As temperatures rise, remember to keep your furry friends safe! Here are some essential tips:

🚗 Never leave pets in a parked car: Even a few minutes can be dangerous as temperatures inside can soar quickly.

🏠 Stay cool: Ensure your pets have access to shade, fresh water, and a cool place to rest.

💦 Hydration is key: Always have water available for your pets, especially during walks or outdoor activities.

Let’s keep our pets safe and comfortable during these hot days! If you have any concerns or need advice, feel free to contact us. Stay cool, everyone! 😎🐶🐱

We believe in the importance of keeping your furry friends safe and sound. Microchipping is a simple and effective way to ensure your pet can always find their way home. 🏡✨

🔍 Why Microchip?
- Permanent ID: Unlike collars and tags, microchips can't be lost or removed.
- Quick Reunions: If your pet gets lost, a quick scan can bring them back to you.
- Peace of Mind: Know that your beloved companion has an added layer of protection.

Don't wait until it's too late—protect your pet with a microchip today. Contact us to schedule an appointment! 📞🐶🐱

✈🐾 Important Update for Pet Owners! 🐾✈

Planning to travel to the US with your dog? 🐶 Make sure you're up-to-date with the new regulations set by the CDC to ensure a smooth trip.

After updates on July 17 and again on July 22, the CDC majorly relaxed the rules for dog owners regarding the requirements. At this moment, the following is the information we received:

1. Dogs must be 6 months or older.
2. Dogs must have a microchip that can be detected with a universal scanner to identify them – i.e. have an ISO microchip
3. Dogs must be healthy upon arrival.
4. Owners have to apply for CDC Dog Import Form online

No forms are needed from veterinarians and no need to go to CFIA for endorsement.

Even though a Rabies vaccine certificate was not mentioned in the requirement, we do recommend preparing a certificate of the current/valid Rabies vaccine. This was the basic requirement before the rule change, plus the reason for the new rules is to prevent Rabies disease to enter the U.S. In the event that the border does have concerns of the vaccine/Rabies status of your dog, having it on hand could prevent any unforeseen complications. Also, your dog will need proof of a valid Rabies vaccine to re-enter Canada.

We recommend checking the following websites for details and validity of the CDC permit before your departure:

CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/importation/dogs/
CFIA: https://inspection.canada.ca/en/animal-health/terrestrial-animals/exports/pets/dogs-usa
Dr. Scott Weese's (University of Guelph, Ontario Veterinary College) Blog for a quick summary: https://www.wormsandgermsblog.com/2024/07/articles/animals/dogs/moving-dogs-from-canada-to-the-us-another-major-change/

08/01/2024

🔍 What Are Microchips?🔍

Microchips are tiny, rice-sized devices implanted under your pet’s skin to provide a permanent ID. If your pet gets lost, a quick scan at any vet or shelter can reveal their unique code, ensuring they get back home safely. 🐾❤️

Want to learn more about the benefits of microchipping? Contact us today! Your pet’s safety is our top priority. 🐶🐱

🐾📢 Is your furry friend protected against Bordetella? 🐶✨

The Bordetella vaccine is essential for keeping your dog healthy and happy. Bordetella bronchiseptica is a bacteria that causes kennel cough, a highly contagious respiratory disease. Here’s why your pup needs it:

1. Prevents Kennel Cough: Shield your dog from a harsh, hacking cough that can lead to more serious complications.
2. Required for Boarding & Socializing: Most doggy daycares, boarding facilities, and groomers require it.
3. Peace of Mind: Protecting your dog means protecting other dogs they interact with, too!

Meet Oliver! He is up for adoption! This handsome, spunky guy had to be surrendered by his owners at our clinic. We usually don't take in pets for adoption, but we were left with little choice but to take him in. He's been with us for almost a week now and he's adjusting well to his new surroundings and friends. Some details about Oliver: - He's a brown & white neutered male tabby and his previous owners suspect him to be around 8-9 years old - He loves to watch the Aquarium Channel on his spare time - He is super affectionate and loving, is a sweet lovebug that purrs like a lawnmower once he's acclimated to his new surroundings - Will do well in a household with no other pets and with owners who have had previous experience with anxious cats or have the patience to work with him while he transitions into his new home - Highly food-motivated 😋 If you know of anyone who is interested or would like to take him to him to his furrever home, please send us a DM on any one of our socials or send us a quick blurb about yourself to our email at [email protected]! Please tag & share your friends & family so we can get this little man a home by the holidays!

Our scarily good setup!

Stay spooky friends! As you celebrate Halloween please watch out for your pets. Make sure they are in a safe room away from the door to prevent escapes! Make sure your pets are microchipped and traceable! Human treats are not acceptable for our furry friends- chocolate, raisins, grapes are all toxic! As cute as they look in costumes, ensure that your pets are not able to harm themselves or others in their costume. Loose threads, tight elastics, thick material, panting, and emotional distress are all signs to take the costume off immediately! Enjoy your holiday and stay safe! 🎃👻🌙🌕 #donvalleyanimalhospital #torontoanimalhospital #torontovetclinic #puppy #kitten #cat #dog #pet #petsofinstagram #torontodogs #torontocats #torontodogsofinstagram #torontocatsofinstagram #halloween #spooky
