What was once a small clinic on a horse farm has evolved into a state-of-the-art facility that provides highly skilled veterinary care mainly to small animals, although we still care for a number of equine patients at their farm. Our dedicated staff share the Clinic’s mission of offering excellent service to our clients and compassionate care to their pets at all times.

Attention all dog owners crossing from Canada into the USA: The CDC has introduced new regulations effective August 1st, 2024. Here are the key requirements:
• Dogs must be over 6 months old.
• They must be microchipped.
• The microchip must be implanted before the rabies vaccination.
To cross the border, you will need:
1. Certification Paperwork: Completed at a veterinary clinic after an examination, this form must be finalized within 30 days prior to entering the US and is only valid for 30 days. A second signature from a Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) Veterinarian is required.
2. Veterinary records or receipts from the past 6 months.
3. CDC Dog Import Form: Available from July 15, 2024, on the CDC website, this form must be completed 2–10 days before travel.
Different rules apply to dogs coming from countries other than Canada or those that have been outside of Canada in the last 6 months. If uncertain, consult the US CDC’s DogBot: CDC DogBot.
We are awaiting further guidance from the CFIA and will provide updates via social media.
Contact us at least two weeks before travel to book an appointment for your pet’s examination and form processing. We cannot accommodate same-day form requests. If your pet requires a microchip and/or rabies vaccine, please reach out to us.
For pets traveling to countries other than the USA, initiate the process at least three months prior to travel. Visit the CFIA website for more information: CFIA Travelling with Pets.
For breeders and importers, please visit the website for detailed requirements, documentation, and applicable regulations.

March is Tick Awareness Month! 🐾
Protect your beloved pet from Lyme disease with preventive measures like Simparica Trio and Nexgard Spectra. These monthly chewable tablets offer complete defense against ticks, fleas, and intestinal parasites, ensuring your pet's well-being.
Simparica Trio and Nexgard Spectra offer more than just tick and flea protection for your furry friend; they also safeguard against Lyme disease and heartworm disease. Heartworms spread through mosquito bites. These preventative treatments not only eliminate current heartworm larvae but also stop new infections from taking hold.
The importance of heartworm testing cannot be emphasized enough. This simple and quick test can detect the presence of heartworms in your dog, even before symptoms start to show. By regularly testing your dog for heartworms, you can catch any potential infections early on and ensure prompt treatment.
In addition to effectively combating various parasites, preventative products provide lasting protection. They begin working shortly after administration and safeguard your dog for a full month. A monthly dosage is all that's needed to alleviate concerns and guarantee your dog's happiness and health. Ideal for dog owners who value thorough flea and tick prevention.
Contact the clinic today to schedule an appointment with our technicians for annual heartworm testing, create a personalized prevention plan for your pet, and discover the benefits of our Simparica Trio and Nexgard Spectra options. Rest easy knowing your furry friend is safeguarded against Lyme disease, heartworm issues, and other pesky parasites! 🪱
October is RVT Month.
Often times when veterinary technicians are asked, “What do you do?” the response tends to be short, “Just a tech.”
We think of veterinary technicians as crucial and hardworking members of the veterinary team. They work alongside our amazing veterinarians.
Join us this week in celebrating them! Working in veterinary medicine is not easy and being a vet tech encompasses many different important tasks including emergencies, radiology, surgery, laboratory, anesthesia, invoicing, client relations, pharmacy, and much more.
Our technicians are so worthy of our kindness and respect! We thank you so much. Please thank your vet tech today and make sure they know how much they are appreciated!!

The Humane Society is nearing capacity for dogs. In the first half of 2023, surrendered dog intake increased by 62% and stray dog intake increased by 42%, placing a strain on available kennel space. To help a number of dogs find homes, we’ll be hosting our BIGGEST dog adoption promo of the year this week on July 6-8, 2023! All dogs who have been available for adoption for more than 30 days, who are over 100lbs, and over 4 years of age will be FREE, and all other dogs will have their adoption fees reduced by 50%! Historically, animal welfare organizations worried that when adoption fees are reduced adopters may not feel the same attachment to their adopted animal. However, extensive experience with these events in the US and scientific research has proven that concern unfounded.
This special dog adoption event will take place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, July 6-8 from 1:30-6pm each day at the Humane Society. For the duration of this event all dog adoption applications will be accepted in person only. Online applications will be paused for dogs, but will still be available for cats and small animals.
Even at these steeply discounted adoption rates all dog adoptions come with the usual great package - spay/neuter surgery, microchip, age appropriate vaccines, heartworm test, parasite treatment, and two sessions with our behaviour team.

Ticks are now active and on the hunt for a blood meal! Make sure your pet is up to date on their Lyme disease vaccination and flea/ tick medication! How to Check for Ticks: Start at your pet’s head and run your fingers through their fur across their entire body. Feel for any abnormal lumps or bumps. Be sure to check under their collar, groin, front legs, arm pits, tail, ears and between paw pads. How to Remove a Tick: Please remove a tick immediately if found as it will reduce the chance of disease transmission. Ticks can start to transmit disease 24-48 hours after embedding. The easiest and safest way to remove a tick is to grasp it as close to the skin with fine tipped tweezers and pull straight out, DO NOT squeeze the body of the tick. Do not apply petroleum jelly, alcohol or burn the tick. Please call our clinic if you need assistance or a tick remover. Update our clinic if you find a tick on your animal in order to ensure they receive proper care and prevention.
Here is a video of our "tick friends" that have hatched over this last year. This tick was placed in this container over a year ago. At some point she had laid eggs and this week we noticed they weren't eggs! But 6 legged larva! Don't worry, they're closed in tight!
Besides veterinary care, Town and Country Animal Clinic also provides boarding services, professional grooming, prescription and maintenance pet foods, and many pet supplies. Whatever the needs of our patients are, Dr. Fetherston and our healthcare team at Town and Country are ready and willing to assist you in any way we can. For your convenience we offer same day appointments. We look forward to meeting you and your pet in our office soon!
