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! 🌟

Ear Infections in Dogs 🐾

Did you know that regular ear cleanings can help prevent painful ear infections in dogs?
Certain breeds are more prone to ear issues due to floppy ears, allergies, or frequent swimming, making consistent ear care especially important!

A gentle ear cleaning routine helps remove excess wax, debris, and moisture that can otherwise lead to infection. If you ever notice redness, odour, discharge, or your dog scratching or shaking their head more than usual, it’s best to book an appointment with one of our veterinarians.

About a month ago, sweet Kumara came in for an ear infection, and she did absolutely amazing for her exam and cleaning! 💕 She was calm, patient, and we’re so proud of her!

Keeping up with regular ear care can make a big difference in your dog’s comfort and health. If you’re unsure how to properly clean your dog’s ears or need recommendations on products, our team is always happy to help, just give us a call! 🐶💛

🇨🇦 Remembrance Day

Today, we come together as a community to honour and remember those who served, the brave individuals who stood for courage, sacrifice, and peace.

Their stories remind us of the strength found in unity, compassion, and gratitude. As we wear our poppies and pause for a moment of silence, may we reflect not only on their service, but on the values they fought to protect: kindness, freedom, and hope for a better tomorrow.

Let us remember them, always.
Lest we forget. ❤️

Meet Bojack!

Our pal Bojack the guinea pig came in last month for his check-up with Dr. Rachel, and he passed with flying colours! 🩺💚

This handsome little guy was the picture of health and charm, stealing hearts (and a few treats) along the way. 🥕✨

We love seeing our small but mighty patients like Bojack thriving and living their best piggy lives! 💕🐹

Today is Canine Lymphoma Awareness Day 🐾

What is lymphoma?
Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system that can affect dogs of any breed or age, though it’s most common in middle-aged to older dogs. It often begins in the lymph nodes, but can also involve organs like the spleen, liver, or bone marrow.

Common signs to watch for:
🐶 Enlarged lymph nodes (often felt under the jaw or behind the knees)
🥺 Lethargy or decreased energy
🍽️ Loss of appetite or weight loss
🤢 Vomiting, diarrhea, or increased thirst/urination
💨 Difficulty breathing or coughing

Because these signs can be subtle at first, early detection is key. Dogs are experts at hiding discomfort, which is why annual (or semi-annual) wellness exams are so important. They allow the veterinarian to detect changes early, often before symptoms become noticeable at home.

Today, we honour the dogs and families touched by lymphoma, and we remind every pet parent that routine checkups truly can save lives.

Remember Zeppelin? 🐾
Take a look to see how this sweet boy has grown! 😍

At now 7 months old, we can’t get over how fluffy, gentle, and handsome he’s become (though he’s been a little heart-stealer from the very beginning!). 💕

Watching our patients grow and thrive is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. From their first visit to routine check-ups, we take pride in supporting their health, happiness, and overall well-being.

Thank you to Zeppelin’s family for trusting us with his care, it’s always a joy to see him! ❤️
