Our first donation bin filled up so quickly, and we are truly blown away by the generosity of our community! 🌟

We are still collecting non-perishable food items for Community Care until December 22nd. Thanks to your kindness, our first bin has already been picked up, and our second one is now in place!

The final bin pickup will be on December 23rd, so there’s still plenty of time to drop off donations and help support local families during the holiday season. ❤️🥫

Another reminder that we are still collecting new, unwrapped toys until December 13th!

Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Did you know? Ticks don’t just come out in the summer, they can actually remain active anytime the temperature is 0°C or above! ❄️

That means even during mild winter days, your pet could still be at risk of tick bites and the diseases they carry, such as Lyme disease, Ehrlichia and Anaplasmosis.

Keeping your pet on year-round flea and tick prevention is the best way to ensure they stay protected no matter the season. Regular checks after walks and outdoor playtime are also a great habit to catch any unwanted hitchhikers early! 🐶🐱

👉 Not sure if your pet’s protected? Give us a call or send us a message today to chat about the best year-round flea and tick prevention plan for your furry friend!

🐾 Could Your Dog Have Cushing’s Disease?

Cushing’s disease (also known as hyperadrenocorticism) occurs when a dog’s body produces too much cortisol, the “stress hormone” that affects metabolism, immune health, and more. It’s a slowly developing condition, which means the signs can be easy to miss at first.

Here are 8 common signs of Cushing’s disease in dogs 👇
1️⃣ Increased thirst and urination
2️⃣ Increased appetite
3️⃣ Excessive panting (even at rest)
4️⃣ Pot-bellied appearance
5️⃣ Thinning hair coat or hair loss
6️⃣ Thin or fragile skin
7️⃣ Lethargy or muscle weakness
8️⃣ Recurrent skin or urinary infections

Because these symptoms can mimic normal aging or other illnesses, diagnostic testing is key to confirm Cushing’s disease early.

💬 If you’ve noticed any of these changes in your dog, feel free to give us a call or book an appointment today. Early detection can make a big difference in your pet’s comfort and quality of life! ❤️🐶

At Glenridge, our mission is always the same: to make every patient feel safe, relaxed, and truly cared for during their visit. ❤️ We know that coming to the hospital can sometimes be stressful. Thats why our team is dedicated to create a calm, welcoming environment where tails wag and paws feel at ease.

Brady is the perfect example of why we do what we do! 🐾 This sweet, charming boy never hesitates to make himself right at home, whether that’s sunbathing in our entrance or simply soaking up all the love and attention from our team. Watching him so happy and comfortable reminds us every day why creating a stress-free, nurturing space for our furry friends is so important.

Every visit with patients like Brady reinforces our commitment to compassionate care and makes our hearts a little fuller. We’re so lucky to have these moments that show just how much comfort, love, and happiness can be shared in our hospital walls! 🐶💛

We're back with Fun Fact Friday!🐦

Let’s talk about one of the smartest birds around, the African Grey Parrot!

🌍 Origin: These brilliant birds are native to the rainforests of Central and West Africa. There are actually two types: the Congo African Grey (with bright red tails) and the Timneh African Grey (with darker tails and slightly smaller size).

🧠 Incredible Intelligence: African Greys are often compared to 5-year-old children in intelligence! They can learn hundreds of words, recognize shapes and colours, and even understand concepts like numbers.

💬 Masters of Mimicry: Their ability to mimic human voices and household sounds is legendary: phones, microwaves, even laughter! They don’t just copy; they often use words in the right context.

❤️ Emotional Connection: These parrots form strong bonds with their humans and can sense emotions. They may talk more when you’re cheerful and act quiet or concerned when you’re upset.

⏳ Long Lifespan: With proper care, African Greys can live 50 years or more, that’s a lifelong feathered friend!

🥦 Healthy Habits: They thrive on a balanced diet of pellets, fruits, and veggies, and love mental stimulation through puzzles and foraging toys!

Truly, African Greys aren’t just pets: they’re tiny, talking geniuses with feathers! 💡🪶

Say hello to Clover! 🍀

This gorgeous girl came in to visit us about a month ago for her kennel cough vaccine and pre-anesthetic bloodwork, and she did absolutely amazing! 💚

Pre-anesthetic bloodwork is an important step before any procedure, as it helps us check how your pet’s organs are functioning and ensure they’re healthy enough to safely undergo anesthesia. It can also detect any underlying issues that might not be visible during a physical exam, allowing our team to tailor anesthesia and care to your pet’s individual needs.

We’re so proud of Clover for being such a star patient during her visit! 🌟
