Don't forget to bring a fresh f***l sample with you to your puppy or kitten's first vaccine appointment! Some parasites like roundworms can be passed down to puppies and kittens when they nurse from their mothers. The best way to check for these parasites is a f***l sample (make sure the sample you bring in is less than 24 hours old - the fresher the better!)

Do you have pet insurance? Pet insurance or pet health insurance helps cover the cost of medical expenses should your pet become ill or have an accident.

Some pet insurance companies also offer routine and wellness coverage (vaccinations, annual wellness exams, spaying/neutering, heartworm testing/medications, etc) for an additional fee. For more info on pet insurance and how to figure out the best plan for you, check out the link below!

Has your dog gotten their 4DX test yet? We recommend dogs get this test done every year before they start on their heartworm prevention. The 4DX test is a quick and simple blood test that screens for four diseases which affect our dogs: Heartworm, Lyme, Anaplasma and Ehrlichia. Do you have questions about 4DX testing or want to book an appointment? Call us at 519-696-2120.

Did you know….
About 1 in 5 of Blacklegged ticks you encounter in Canada could
be carrying the bacteria that causes Lyme disease! This number
can be even higher in known risk areas!

Did you know….
Blacklegged ticks (the ones that can transmit the Lyme disease
bacteria) can survive freezing temperatures? One way is that
they create their own “anti-freeze” that helps them tolerate the
cold!
However, a new study showed that when they are infected with
certain bacteria, like the one that causes Lyme disease, they may
be even BETTER at surviving our cold winters! Call us to discuss
the best tick control options for your pet.

infected with the bacteria that causes Lyme disease it may be
more likely to survive Canadian winters! Yikes!

The tick, Ixodes scapularis, vectors pathogens such as Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterium that causes Lyme disease. Over the last few decades I. scapularis has expanded its range, introducing a novel health threat into these areas. Warming temperatures appear to be one cause of its range expansion....
