German shepherds are an athletic and high-energy breed of dog that demand multiple hours of daily activity. It isn’t always easy to know when your pup needs some extra exercise, but keeping these behaviors in mind will provide some better insight into whether you’ll need to make some changes to their routine. Symptoms of a restless dog include destructive behavior, excessive barking, weight gain, lethargy, and depression. Are you searching for more information about how to properly care for your dogs? We'd love to help with that! Call us at 519-672-1210 for all your care questions.
Happy September Long Weekend!

It’s Prevention day!
Just a friendly reminder to give your dog their heartworm ( & flea and tick ) prevention today!
Taking preventative measures against fleas, ticks, and parasites is extremely important. Never let your pet miss a vaccination, chewable tablet, or any topical medication. Let us know if you need your prescriptions updated so we can provide them on time. Contact us at 519-672-1210!
It’s back to school time next week. Prepare your furry family member for this transition back to ‘school schedule’ .
Here are a few suggestions to help you.
An annual blood panel is an important health matter for every pet. The importance of this is even greater for senior dogs. One of the tests included in the panel is CBC. The results of this test provide a complete picture of the cells present in your pet's body and their condition. Don't forget to schedule your pet's annual appointment by calling us at 519-672-1210.
These tests, along with a physical examination, let us identify diseases earlier and offer therapies that can prolong your pet's happiness and health. Schedule an appointment with us today at 519-672-1210.

Grapes can be toxic for dogs. Ingesting them can cause kidney failure. Therefore, it is important to keep grapes out of your pets' reach. Stay current with your dogs' healthcare needs and schedule their appointment by calling 519-672-1210.
Despite popular belief, dogs are actually omnivores! In fact, even wolves in the wild gain nutrition from both plants and animals. A balanced diet for dogs includes both plant-based and protein sources! Did you know this? Share your thoughts with us in the comments! For more fun dog-related information and care tips, contact us at 519-672-1210.

It is possible for dogs to have obstructive sleep apnea. Unlike with humans, CPAP machines are not yet available for dogs. For obese dogs, it's recommended to change their diet to lose excess weight. If you notice your dog excessively snoring and gasping for air when they sleep, contact our office right away at 519-672-1210!
Did you know that kittens are born with blue eyes? Indeed! By the time you bring them home at 8 weeks; however, it is likely that they have already begun to transform into their adult color. Kittens’ eyes begin to change between 3 and 8 weeks of age. The most common cat eye colors are brown, yellow orange, green, and amber. You may still notice changes in their eye color up until their first birthday. Stay current with your cats' healthcare needs and schedule their appointment by calling 519-672-1210.
The most important aspect of maintaining your dog's dental care is to remember to schedule your regular check-ups with us! In your pet's wellness exams, we can confirm that your dog's overall health & oral health are in check. Your dog's well-being is our priority - give us a call at 519-672-1210!
Don't miss your pet's vaccination appointment! Vaccines work by introducing a weakened form of a virus into the body which stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. These antibodies then protect your pet from the virus, and can even prevent it from becoming ill if it comes into contact with the virus in the future. Is it time to get your pet vaccinated? Schedule a vaccination appointment with us today at 519-672-1210.
Decorating with plants and flowers is a great way to beautify your home, but some of your favorite foliage can be toxic to your feline friend. Before adding new greenery to your home or garden, read up on poisonous plants to cats so that you can keep your kitty safe. Feel free to double check with us at 519-672-1210 before adding a plant to your home/garden. Here is just a selection of plants and flowers toxic to cats:

Dog owners should be vigilant about checking what they give their dogs. It is possible for some ingredients to be remarketed under different names, which can lead to confusion. It is important to remember that xylitol poisoning can result in hypoglycemia, seizures, and even death in dogs. We urge you to contact us at 519-672-1210 right away if your pet ingested this ingredient by accident.

Regular dental cleanings are an important part of your dog's overall health care regimen. This is because it helps to prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar, which can cause periodontal disease. It also helps to detect any underlying issues with your dog's teeth or gums and can prevent any from developing into more serious problems down the line. Schedule an appointment with us at 519-672-1210

As of August 1st 2024, the USA has new travel requirements for DOGS coming in to the US from low risk for rabies countries.
Canada is a low risk country.
When crossing the border, along with your Rabies vaccine certificate, you will need to:
1) fill out a form stating that the dog has been in Canada ( or other low risk for rabies country) for at least 6 months
https://www.cdc.gov/importation/dogs/dog-import-form-instructions.html
Additional requirements are
2) the dog is to be 6 months or older
3) has a scannable microchip
4) appears healthy on arrival at the border.
These are new guidelines issued by the government of the United States. We have no control over them in Canada. If you have questions or concerns, you must reach out to the CDC.
August 1st - just a reminder it’s the first of the month! Give your dog his heart worm prevention today!
Kittens require a large amount of energy – almost two to three times that of an adult cat! They also need about 30% of that energy to come from protein. Make sure that the food you are feeding them is specifically formulated for kittens to ensure that they are receiving all the important nutrients your fur baby needs to grow strong and healthy! Your kitten will need to eat kitten-specific food until it reaches maturity at about one year of age. Not sure what is best for your cat? Contact us at 519-672-1210 to set up a health plan purr-fectly tailored to their needs!
Typically, puppies require about 6 to 10 hours of sleep daily. Every puppy is different, with some needing up to 20 hours a day to maintain their high levels of energy. However, by 16 weeks, most breeds will be able to sleep throughout the night. Daytime napping is perfectly healthy for your growing baby dog and is nothing to be concerned about. Sleep is essential for healthy development, and creating a schedule will help your pupper get the right balance of sleep and play time. New dog? 🐶 We can't wait to meet your furry family member! Schedule their visit today at 519-672-1210.
Keeping your pet healthy requires a balanced diet, exercise, and scheduling your check-up appointments with us! We're here to help you confirm that your pet's well-being is at its best & solve any health issues they might be experiencing. Give us a call at 519-672-1210!
