🐾 THROW BACK THURSDAY!

What's your diagnosis?

A sudden rash appears on the abdomen of a dog with multiple ring like bruises. Non painful, not itchy.
-------------------------------------------------------------
THE ANSWER : You were correct if you said...

Black fly bites!

We get a lot of worried calls this time of year, because the bite actually looks worse than it is. Those little tiny black flies have cutting mouth parts - they actually bite a little chunk of skin away (see the pin prick dot in the middle of the rings?) They also have anticoagulant in their salivary glands so the blood flows for enough time for them to have their meal. It is the anticoagulant that causes the distinct bruised ring like rash on the dog's skin.

Most fly bites are harmless, but just like some people - some dogs can have an allergic reaction to the bite. This results in swelling, sometimes of the eyelids, muzzle and ears, or hives along the rest of the body.

Antihistamines like bendaryl can be used to ease a dog in discomfort. Give your vet a call if you think your dog is suffering from these bites.

There are some top spot products such as Advantage Multi that tend to discourage biting insects, as well as some gentle sprays that can be used. Never use a DEET product on your pet.

FYI - this is actually Dr. Lariviere's dog Echo. She got lost for a few hours in the woods the other night resulting in her bites. If you live in Beaver Lake and heard a crazy person yelling "Echo!!!" around 10 pm, that was me! :)

🦇 Rabies Risk Is Closer Than You Think 🐾

Did you know? Bat bites can be nearly invisible—yet bats are the most common source of rabies in Canada. You may not even realize you've been bitten. This is why it's critical to keep your pets up to date on their rabies vaccines. It's their only protection—and yours.

🚨 A fox in Ottawa recently tested positive for rabies
✈️ And in global news, a woman in the UK tragically died from rabies after petting a stray puppy while traveling abroad.

💉 Take action:
✔️ Always vaccinate your pets—cats and dogs
✔️ Avoid petting stray or unknown animals while traveling
✔️ Never touch wildlife, even if they seem tame or injured
✔️ If you or your pet may have been exposed—seek help immediately

🌏 Whether it’s Dr. Charlotte vaccinating thousands of dogs in Cambodia with Mission Rabies, or our local vets protecting pets in Ontario—this is a global fight with local stakes.

Don’t wait. Rabies is preventable—but only if we stay proactive.
Make sure your pet is up to date! 705-692-4446

🐾TAKE ME HOME TUESDAY! 🐾

Meet Roddy! 🐾
Roddy is a stunning large breed dog, about 2 years old and weighing in over 100lbs— a true gentle giant! 🦴💙

He’s lived with another dog and has shown positive, calm interactions through the fence, so he could do well in a multi-dog home. He shares toys well and loves to run around and play. However, proper dog introductions are always recommended!

This handsome boy is very curious and loves to explore and sniff around. Roddy does show signs of separation anxiety and would thrive with someone or a dog friend to be around and keep him company. Roddy loves car rides and really enjoys to look out the window, he would make a great companion for someone who loves to travel. He’s fully house-trained and ready to settle into a loving home. 🏡🐕

If you’re looking for a loyal, calm companion with plenty of love to give, Roddy might just be the perfect match.

If interested in meeting please call 705-694-7387 or apply online:

😻TAKE ME HOME TUESDAY😻

Meet Florence 🐾
Florence is a handsome ~2-year-old Domestic Medium Hair with a love for exploring, treats, gentle pets, and peace and quiet.

Independent yet affectionate on his terms, he enjoys lounging in comfy spots and doing his own thing. He can be a bit grumbly or vocal at times, but don’t let that fool you—he still enjoys affection and will come rub up on you for a pet when he's in the mood.

Florence has gotten along with some female cats but may be happiest as the only pet in a calm, quiet home. If you’re looking for a mellow, low-maintenance companion who respects your space and offers occasional cuddles, Florence could be the one for you.

Reach out today to learn more about bringing him home (705-694-7387) or apply online:
