Everyday should be Pet Day in our opinion, although we might be just a little bit biased! #NationalPetDay #PetDay

We all love Spring! It means the temperatures are warming up and the days are getting longer! It also means parasites start to rear their ugly heads! Ticks love this weather and immediately come out of dormancy and search for a host.....your pet or even you! Give us a call to discuss prevention options for your dog and even your cat. 905-438-0664

Ticks are nasty little creatures that can spread disease to your pet and also to you! Prevention is key in ensuring your pet doesn't get diseases such as Lyme Disease. We recommend starting prevention for your pet in March but if you haven't yet, it's never to late to start. With the warmer temperatures ticks are out of dormancy and will be looking for a host! Call us today and we will be happy to discuss the prevention options that would best suit the lifestyle of your pet!

Ticks are active in the fall. Whenever the temperature is over 0° C your dog could run into a questing tick. Ask your veterinarian for a #TickControl medication that will help keep your dog protected into the cool fall months.

Fall is a great time to play outside. Don’t forget that blacklegged ticks are still active into November. Ask your veterinarian for a #TickControl medication that will keep your dog protected.

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 your veterinarian about #FleaControl.

In most parts of Canada, the at-risk period for fleas is typically from May to October with #PeakFleaActivity occurring from early August to early October. In certain parts of the country, fleas can be a concern all year round. #fleacontrol

Adult blacklegged ticks are tiny, about the size of a sesame seed. These ticks hang out in fall leaves where your dog likes to play. Please call to discuss a #TickControl medication that will help protect your dog.

Blacklegged ticks can be found in fall leaves. Make sure your dog is on #TickControl medication this fall to remain protected from September to November. Blacklegged ticks are the ticks associated with #LymeDisease.
