One of our patients had a few 🤢 friends tagging along today. It’s still warm enough for ticks to be active so make sure you are continuing your preventative medication this month!
Jumping into the week like Oakley

Giving rewards to all our new puppies during their appointments helps make coming to the vet fun and stress free. Even things that seem small - like standing on a table - are important skills for a puppy at the vet and treats help us reward this good behaviour. Auggie loves her wet food and was so brave for her appointment!

What a way to end the day, with Quinn and her non-stop wagging tail!
One of the most rewarding parts of our job is getting to see patients and their families through all the stages of their lives. In Quinn’s case her family was finally ready to open their hearts and home to a new puppy after losing their senior Lab. To be trusted with the next generation in your family is always a joy for us.

We know that even after getting used to months of curbside visits it’s still hard to wait in your car while your fur baby comes into the clinic without you. But as you can see from Mika and Dr. Warren we always make sure your pet gets love, reassurance and great care!

Look at Findlay go! Findlay has had a long road to recovery after an accident in June when he dislocated both his hips. We proceeded to do hip surgery (a femoral head ostectomy) to alleviate his pain. However, needing surgery on both legs simultaneously meant he needed long term physiotherapy and rehabilitation to regain his strength. The team at @soarvetservices has done an amazing job helping to get him to this point with his water treadmill workouts and stability exercises!

One of our goals is to make every visit a happy, positive experience for your pet. You can see that Tyson is perfectly comfortable getting his vaccines (he actually doesn’t even notice) because Dr. Warren is directing his attention to a delicious treat. This is called positive reinforcement - giving a reward (food or otherwise) when performing a behaviour we’re looking for (standing calmly and getting vaccines). Can you believe Tyson is only 4 months old and he’s already so good at this!
Get out those rewards 🎾🥏🦴and try practicing positive reinforcement at home for nail trims, or handling sensitive areas like the ears/feet/tail.

It’s always nice to have a buddy for moral support when you visit the doctor. Luckily for Teddy his brother Bear came along for the ride 🐭

Helmet might have started on a farm, but he’s decided being worshiped by suburban humans is much more his style. Check out those little paws kneading the air he’s so happy 🐾
Nose boop Monday’s! Snickers hopes you have a great week 🙌

What a day for Dr Warren and Katie - they got to meet Harper (Great Pyrenees) and Tequila (German Shepherd) - who seem to really love their puppy pate. All you new puppy owners, don’t forget to come in for positive social visits!! As well, we are so proud of all of our high-school graduates. Katie is on her way to Guelph next year. Congrats Katie. #puppiesofinstagram #pupplove #puppysocialization #weloveourjob #oakvillepuppies #oakvillevet #kerrvillage #congratshighschoolgrad
Those ears you could almost mop the floor with! Those wrinkles! That little wagging tail! We fell in love with everything about Kiki the baby Basset Hound 💕💕
PARASITES - Protect your pet (and yourself)! If this video gives you the creepy crawlies you’re not alone! Ticks are a parasite we see frequently and this tick was actually found on a client 🙈! The good news is dog and cat heartworm and tick prevention protects against both ticks AND ear mites!
Don’t forget to pick up your pets protection for the season! 🦟
