Winter Tips for Happy, Safe Paws! 🐾❄️

Winter can be tough on our pets’ paws! Here are some simple ways to keep them safe and comfortable this season:
• Use pet-safe salt on walkways.
• Protect paws with boots, pad covers, or balms.
• Wash their feet after walks to remove salt and ice.
• Keep nails trimmed to improve traction.
• Help them navigate slippery stairs with a harness.

Let’s keep our furry friends happy, healthy, and injury-free all winter long!

Holiday Tips for Senior Pets

The holiday season often brings gatherings and celebrations, but not all pets—especially seniors—enjoy the hustle and bustle. To keep your senior pet happy and safe, make sure they have a quiet, comfortable space to retreat to when things get noisy. Whether it’s a cozy room or a tucked-away corner, this safe spot should be away from loud music, crowds, and tempting foods that could be harmful to them.

Many senior pets prefer a calm environment over the excitement of a big party. Respect their comfort by letting them choose whether to join the festivities or relax in their safe space. This way, your furry friend can enjoy the holidays stress-free, and you can have peace of mind knowing they’re safe and content.

The picture below is of Jake my first Italian greyhound who I was highly involved with in the Halifax Kennel Club. We did obedience,
Rally and the drill team visiting local seniors around HRM. This group was definitely a help in making me the vet I am today.

Miss Birney had an acupuncture visit with Dr. Lang. This was session number 2. This beautiful girl is over 20 years old. She was so comfortable during her session she was snoring. The second picture was taken when I asked her if she wanted to go home.

Senior Pet Month - Arthritis is a common issue for senior pets, but it doesn’t mean the end of life or a reduced quality of life. Veterinarians can help manage arthritis through various treatments, including medications, joint supplements, physical therapy, and lifestyle adjustments. These therapies can relieve pain, improve mobility, and boost overall comfort for your pet. With the right support, senior pets with arthritis can continue to enjoy happy, active lives.
