Warmer temps are here! It’s time to protect your dog from fleas, ticks and heartworm! 🪲🌞

Heartworm disease is a serious, potentially fatal condition that is spread by mosquitos. 🦟

✨Annual testing and monthly prevention are the key to keeping your dog safe!✨

Heartworm prevention shouldn’t break the bank and this year we’re offering even bigger savings, including a free heartworm test with purchase of select prevention! ❤️‍🩹

Stay proactive and protect your pup today! Call our clinic for more details! 🤗

Don’t forget, purchasing prevention from your vet helps support local and Canadian 🇨🇦 businesses!

With the ongoing rise in living expenses, we understand that pet care can be costly and that when emergencies arise, it can be hard to budget and plan! 💸 To help ease these financial burdens, we offer a variety of payment plans and programs designed to help our clients.

1) Affirm: is a service that allows you to break up your expenses into smaller payments. In order to utilize this program and determine your eligibility, we ask that you call ahead to one of our clinics and let us help you get started with the application process!

2) Scratchpay is a service that helps pet owners pay for veterinary care by offering flexible payments. In order to utilize this program and determine your eligibility, we ask that you call ahead to one of our clinics and let us help you get started with the application process!

3) The Farley Foundation is a charitable organization that partners with veterinarians and clinics that are OVMA members. Funding is limited by the foundation per year and applicable clinics only receive a select amount of funding for that total year. How Farley Foundation works is by subsidizing the cost of non-elective veterinary care (such as surgery, including some dental, hospitalization and diagnostics). Routine exams, vaccines and procedures are not covered by this organization. Applications can only be submitted by a vet and to be considered, you must have an existing relationship with your vet prior to applying. For more information, please contact your veterinarian or visit https://www.farleyfoundation.org/

3b) Additionally, the Farley Foundation is offering a new program this year if you do not have a working relationship with a veterinarian. You may be eligible for Farley’s “Pets to the Vets” program, which helps low income pets establish a relationship with a vet by subsidizing the cost of an initial exam and vaccines.

4) Our Zoey/Buddy Fund was generously started by a long time client and is solely funded through donations we receive each year from events, staff members and other clients that selflessly donated towards the fund. We are so grateful to be able to offer this option to existing clients in special circumstances when emergencies arise!❤️‍🩹

We work diligently to be able to provide different options to all of our clients to suit their individual financial budgets and needs. As always, our main goal is to provide our clients and their pets with the gold standard of care.

Please do not hesitate to contact our clinics should you have any further questions!

Have you heard that we offer Hybrid appointments?🤔

With the ongoing demand in the industry, we are so thrilled to be able to offer this brand new service: Hybrid-Telemedicine Appointments!😱😱😱

How do these appointments work? You’ll arrive at our clinic with your pet for your appointment and be accompanied by one of our specially trained Registered Veterinary Technicians in the exam room while Dr. Cathy will attend the appointment via video chat💻 Our RVTs will complete the physical exam for your pet and assist Dr. Cathy with any diagnostics or treatments!! You won’t even notice she’s not in the room; there are no limitations to these appointments!🥳

A little about Dr. Cathy: Dr. Cathy has worked as a small animal veterinarian for 31 years! She owned and operated a practice in Caledon, ON for 25 years. After selling her practice, Dr. Cathy operated a 24 hour emergency clinic where she gained valuable urgent care experience before retiring 3 years ago to begin practicing virtual medicine.🩺

Dr. Cathy is available for appointments NOW, exclusively at our Birch Lane location🙌🏼
