If you’re not getting your pet’s prevention from your veterinary hospital, be SURE you know exactly where it is coming from!

Good post to share, especially since we've seen online pet products fail and heartworm and tick diseases are serious, potentially fatal diseases.

Make sure to know the source of your pet's products! Plus, you'll have an amazing healthcare team supporting your pet's medications and treatment plans 🐾🐾

It is Veterinary Receptionist Week! When you call or come in the clinic, be sure to give them a big smile or tell them how much you appreciate them! They work so unbelievably hard and love being the first people you get to chat with when you come here. We are so incredibly lucky to have them as part of the CAH team. 💗

We are loving this gorgeous weather but our clients are not impressed with how it brings out the parasites! Re-sharing this important message to help our pet parents understand what they are looking for!

It is officially spring! We’ve talked about ticks being active in the spring, but the truth is that ticks can be active in every season. It’s important to stay vigilant!

Do you know how to recognize a tick? Knowing what ticks look like can help you Outsmart Ticks! Anytime, Anywhere.

CAH staff experiencing the solar eclipse! Very Cool! (Credit to Jamie for the cool photos)

04/08/2024

‼️The highly anticipated solar eclipse is upon us today‼️
🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔

📌See below for some pet safety tips!

•Keep your pets indoors!
Although most animals generally don’t look up at the sun, it’s a good idea to keep them inside in case the change in light could confuse or frighten them… even though we all might think putting a pair of “eclipse glasses” might look fun on them for a photo, it’s best to just not! 👓
•Avoid large crowds with your pet!
If you want to go to a popular lookout point to view the eclipse, don’t bring your pet. Large crowds can make pets anxious and stressed and potential cause conflict with other animals who might be there as well. 😫😣😓
•Potential behaviour changes!
With the change in light and surroundings, this could cause your pet to act abnormally, especially if wild animals start to react in a strange manor too 🦆🐦‍⬛🦝🐇🐿️

Hate to put a damper on your beautiful warm day but….. warmer weather unfortunately brings fleas and ticks! Call us ASAP if your pet needs prevention!

Ticks can carry Lyme disease, which can be a serious illness for pets and people. As the weather warms up and ticks become more active, be sure to inspect your pet after a trip outdoors. To learn more about ticks, Lyme disease and parasite prevention, visit ticktalkcanada.com or speak to your veterinarian.

Tick reminder! These ticks were removed off a patient whose owner reports they’ve been finding ticks all winter long! Anytime the weather is -5 degrees or above ticks are active! Make sure your pets are protected!

02/15/2024
