This month we celebrate Happy Cat Month!

Sometimes we forget that cats aren’t just small dogs, and they need a very different lifestyle than dogs.

It’s the final long weekend of summer! We are open tomorrow 9 am to 12:00 pm for phone calls and food/medication pick ups.

We hope you enjoy the days and we’ll see you back for regular hours on Tuesday, September 6th! Have fun and stay safe.

We’re near the end of August. Some people focus on squeezing the most out of the last weeks of summer, kids going back to school, and upcoming pumpkin-spiced everything!
Others are reminded daily of the ragweed season. Whether suffering through it themselves or seeing their dogs biting or scratching themselves, and rubbing on everything to relieve the itch.

There are medical options available to your pet - injectable and tablet - to help calm down their itchies. Gentle baths, omega 3 supplements, etc. may also help in the alleviation of allergies.

Please contact us if you have any questions on how to help your itchy pet!

Everyone say hi to Dougall! 👋 He’s a big 61kg boy that came to see us a few months ago for a pre-operative check up and some blood work. Like many pets - yes, even giant breeds like Dougall! - he was shy and didn’t care for too much having his blood taken.

Do you know what helped him feel at ease and allowed to us to work with him in a way that had everyone feeling good? SPRAY CHEESE!

Our clinic staff works to utilize Fear Free techniques to ensure your pet is comfortable with us. This includes how we speak & move, mats and blankets in exam rooms, frozen stuffed kongs, spray cheese on lick mats, an assortment of treats, anti-anxiolytics given at home prior to appointments, or rescheduling certain procedures if your pet is displaying fear, anxiety, or stress.

Whether your pet is a 1.8kg Chihuahua, a 61kg Great Dane, a 2.5kg Domestic Shorthair, or a 7.2kg Maine C**n - we will utilize tools and skills required to help you and your pet feel as much at ease as we can!

Hot days are here!

Remember to keep your pets at home during the hottest parts of the day. Take your dog for a walk earlier in the morning and later in the evening. Leave your pets home and NEVER alone in your car. Heat stroke is very serious.
Be sure to work on cooling your pet and calling your vet clinic if you’re worried your pet has overheated.

Please see the link below for tips for dealing with the heat:

There are some significant upcoming changes to entering the United States with your dog starting August 1st, 2024. Fortunately for us, Canada is not listed as a high-risk country to travel from.

The big changes for Canadians are that your dog MUST be microchipped and over 6 months of age. These are not negotiable.

If your dog is not already microchipped & you’re planning to enter the US, you’ll need to get them booked in for a microchip ahead of travel. Any rabies vaccine given BEFORE being microchipped will not count towards being truly vaccinated, according to the CDC.

Your dog doesn’t have to get a rabies booster after the microchip to enter the US, but they will consider them unvaccinated.

There is a form that needs to be completed, including your and your dog’s information. It needs a signature in pen (not electronic) from a veterinarian. These are to be booked as appointments as they take time to fill in. This form needs to be taken to the CFIA, by appointment, to be completed.

If your dog has been in a high risk country before entering the US there are more rules and you’ll need to research it thoroughly.

Please read through the CDC’s website & contact the CFIA to ensure your pet won’t be turned away!

We will be sending an email soon to further explain what you need to know.

Bruce is a lovely lady who came to see Dr Joy today to examine her teeth. She was also a delight for her nail trim.

If you have a pocket pet that needs checking up, don’t hesitate to give us a call to get in to see Dr Joy!

Today is National Hug Your Cat Day (if they want you to)!

As adorable as this day is, we also need to remember that animals don’t usually find hugs loving or relaxing. A good pet or scritch on the chin is sometimes better for everything involved!

And remember, tell your kitty that we say pspsps!

05/30/2024

It's nearly June 1st. Make sure to start your pup on their heartworm/flea/tick prevention if you haven't already!

Spring certainly came early this year! Please check your lawn before mowing to look out for rabbit nests. These babies are well hidden, so if you find them please leave them be. They won't be in the nest for long and will make their way into the world when they're big enough.

New floofs bring us such joy!
