Ever wondered if you should microchip your pet? 🐶🐱

Here’s why it’s one of the best things you can do for their safety:

✨ Permanent ID – Unlike collars or tags, a microchip won’t fall off or fade.
📍 Quick Reunions – If your pet ever goes missing, shelters and vets can scan the chip and contact you directly.
💉 Simple + Safe – It’s a quick procedure that lasts a lifetime.

A microchip can’t prevent your pet from getting lost, but it can help bring them home. 🏡💗

📅 Ask us about microchipping at your next appointment!

Say hello to Emily! 🐾

We are so excited to introduce one of our adorable new patients, sweet little Emily! She first visited us about a month ago for her puppy vaccinations with Dr. Teal, and from the moment she came through our doors, she charmed everyone with her wiggly tail and bright, curious eyes.

During her appointment, Emily showed just how brave she is. She sat like a perfect little lady, soaked up plenty of snuggles from our team, and handled her vaccines like an absolute superstar! 💪🐶 We couldn’t have asked for a better patient.

Vaccines are an important part of every puppy’s journey to a healthy, happy life. They help protect against a variety of serious (and preventable) diseases, giving your furry friend the best start possible. Emily’s visit was a great reminder that even though vet appointments can be a little scary for young pups, a little love, patience, and a few treats can turn them into a positive experience. 🦴💖

We’re so proud of Emily and can’t wait to see her again for future visits, and, of course, to get more puppy cuddles! 🐕✨

📅 Is your puppy or kitten due for vaccines? Give us a call today to book your appointment and help keep your furry family member healthy and protected.

Thank you for your review!⭐️

We are truly grateful for the kind words and continued trust in our team. Providing compassionate, high-quality care in a calm and supportive environment is always our goal.
.. and we couldn’t agree more, extra treats should be given just for being cute! 🐾
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your pet’s healthcare journey.

🐱 Fun Fact Friday: Sphynx Cats! 🐾

💈 Not Actually Bald: Sphynx cats have a fine layer of fuzz — like velvet! They may look hairless, but they’re more peach than polished.

🌡️ Hot Stuff: Their skin is warmer to the touch than other cats because they lack an insulating coat. Don’t be surprised if they seek out your lap, a heater, or a sunny window — they love to stay toasty!

🧼 Spa Day, Every Day: Their skin produces oils just like any other cat, but without fur to absorb it, they need regular baths to keep them clean and healthy.

🐱All the Wrinkles, All the Personality: Sphynx cats are known for their energetic, curious, and affectionate personalities. Many owners describe them as part-cat, part-dog, and part-monkey!

👕 Yes, They Wear Sweaters: And they rock them. Because they get chilly easily, you’ll often see these fashionistas bundled up in cute outfits to stay cozy.

👃 Not Hypoallergenic: Despite the lack of fur, Sphynx cats still produce the same allergenic proteins (like Fel d 1) found in saliva and skin oils, so they’re not a perfect match for allergy sufferers.

Have you ever cuddled a Sphynx? They feel like warm suede and act like little comedians. Share your experiences or photos below! 🐾

🐾 Staff Pet Feature: Meet Jughead!

Say hello to Jughead, the adorable and resilient pup who belongs to Kierstyn, one of our amazing Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs)! Kierstyn adopted Jughead while she was in college, and he’s been her loyal sidekick ever since.

Jughead’s journey hasn’t been an easy one, but it’s what makes him so special. When he first arrived at the college, both of his hind legs were broken, and he was unable to walk. He would drag himself using only his front legs, which led to hyperflexion of his carpus and trauma to his humerus, ultimately causing one of his front legs to be shorter than the other.

Despite it all, Jughead has never let his past slow him down. He’s full of s***k, sweetness, and personality.💙

Ohh, sweet Simon! 💙

This absolutely adorable guy came to visit us about a month ago for some routine bloodwork. When it was time to get started, Simon decided he’d be much more comfortable in the lap of our wonderful veterinary assistant, Abbey.

He laid there like the perfect little gentleman, soaking up all the love and attention while Abbey worked her magic. We’re pretty sure Simon thought it was more of a cuddle appointment than a medical one, and honestly, we weren’t complaining!

At Glenridge Animal Hospital, we love creating a space where pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Simon reminded us that sometimes, the best medicine is a warm lap and a few extra snuggles. 🐾💛

If your pet is due for a check-up, vaccinations, or even just some TLC during their visit, give us a call to book an appointment, we’d love to see you both!

🐶🌍 Happy International Dog Day! 🌍🐶

Today we celebrate our loyal companions, goofy sidekicks, and four-legged best friends—the dogs who make our lives whole ❤️

Whether they’re wagging their tails at the door, offering cuddles on a bad day, or just being their goofy, lovable selves, dogs have an incredible way of bringing joy, comfort, and unconditional love into our lives.

In honour of our canine companions, here are a few fun dog facts you might not know:

🐕 Dogs have about 300 million scent receptors in their noses (compared to about 5 million in humans!)—they truly see the world through smell.

🐾 Each dog’s nose print is unique, just like a human fingerprint.

🧠 The average dog is as smart as a 2–3-year-old child and can understand up to 250 words or gestures.

🐶 Puppies are born deaf, blind, and toothless, but grow incredibly fast during the first few months of life!

💛 Dogs are known to improve mental health, reduce stress, and even lower blood pressure, they’re truly little wellness heroes.

Whether you’ve got a senior soul dog, a rowdy puppy, or a rescue who stole your heart, today is all about them.

🐾 Drop a photo of your pup below and tell us what makes them special, we’d love to celebrate with you!
