As many are aware, North Simcoe's barn went on fire last night. Our barn, tilt table/horse stocks room and garage are destroyed.

Thankfully, our horses and barn cats were able to escape the fire, and are being assessed to ensure no injuries have occurred.

We are overwhelmed by the community spirit and offers of help on social media, emails, text messages and other avenues. We are so grateful to live and work in such a place!

Our phone lines and power have just been restored, so please bear with us.

Our appointments ARE going ahead. Our clinic is structurally sound and was unaffected by the fire.

Firefighters are still currently trying to get the fire under control, as our hay is still smouldering and trying to ignite.

There are lots of ways to stay cool this long weekend, but ALWAYS remember to check for any advisories - Little Lake, Bass Lake and Orr Lake are currently experiencing active blue-green algae blooms. These are toxic to animals and can cause mild to very severe symptoms. There is no cure for this toxin, only supportive care. If in doubt - stay out of the water!

Other ways to keep cool:

- Air conditioning and fans - a must for our short-nosed breeds of dogs and cats, who already have compromised airways e.g. Persians, Pugs, Frenchies.

- Kiddie pools.

- Puddles - make sure your pet's leptospirosis vaccine is up to date!

- Walking early morning and late evening.

**The USA is changing their import requirements for small animals on AUGUST 1st. **

This is an evolving situation, but currently the new US requirements are:

All dogs must be older than 6 months of age.

All dogs must have a microchip implanted.

All dogs must be up to date with rabies, which must be given AFTER microchip implantation.
**This may mean that you will need to revaccinate your pet even if they are considered "up to date"**

We have not yet been informed whether or not paperwork will need to be certified by the CFIA in Barrie. The US will be making this known in the next week.

We will update our clients as we know more, but what we DO know is that you will need to plan accordingly for health papers, and know your travel plans in a timely manner.

Unfortunately we have also lost power to North Simcoe. If you have a large animal emergency tonight, please call 705-527-8293 which will put you directly through to our answering service!

07/10/2024

Our computers and phone lines are currently down in our Midland office. This appears to be a town/road issue, and they are working on restoring power.
Our apologies to anyone trying to reach Midland - if you are experiencing a small animal emergency, please head to HVEC in Barrie.

Happy Canada Day long weekend!

We wish all our clients a safe and fun holiday weekend! A reminder that our North Simcoe clinic will be open on Monday July 1st from 8am - 1pm for food and medications pick-up.

Please join us in extending congratulations to our wonderful Dr Rose!

Dr Rose welcomed her beautiful baby girl last week, and Mama and baby are doing well.

Dr Rose will be off on her maternity leave for the next while, and we wish her all the best with her new little addition to the family ❤️

06/12/2024

Some of our pet patients are of the hoofed-variety, and require all-hands on deck to safely anaesthetise and recover for surgery - staff members Jaclyn and Julie were very happy to have post-operative cuddles with our goat kids after Dr Elri finished her surgery!

06/07/2024

Flea and tick prevention is crucial for the health and well-being of pets. These parasites can cause a range of health issues, including skin irritation, allergic reactions, and other diseases. Book your appointment today with us and speak to one of our staff members on how you can protect your furry family member.

05/24/2024

Maisie is missing. Please keep an eye out for this sweet girl and call the number on the flyer with any sightings and/or information. Her family is worried and missing her tons.

It's World Veterinary Day!

We are so lucky at North Simcoe to be an independently-owned Veterinary clinic - Drs Edie and Joel have always been there to encourage their veterinarians (past and present) to succeed.

Through collaboration and teamwork, we can support each other in and out of work!

04/22/2024

This Earth Week, we want to challenge our pet parents to get out and explore the local trails and nature we have all around our two clinics!

Nature is so important to us all here at the vets - from mental health walks, to the food our farming clients grow, we all depend on this planet we call home!

Do your bit while outdoors - take home your garbage, and leave only footprints behind 🌎

04/15/2024

Surgery day can be scary for you! We also know it can be a bit worrisome for your pet too. That's why our surgical patients receive some pre-operative sedation to help them chilllllllll out in clinic.

Here is a very relaxed Honey, enjoying her sedation and cuddles with Tech Dave, while RVT Taylor places a catheter into a vein.

Catheters mean we have access to our patients' veins at all times in surgery, which is just one of the many safety protocols we take for our surgery buddies ❤️

**Update - Owner found! Thanks for the shares**

Do you know me?

I think I live on Rumney Rd or near Vasey! But I got distracted by some delicious cow and sheep manure and wandered off.
I am well fed, and neutered, but not chipped.

Please contact North Simcoe if you know me! 7055347680

04/04/2024

North Simcoe is currently experiencing an issue with their phones.
Half our staff think it is due to the weather. The other half are blaming the calf for helping out !

We are doing our best to get things sorted!

Animals don't know when it's a long weekend!

