It’s Adopt-a-Less-Adoptable-Pet Week, and we all know we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover - it’s what’s on the inside that counts!
The physical, behavioral, or medical reasons that a pet hasn’t been adopted yet may be a result of a traumatic or difficult past. These pets are the ones who need safe, loving homes the most!
😆 Do you think this cat is pretending to be a janitor, on a battleship, or does she have another agenda?

Happy Saturday 🐾
Their grey hair may be obvious, but their pain may not be.
As our pets enter their golden years, they often hide their pain, making it crucial to stay vigilant.
September is "Animal Pain Awareness Month," a reminder to ensure our senior pets are comfortable and happy.
Here is how to spot discomfort in your senior pet:
• Decreased activity and interest in play.
• Trouble with stairs or jumping.
• Decreased appetite.
• Over grooming or licking the same spot.
Notice any signs? Make an appointment with us to keep your pet comfortable and joyful. https://www.algonquinanimalhospital.ca/
Kittens are irresistibly cute with their tiny eyes, wispy fur, and playful antics. However, their first year requires patience, dedication, and understanding of feline development. Like human babies, kittens go through specific stages needing different care levels. Preparing for these milestones will help you raise a strong, healthy, and happy cat🐈⬛❤️

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 https://www.algonquinanimalhospital.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.

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
