Today is National Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day, so here's some important information to keep in mind about Canine Lymphoma! 🐾

It's important to check your dog frequently and get them to the doctor if you notice any changes in order to find a treatment plan quickly. 🩺

Good morning!

We at Doghouse Grooming Salon are asking if anyone has any old or unwanted towels they would like to pass onto us.

We are also looking for gently used dog toys to help fill up our dog treasure chest. These toys help calm dogs during their grooms and we love watching doggies choose their own treasure before leaving. It is a wonderful postive way to say "you did great!"

As a token of thank you and appreciation we are happy to provide a free nail trim or 5% off your next Grooming service.

Have a great day!

🦠There have been 2 cases of Canine Leptospirosis in the Halifax area this week.🦠
When we start hearing this kind of news, it makes it extra important to talk about it.

"Lepto" is a bacterial disease that can be contracted by both canines and humans through the consumption of infected urine. Sounds gross right? Why would you or your dog ever ingest wildlife's urine? It's easier then you think... Wildlife carrying the bacteria such as deer, raccoons, or rodents urinating into stagnant water is the main culprit. This means your dog can come into contact with Lepto simply by drinking from a puddle or even by eating wet grass that was recently urinated on by infected wildlife. Yuck!

Lepto can survive for weeks to months in the environment. Heavy rainfall can exacerbate its spread and since 2023 has been an extremely wet year with tons of heavy rainfall, that makes it an ideal year for Lepto - as it thrives in thrives in warm, wet environments.

So what does Lepto do to your dog and how can you tell? Lepto primarily affects the liver and kidneys, which can ultimately result in life-threatening conditions.

Common clinical signs (which may vary in severity) are as follows:
🦠 Fever
🦠 Decreased appetite
🦠 Vomiting
🦠 Diarrhea
🦠 Increased thirst and urination
🦠 Lethargy or weakness
🦠 Stiffness and soreness
🦠 Dehydration
🦠 Yellowing of the eyes or gums
🦠 Small bleeding under the skin
🦠 Redness in the eyes
🦠 Rapid or difficulty breathing

If you notice any of these signs in your dog contact your vet team immediately to schedule an appointment. Whether it's Lepto or not, your dog needs to be assessed.

No matter where you live, we share our home with wildlife on a daily basis. Be aware of where you go for walks and if you feel your lifestyle puts your dog at risk, the best way to protect your dogs is to vaccinate annually.

Did you know....

*dental cleaning starts at the age of 2

*smelling bad breath? That is a sign.

*they do cat teeth too?

* 1 in every 3 dogs have dental disease

*80 % of dogs and 70 % of cats have dental disease by 3 years of age.

*1 in 3 pet owners think bad breath is normal in pets, 1 in 3 pets have dental disease.

*severe dental disease and infection can cause harm to the body's organs, and cause heart disease.

*Small dog breeds, including the Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Yorkshire Terrier and many other toy breeds, tend to be prone to periodontal disease.

*Pets don’t tell us when their teeth hurt, animals actually hide the signs of illness or weakness

*Early stages of the disease can be reversed through regular dental care; later stages are irreversible and can lead to serious health problems, including damage to the liver, kidney and heart.


There are 6 signs of Dental Disease in pets to watch for:

🦷Bad breath

🦷Red gums

🦷Discoloured teeth with brown tartar along gum line

🦷Receding gum line

🦷Pawing at mouth

🦷Difficulty chewing kibble

🦷Bloody tinge left on toys, bones and chew items
