📣 🦠 Kennel cough season is upon us.
We’ve seen a rise in kennel cough cases lately and this highly contagious cough can spread quickly anywhere dogs gather—like boarding facilities, grooming salons and dog parks.

Here’s some tips on how you can help protect your pup:

💉 Make sure their Bordetella vaccine is up to date
🐕 Avoid close contact with other dogs, or crowded dog areas for now.
🤧 Keep your dog home if they’re showing signs like coughing, gagging, or nasal discharge
☎️ Call us if you notice symptoms—most dogs recover well with supportive care, but early attention helps prevent complications
🚙 If you are bringing your dog to the vet for suspected kennel cough, please wait in your car and let the team know you have arrived

If your dog starts coughing or seems off, give us a call 905 885 5321

⚠️ Parvo Virus

🐾 What is Parvo?

Parvo (Canine Parvovirus) is one of the most serious — and preventable — illnesses we see in dogs, especially puppies.

🐾 What You Need to Know About Parvo

🦠Highly Contagious: Parvo spreads through infected p**p, contaminated surfaces, and even on shoes or clothing and can live in the environment for months, even years.
🥺 Puppies Are Most at Risk: Unvaccinated puppies between 6 weeks and 6 months old are especially vulnerable.
⚠️ Symptoms: Severe vomiting, Bloody or foul-smelling diarrhea, Loss of appetite, Lethargy and weakness, Dehydration , Rapid weight loss

‼️Prevention:

💉 Vaccinate your puppy & keep boosters up to date
🐕 Avoid high-risk areas (dog parks, public spaces) until fully vaccinated
🧼 Wash hands, shoes, and clothing after contact with unknown dogs. Clean contaminated areas with a bleach solution (most cleaners do not kill parvo).

👉 Parvo can be deadly, but with quick veterinary care and proper vaccination, it can be prevented and managed. Always seek immediate help from your vet if you notice symptoms. 🧡

Halloween is just about a couple days away and while you enjoy all the spooky festivity’s don't forget to keep chocolate & candy out of reach from your pets! 🍬 🍫

Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to both dogs and cats. Even small amounts can cause vomiting, diarrhea, rapid heart rate, seizures, and in severe cases, can be fatal.
Dark chocolate and baking chocolate are especially dangerous!

What to do if your pet eats chocolate? 🍫

📞 Contact our team or the Pet Poison Helpline
(905-885-5321) immediately.
Keep those trick or treat baskets pet-safe, and enjoy your Halloween! 🎃 🐕 🐈‍⬛

Phoenix’s Story Could Help Save a Life 🐶🧡

Meet Phoenix, a 4 year-old labourer Dog (with the sweetest face) who recently came to us with a life-threatening infection called pyometra — a serious uterine infection that affects unspayed female dogs.

Thankfully, her family acted fast & Phoenix underwent emergency surgery at our clinic and is now home recovering well with her family. But not all dogs are so lucky — recognizing the signs early can save lives.

Symptoms of Pyometra to Watch For:

⚠️ Vaginal discharge (pus-like, smelly)
⚠️ Lethargy or low energy
⚠️ Loss of appetite
⚠️ Swollen, painful belly
⚠️ Increased thirst & urination
⚠️ Fever & Vomiting

If your dog is intact (not spayed) and showing any of these symptoms, don’t wait — pyometra is an emergency.

Meet Caroline! 🐾
Caroline has been with us since our opening days. After making the jump from general practice to emerg medicine, she has been loving it ever since. She is honoured to recently accept the position of RVT supervisor. She strives in promoting a positive atmosphere and enjoys nursing care.

Prior to vet med, Caroline used to be a competitive snowboarder. She travelled all over the world for races and even trained in Chile for a month! This later led to her passion of becoming a Certified Companion Animal Physical Rehabilitator once she graduated tech school.

Outside of work, you can find her busy working on her homestead with her husband. They share their home with two cane corso dogs Denali and Denver, Franklin (cat), Ned and Donna (goats), honeybees, and now chickens!