When this little guy was feeling poorly, our large animal veterinarian was able to get him on the right side of up, thanks to the help of our great weekend staff who could provide some TLC.

After a weekend in the clinic, he was ready to say thanks by helping our Sheila with the books!

03/27/2024

It's Easter!
That means sunshine, walks with your dog, and beautiful flowers to display in your house.

Always remember to keep Easter flower arrangements out of homes with cats - cats do not have to ingest lilies to experience life threatening illness; even just licking the pollen from their fur can cause significant damage.

To allow our staff to spend this long weekend with their families and friends, both of our clinics will be closing at 5pm tomorrow, Thursday.
Our farm office will be open for food and medication pick up Friday - Sunday at reduced hours, and our Midland office will be open on Saturday morning for supplies.

03/20/2024

Great turnout for our Dairy Producer meeting, currently in full swing and getting ready to break for lunch! Drs Elri and Joel have done a great job with our speakers this year -

Lots of relevant information and tidbits for our Dairy clients to take home.

03/19/2024

Our clinics will be closing for short periods today to allow our staff to attend some meetings!

North Simcoe will be closed 12-1.30pm, and Midland will be closed 1.30-2.30pm.

Any phone messages left during these times will be dealt with over the next 24hours.

03/08/2024

Do you know me?

A good Samaritan handed this slightly chubby, friendly female into our Midland office. She was found in Port and had kitty litter on her feet, so we know she is missed by someone!
She is receiving some veterinary care by our lovely support staff.

If you have any information, please get in contact with us here, or call Midland 7055268002 ext 6.
Proof of ownership required.

Valentine's Day is just around the corner! You know what that means?

It's time for our annual PSA on keeping your delicious chocolate treats away from your pets.

Chocolate toxicity is no joke - depending on the type of chocolate and the size of your pet, signs can range from gastric upset, to seizures and irregular heart rhythms.

If you suspect your dog has eaten chocolate, give our clinic a call and try and have as much information as possible:
What's your dog's weight?
What kind of chocolate was it?
How much approximately was eaten?

Is your dog your true love this Valentine's? Give them a chew toy, and eat the chocolates yourself!

Photo: this mildly chaotic gal is too busy being a flower to go find some chocolate to munch.

Dreaming about spring?

So are we!
We are already booking our horse barn spring vaccinations - show season and mosquito season varies, as do our veterinarian schedules.

Our bulk of our barn vaccines will be in APRIL or JUNE this year, as we will have very limited availability in May.

Have your barn owner set up a vaccine date with us, and ensure you are on the list!

Core vaccines for horses in our area are Rabies, EEE, WEE, West Nile and Tetanus. Show horses or frequent group trail-ers should also get the EHV/Flu vaccine.

**update - owner found! Thank you all for sharing**

Hey Friends,

These two were out adventuring around Waubaushene today. Neither have a microchip. Please share, and if anyone has any leads, comment or call North Simcoe Vet in the morning. Thank you!

North Simcoe and Midland Vet Services are hiring!
We would love to add another licenced veterinarian to our team to help us continue to provide care to the animals and clients in our area.

We would like to wish the very best of luck to all of our clients who will be attending the Royal Winter Fair 2023 down in Toronto this year!

We are privileged to work alongside these hardworking individuals to provide care and support to their animals.

This year, we have clients competing in the DAIRY cattle and BEEF cattle shows, as well as in the SHOWMANSHIP, HUNTER and JUMPER horse shows! What a phenomenal achievement for all these competitors!

The North Simcoe Vet team are rooting for you all!

Update - Owner has been located and informed of their sad loss.

A good Samaritan brought in a female tortie cat wearing this collar. Unfortunately, she had been hit by a car close to Midland high school, and passed away at our Midland clinic.
If you are the owner of this cat, or know the owner, please contact our clinic - 705 526 8002. She appears to be a well loved family pet. 😔

Drivers - please slow down on all roads.

09/06/2023

A reminder to all our wonderful clients (two-and-four legged) that both our clinics will close at 1.30pm today to allow our staff to attend some fantastic continuing education.

Midland will be open 8am - 5pm, and North Simcoe will be open 8am - 8pm tomorrow for all your medication and food pick up needs, if you cannot get in to us this morning!

She's got her hair all done and her summer tires on - one tough farm guard dog wanted to let our large animal vet and the world know that she is summer ready and fabulous! We hope you enjoy the long weekend; our clinics will reopen for small animal appointments on Tuesday. We are open as always for large animal emergency calls.

Are you as excited for the weekend as these Great Dane cross puppies were to see us?

Free kittens available to good homes. First vaccinations done. Please call North Simcoe Vets for more information. 705-534-7680

Lenny and the staff have discovered the wonders of a diaper. No more chasing Lenny with the mop!!!!

Update on that orphan lamb. He has been named Leonard, but we call him Lenny for short. He is doing well and is going to be adopted by one of our staff.
