From our friends at McCann Professional Dog Trainers, this video from a few years ago stands the test of time, and still has some amazingly helpful information about how to keep your dogs cool with this heat!

In this video, we're going to talk about how to keep your dog cool in the heat. If you have a dog who loves to be active, regardless of the time of year, you...

Happy Friday! We hope that you're enjoying the sunshine! It does, however, come with risks for our pets' paws when the ground heats up - make sure you keep those tender tootsies safe!

A great read about the risks of stick-chewing! Things to keep in mind with your canine pals. 😳

Dogs and sticks are a natural combination: they go together like milk and cookies. However, sticks can be sharp, and even those that do not start off as sharp can become sharp when gnawed, and can pose heath risks to pets.

We apologize for the late night post, but we nearly missed . Every day, we remember the pets and animals who have changed our lives by simply being present - we remember the impressions they've left on our hearts, and in our minds. This includes both our own furry family members, as well as our patients at the clinic. Please feel free to share with us your favourite photos and memories of pets who are now beyond the rainbow bridge, and please never forget that if you are having trouble coping with the loss of a pet, we are here to help, because we all understand what you are going through. You're not alone.

(Pictured is Samson, who was loved and adored by HWY 24 team member Beth and her family, and really by anyone who knew him, as he was the sweetest boy ever.

🚨Attention Travelling Pet Parents🚨

Effective August 1, 2024, pet parents must adhere to new CDC requirements for importing dogs into the U.S. through all borders, including land and air. Key requirements include:

1️⃣Dogs must appear healthy upon arrival.
2️⃣Dogs must be at least six months old.
3️⃣Dogs must have an ISO-compatible microchip for identification.
4️⃣Dogs must have a Certification of Foreign or U.S.-issued Rabies Vaccination**
5️⃣Dogs must be accompanied by a CDC Dog Import Form receipt
☝🏼Additional requirements vary based on the dog's country of origin and vaccination status

These rules apply to all dogs, including puppies, service animals, and dogs that left the United States and are returning. They also apply whether you are a U.S. citizen, legal U.S. resident, or foreign national.

To learn what you need to travel with your pet, explore the CDC website and leverage their "DogBot" to learn the specific requirements you need to fulfill: https://bit.ly/2rww2bq
Once you know what your pet needs, contact your veterinarian for any required vaccinations, microchips, or examinations, etc.

Please share this post to keep other pet parents informed🔁



**When traveling from Canada to the USA, dogs without rabies vaccinations may still enter, as Canada is deemed a 'low risk' country (provided the dog has not traveled to certain countries within the past six months). Required documentation and a microchip are necessary, but a rabies vaccine is not mandatory. However, without the rabies vaccination, the paperwork is valid for only a single entry into the USA for up to 30 days. In contrast, vaccinated dogs can enjoy significantly longer validity and multiple entries.

Did you know that fleas and tapeworms can be a big concern for our feline friends? Fleas not only cause itching and discomfort but can also transmit tapeworms, a common internal parasite in cats. Regular preventive measures can keep your cat healthy and happy. Stay informed, stay proactive!

Have you heard about the upcoming changes to requirements for pets travelling to the USA from Canada? As of August 1, 2024, the requirements for entry to the USA with a pet (whether by land, sea or air) are changing - the final documents that will be required are not yet available (as our Canadian agency, the CFIA, is still in discussions with the CDC), but we do know this: all pets entering the USA from Canada will be REQUIRED to have a valid, ISO-certified microchip implant. They also will (as previous) require a valid rabies vaccination, administered by a veterinarian. While the rabies vaccine has always been a requirement (though proof not always requested at the border), the microchip stipulation is new - are your pets microchipped? If there is any chance you will be attempting cross-border travel after Aug 1 with your pet, and they do not have a registered microchip, please book your appointment with us ASAP, as we want to make sure your pets meet all the requirements to travel!

Josephine would like to wish everyone a very happy holiday weekend! She also wanted to make sure all of her fans remember that this long weekend means fireworks, so for those of you with noise-sensitive pets, please make sure you're well prepared.

Did you know that less than 10% of the pets that are unchipped will return home each year?​

A microchip is a secure, reliable, permanent identification for your pet and the process is simple and affordable. Microchipping your pet can help ensure that if your pet goes missing, they can be identified and find their way back to you. ​

If your pet is chipped, make sure their information is up to date. To help keep pets close to their loved ones, share this post and remind your friends to !​
