Our very own Daphne gets the Solensia injection monthly for pain management for her osteoarthritis.
We notice that she’s a lot more active and spunky when she gets the injection and is more sassy than ever!
We are happy to help you and your cat manage their pain of osteoarthritis. Give us a call to book an appointment with one of our veterinarians and ask about Solensia and other options.
Did you know that there are certain toys that are really good enrichment for your pets?
This is Alvin and Theodore. One of our receptionists Ashley’s two cats, scooping their dental kibble out of their Royal Canin puzzle with their paws. 🐾 . They are very food motivated and love a challenge, so this is one of the many ways she keeps them entertained. Enrichment puzzles are really good for both dogs and cats. Especially those who need a little extra time keeping their brains busy.
This good boy is Baxter 🥰 He is a @bcandalbertaguidedogs and he came today for his Neuter. Doesn’t he look so cozy and warm ?
Heatwave Warning! It's getting hot out there!
Keep pets safe in the heat with these tips:
- Plan ahead and NEVER LEAVE YOUR PETS IN A PARKED CAR
Not even for a minute! Not even with the car running and air conditioner on. On a warm day, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise rapidly to dangerous levels. It's not worth it!
- Limit exercise on hot days
Adjust intensity and duration of exercise in accordance with the temperature. On very hot days, limit exercise to early morning or evening hours. Protect their paws, they are very sensitive. Walk your dog on the grass if possible. Always carry water with you to keep your dog from dehydrating.
- Provide ample shade and water
Any time your pet is outside, make sure they have protection from heat and sun and plenty of fresh, cold water. In heat waves, add ice to water when possible. Tree shade and tarps are ideal because they don't obstruct air flow. A doghouse does not provide relief from heat—in fact, it makes it worse.
- Cool your pet inside and out
Whip up a batch of quick and easy DIY frozen treats for dogs (we'll share some DYI recipes on our stories). And always provide water, whether your pets are inside or out with you.
Keep your pet from overheating indoors or out with a cooling body wrap, vest or mat. Soak these products in cool water, and they'll stay cool. If your dog doesn't find baths stressful, see if they enjoy a cooling soak or a swim in a lake or a plastic pool.
- Watch for signs of heatstroke:
Excessive panting, excessive drooling, difficulty breathing, vomiting, diarrhea (with or without blood), weakness, incoordination or stumbling, sudden collapse, seizures
If your pet is experiencing signs of heat stroke, contact your nearest 24/7 Emergency hospital:
Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital (Surrey) (604) 514-8383
Animal Emergency Clinic of the Fraser Valley (Langley) (604) 514-1711
Canada West Veterinary Specialists (Vancouver) (604) 473-4882
