Have a pesky problem to solve with someone you know? Well, get your hands ready because it's World Rock Paper Scissors Day!

Can't make a decision with your loved one about who should figure out what you're having for dinner? Rock, Paper, Scissors, baby!

Did your child spill something on the ground and they don't think they should have to clean it up? Rock, paper, scissors it out, and if you win, too bad for them!

It may not work in every circumstance, but you can always try! 😉

✨ Happy Sunday from the gang of Oakley, Jasper and Ivy! We're not sure if they're planning a sick album to drop as per the usual, or if they're just so utterly unimpressed that we weren't providing a constant supply of treats. In this economy, we may never know.

We are here today to grab your attention and reopen a pretty deep wound..

Today, back in 2006, Pluto was demoted. The poor soul was originally the 9th planet from the sun, and was knocked down to dwarf planet. Feel free to take a minute, we get it.

It's okay Pluto, you'll always be a proper planet to us! ❤️

Happy Friday but more importantly, happy International Blind Dog Day! 🐶❤️

"Like humans, some dogs are born blind, while others lose their vision in one or both eyes because of age, trauma, or diseases. Fortunately, they quickly adjust to their new reality and can live long, happy lives without losing most of their independence."

To continue with the weekend theme, happy World Elephant Day! 🐘

"The escalation of poaching, habitat loss, human-elephant conflict and mistreatment in captivity are just some of the threats to both African and Asian elephants. Working towards better protection for wild elephants, improving enforcement policies to prevent the illegal poaching and trade of ivory, conserving elephant habitats, better treatment for captive elephants and, when appropriate, reintroducing captive elephants into natural, protected sanctuaries are the goals that numerous elephant conservation organizations are focusing on around the world."

Hello one and all! Just poppin' into your feed once again to let you know of an upcoming, longer than usual, closure of the clinic! ✨

We will be closed from Thursday, August 29th through until Tuesday, September 10th. The clinic itself may be open on the Tuesday to pick items up, but we will not be able to book any appointments for that day and Dr. Mackenzie will not be in the clinic to chat or discuss anything.

If you are needing to stock up on items please keep in mind our last order will be the second to last week of August, on Thursday the 22nd. I, (Jess), place the order as early as possible on Thursday's, so if you're needing something be sure to give as much notice as possible otherwise we may not be able to help.

Please also keep in mind after being closed we generally come back to A LOT of missed messages, and sifting through them all will take us time, (given we're only working with half of the staff stilll), but we will get back to you when we're able.

Thank you for your understanding! 🙂🔥

Fun fact Friday comin' in hot! 🔥

Did you know that the coats of Dalmatians are pretty much like their very own fingerprints? THat being said, no two Dalmatians will ever have the same pattern on their coats! This is hard to tell with the naked eye of course since all Dalmatians look pretty much the same, no offence! 😉

As your pet’s human companion, it’s your job to keep your furry feline as safe as possible, which may mean removing some hazardous items from your home or placing them out of reach. https://pbxx.it/r7ulFD

Happy Tuesday from Bugs just hanging out, no pun intended! 👀

07/23/2024

Hello all! We've come running in today to provide the newst, of many, updates regarding traveling to the United States come August 1st. To make things as black and white as possible, please see the instructions below! Please keep in mind that we are NOT involved whatsoever with the CDC Dog Import Form, that is up to each pet owner to do on their own accord and submit online. Please also keep in mind that we have absolutely zero control over any of this!

"The US CDC has once again revised the rules for importation of dogs into the US from dog-rabies free or low risk countries (including Canada) that will come into effect on August 1, 2024. This applies to dogs that have not visited any high-risk countries for at least 6 months prior to travelling to the US.

It’s quite simple, logical and straightforward now:

The dog owner (or whoever is accompanying the dog) must complete the new online CDC Dog Import Form for each dog. The form no longer requires a photo for such a dog, and is valid for up to 6 months, as long as the dog does not visit any high-risk countries. There is no fee or waiting period associated with completing this form (free). A separate form must be completed for each dog.
The dog must appear healthy upon arrival (this is not new).
The dog must be at least 6 months old at time of entry to the US.
The dog must have a microchip that can be detected with a universal scanner to identify them.
Notably, there is no longer any requirement for proof of rabies vaccination for dogs travelling from low-risk countries, but remember that proof of current rabies vaccination is still required for dogs returning to Canada from the US.

There is no apparent mechanism for verifying that the dog has not visited any high-risk countries for at least 6 months prior to travelling to the US, beyond the owner attestation on the CDC Dog Import Form. Dogs still have to be at least 6 months old, which will still be a potential issue for breeders and for cross-border veterinary care, but these changes remove most of the major challenges and hassles with which we’ve been grappling since the CDC’s original announcement in May."

Pets have the power to bring a considerable amount of joy into people’s lives. They offer unconditional love and loyalty to their owners and will possess a place in your heart forever. They may also be beneficial to your health and well-being. https://pbxx.it/xYsBdp
