🐕 Are you enjoying mild weather dog walking instead of shoveling snow? ❄ Ticks might be too! Milder winters (those with days above 4°C) have increased the geographic range of ticks and the length of tick season in Canada. 🗺 📈 📆 Outdoor cats may carry ticks and fleas and bring them into your home with the warmer weather too! 🐈🐈‍⬛ Call us about the tick preventatives available for your pet(s).

🦷🐾 February is Dental Awareness Month in the veterinary industry? Just like us, our furry friends need regular dental care to stay happy and healthy. Did you know that 80% of dogs and 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by age three (AVDC)? That’s why it’s essential to prioritize your pets oral health!

During this month let’s raise awareness about the importance of routine check ups with an oral exam and at home care, such as brushing their teeth and providing dental chews.

Keep your eye out for signs of dental problems: bad breath, red or swollen gums, difficultly eating, or excessive drooling. If you notice any of these, schedule a visit with us! 🪥
