Scratching is an instinctual feline behaviour, allowing them to naturally groom their nails, mark their territory and stretch their muscles. To prevent your cat from scratching furniture, provide them with a scratching post and train them how to use it.

Parked cars can quickly reach deadly temperatures, even with the windows open. If you can’t take your pet with you when you exit your car, leave them at home. If you see an animal in a hot car in distress, call 911 immediately. Learn more at ontario.ca/animalwelfare.

Cannabis affects the animal body differently than humans. In fact, ingesting cannabis can be dangerous for pets and could result in a medical crisis. If you think your pet ingested cannabis, take them to your veterinarian right away and tell them what happened - symptoms are varied and omitting this information can make managing your pet’s case difficult. Remember, your veterinarian only has your pet's health in mind.

It’s 🍫 and since 🎃 is also right around the corner as well, just a reminder that chocolate can be toxic to dogs. Make sure you keep your candy out of your pet's reach!

🍫 is one of the sweetest days of the year for humans. For your pet (especially your dog), it can be one of the most dangerous.

Chocolate toxicity is one of the most commonly treated toxicities in dogs, especially during the upcoming holiday season. Here's a look at which types of chocolate are the most toxic. Remember, if you think your pet may have gotten into some chocolate (of any kind), it's best to contact your veterinarian immediately.
