June is Brain Awareness Month! 🧠 Dogs can suffer from cognitive dysfunction just like humans.

Diagnosis and diet can help! DISHAA is a tool to help you and your veterinarian assess the mental acuity of your dog, and for your veterinarian to potentially diagnose Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS).

If you have concerns over your pets' brain health, please book a consult with your veterinarian. 🐕🐈

Sniff Out Arthritis PAIN…and Stop it in its Tracks! 🐾 #arthritisawareness #arthritisindogs #arthritisawarenessmonth #petarthritis #petarthritisawareness #librela #arthritisrelief #painrelieffordogs

Help Your Cat Get Back to Their “Normal” 🐈 Cats hide almost everything, especially pain. But if your cat is dealing with osteoarthritis (OA) pain, you’ve probably noticed changes in their everyday behavior. Things like jumping, climbing stairs, and even playing might not be so easy for them. #arthritisawareness #arthritisawarenessmonth #petarthritis #catarthritis #solensia #petarthritisawarenessmonth

Week 3 - Introduce a Toothbrush

Week 3 is Introduce a Toothbrush! 🦷 Introduce the toothbrush to your pet by putting some toothpaste on the bristles. 🦷 If your pet will allow it, try softly brushing their front teeth. Begin to handle their muzzle. 🦷 Stop when your pet has had enough, you want each session to be positive! Thanks for watching, stay tuned for Week 4 - Brushing Teeth!

Week 2 - Finger Brushing

Week 2 is Finger Brushing! 🦷 Start by putting a small amount of toothpaste on your finger tip and brushing your pet’s teeth. 🦷 Get them used to having their muzzle handled by holding it gently as you brush. 🦷 If your pet is saying no, end the session on a positive note with encouragement, some treats, and try again tomorrow! Thanks for watching, stay tuned for Week 3 - Introduce a Toothbrush!

Week 1 - Introducing Toothpaste

February is dental health month! We’ve made a four week series about brushing your pet’s teeth. Week 1 is Introducing Toothpaste! 🦷 Ensure you are using a pet friendly toothpaste in a flavour you think they will enjoy. 🦷 Make the experience positive by offering it as a treat to get your pet used to the taste. 🦷 Encouragement goes a long way, especially with a tasty treat! Thanks for watching, stay tuned for Week 2 - Finger Brushing!

Quill removal with sedation, in super speed

Porcupines and dogs are a bad combination. We have been seeing dogs for porcupine quill removal almost every day! When a dog comes in for quill removal, we give them an injectable sedative to allow us to remove the quills without pain or distress to the patient. The sooner we see them, the quicker and less complicated this procedure. When quills are broken off beneath the skin, they have the potential to migrate and cause serious issues. If your dog encounters a porcupine, we encourage you to come in as soon as possible so we can remove the quills and limit pain and complications in your pet.

Who needs a daily dose of cute kittens!? Each of these kittens had their surgery in the morning and by the afternoon they were happy and playful while waiting for their families to pick them up! Providing adequate pain control is critical to our pets. We take every step to ensure your furry family member is monitored closely and stays comfortable throughout their day with us. Signs of pain in cats include hiding, sitting hunched up, vocalizing, inappetence, restlessness or aggression. We wish these two a speedy recovery and look forward to watching them grow!

Ear Mites

What do you see!? 🐛 These creepy crawlers are ear mites “Otodectes cynotis” which can infect both cats and dogs. Infection leads to intense ear scratching, head shaking and coffee grounds-like discharge from the ears. Left untreated affected animals can develop severe bacterial infections.
