✨We all want our pets to live long and happy lives. But is there a secret to making sure that happens? We asked our staff and here is what they had to say!
🧠 Mental Stimulation: Engaging your pet's mind with toys, puzzles, or training keeps them sharp and content.
🐾 Physical Exercise: Regular walks, playtime, or exploring new environments help maintain vitality and prevent boredom.
Dental Care:
🦷 Oral Health Matters: Regular brushing and dental check-ups prevent painful dental diseases, promoting overall well-being.
🥦 Nutritional Balance: Providing a well-balanced diet tailored to your pet's needs is vital for their health and longevity.
🩺 Early Detection: Annual check-ups catch health issues early, enabling timely treatment and preventing complications.
🛡️ Preventive Care: Vaccinations, screenings, and routine exams are key to a pet's long-term health.
Routines with Your Pets:
🕒 Consistency is Key: Establishing daily routines nurtures a sense of security and predictability for your pet.
🤝 Bonding Time: Regular activities build trust and deepen the human-animal bond.
Healthy Diet:
⚖️ Weight Management: A healthy weight reduces the risk of various health problems and ensures a longer, happier life.

You heard us right… we are starting outdoor renovations!! Not only will we be paving our parking lot, but the whole yard will under-going a full beautification 🌳. What will that entail? I’m not privy to that kind of information. But it’s going to be GOOD.
✨Oakridge Animal Clinic will be completely closed - no food or medication sales, no incoming calls, and no appointments - beginning on Monday October 23rd, and we re-opening on Monday November 6th. We are very hopeful that construction will stay on schedule but will keep you updated every step of the way! 👷
👉If you have placed an order for food or medication, please pick them up by ✨Friday, October 20✨. If you are unable to do so, you will be able to pick your orders up at our sister clinic, Oak West Animal Clinic.
We will be available through Oak West Animal Clinic for the entirety of the 2 weeks that Oakridge is closed. We will be running appointments and placing food/medication orders as usual at Oak West.
Please contact us at 519-474-1560 if you are in need of veterinary care, food, or medications.
We have a plan and we are hoping to stick to it!🤞 The clinic will be busy and more crowded than we are all used to. Please allow our staff some grace as we work together to make this transition as smooth as possible!
We are excited to roll up and enjoy the paved driveway…and we hope you are too! 🎉🎉

🐱 Have you ever seen a happier cat during a blood collection?
This is Max! He needed some blood collected but was not a big fan of needles (who is, amiright?)
Luckily he is ✨highly✨ food motivated and LOVED the creamy treat we offered him. Sometimes when it comes to fear free medicine we need a few extra hands, a bit of calm, and lots of patience. This is something we are more than willing to give to our patients, as it means they have a positive experience!
Maybe human medicine can adopt some fear free techniques.. I wouldn’t mind snacking on a slice of pizza🍕 while my blood is being collected!
What would your food of choice be? Let us know in the comments below hehe! 👇

It is so important to provide adequate enrichment for our feline friends! Indoor cats can get bored without proper mental stimulation. This can lead to behavioural issues, which we want to avoid at all costs.🐾 Here are just a few necessities to keep your kitties happy at home: ✨ VERTICAL SPACE: Cats feel safest when they are high off the ground. This is easily accomplished with a 'cat tree' or even shelving on the walls. Window sills are also fun for them, as they offer a wildlife show of squirrels and birds! ✨ HUNTING: It is important for cats to be able to use their hunting instincts, even in the home. Providing them with a 'treat ball', hiding food around the house, and using interactive toys are just a few ways you can do this. It is important for cats to end every play session with a reward, such as a treat, or sinking their teeth in to a stuffy! This is why laser pointers are not ideal toys, unless followed by a delicious snack. ✨ SCRATCHING POSTS: It is very beneficial for our cats to use a scratching post. Scratching helps to remove the dead outer layer of the nail. It also stretches their legs/toes, and just feels good! Studies have shown that cats prefer rope, vertical scratching posts that are at least 3 feet tall. Truly any scratching post that keeps your cat away from the furniture is a good one! These are just a few of the many ways we can offer environment enrichment for our cats. Share your happy cat tips & tricks in the comments below! 🐱 #catsofinstagram #environmentalenrichment #happycat #vetmed #veterinary #veterinarymedicine #veterinarytechnician #vetlife #519london #519ldn #519local #519londonontario #londonontario #smallbusiness #vetclinic #oakridgeanimalclinic #oakwestanimalclinic
