Do you ever leave your pet’s food outside? Be aware that this attracts wildlife like bats, raccoons, foxes, and more that can potentially expose your dog or cat to rabies. So please remember:
❌ Don’t leave food outside
✅ Do vaccinate your pet against rabies
Contact us today to check and see if your pet is up-to-date on their vaccines http://www.northbayanimalhospital.ca

Stay cool, stay hydrated! 💧🐾
July is National Pet Hydration Awareness Month, reminding us to keep our furry friends refreshed and revitalized during the summer heat to help prevent dehydration and/or heatstroke. Remember to provide fresh water and shade, especially during outdoor adventures. Let's keep those tails wagging and tongues lapping with plenty of H2O!
Please share to help spread awareness!

It takes at least 12 weeks to kill all of the fleas on your pet as well as new fleas emerging from an infested home environment. Consistent flea control on all pets in your home helps prevent fall flea infestations.
Talk to us about #FleaControl.
Ticks are active in the fall.
Whenever the temperature is over 4°C your dog could run into a questing tick.

Fall flea infestations happen frequently to unprotected cats, especially those that roam outdoors. Make sure your cat doesn’t bring home an unwanted hitchhiker that starts an infestation. #FleaControl

An important part of your pet’s check-up is receiving needed vaccinations as determined by your veterinarian. Many vaccines require regular booster doses in order to continue helping protect your pet from disease. Your pet’s vaccines may even change from one year to the next depending on whether there have been any changes to your pet’s activities or where you live.
If you have any questions or would like to schedule your pet’s wellness visit, please contact us http://www.northbayanimalhospital.ca
Just like dogs, cats require regular check-ups to ensure they are living their best life.
But let’s face it. Herding cats can be like… herding cats. Raise your scratched hand if you’ve ever put a nervous cat in a carrier resulting in cattoos up your arms. 🙋
Let's take a look at how to get your cat into their carrier and prepare them for their vet visit.
In case you didn't know, Monday Aug. 22 is "Take Your Cat to the Vet Day" - a great time to schedule an appointment for your cat's next (or maybe first) visit. 😽 #MeowMonth
We get it. Your cat’s claws can sometimes be sharper than kitchen knives.
While outdoor cats can naturally wear down their nails, indoor cats need trims more often. Trimming a kitty's nails can be tough but it pays to purrsevere.
This video will show you how it's done - catisfaction guaranteed! #MeowMonth
Here at our clinic, we are often asked by owners of indoor cats whether vaccination is really necessary. To that we say, ‘Let's talk!’
Vaccination helps protect your cat from serious diseases. If you have any questions or would like to schedule your pet’s wellness visit, please contact us http://www.northbayanimalhospital.ca
When you hear the words ‘canine cough’, what comes to mind? Places where large numbers of dogs come together, such as a boarding facility or day care centre?
It’s important to know that canine cough can happen any time dogs interact—during daily
walks, at the dog park, during playdates. This highly contagious respiratory disease can even spread if the contact between dogs is very brief, such as during training classes or in an elevator.
Vaccination can help protect your dog from canine cough. Schedule your dog’s visit today,
and help keep your pet safe when socializing. http://www.northbayanimalhospital.ca
Happy Watermelon Day! 🍉
Did you know that watermelon is a safe and healthy treat for most dogs, as it is low in calories and fat while being high in vitamins A, B6, and C, as well as potassium?
It also contains a good amount of water, which can help keep dogs hydrated, especially during hot weather!
July is #LostPetPreventionMonth.
Remember that a lost pet has a better chance of being returned home if they always wear a collar and an ID tag with your name and contact information.
Make sure to take measures to keep your pets safely with you!
