Attention Pet Guardians! 🌟🐶🐱
We are excited to invite you to our Vaccine Titre Blitz on Saturday, May 3rd, 2025! This is a fantastic opportunity for your furry companions to receive comprehensive Vaccine Titre testing at a discounted rate. Ensure your pets’ immunity is strong and their health is prioritized. Spaces are limited, so register now to secure your spot!
🐾
This event offers discounted Vaccine Titre testing for dogs and cats to assess immunity levels for core vaccines and determine if booster shots are needed.

*Core Vaccines for dogs include Distemper, Parvo virus, Adeno virus /Hepatitis, (often abbreviated as DAP or DHP) and Rabies. 🐕

*Core Vaccines for cats include Feline Rhinotracheitis (Feline Herpesvirus-1), Calici virus and Panleukopenia (often abbreviated as FVRCP) and Rabies. 🐈‍⬛

In addition to vaccine titre testing, we are also offering additional wellness lab testing to provide a comprehensive assessment of your pet’s overall health. We, at TIAH, are so committed to reducing unnecessary vaccination that our regular Core Vaccine Titre fees are significantly lower than the fees offered by the major labs Antech and Idexx where most clinics send their titre tests. We cut out the middleman and deal directly with Kansas State University Diagnostic Lab, the foremost accredited Rabies Titre lab in North America.
🐾
Spaces are limited, so registration is encouraged. For more details, contact TIAH at (416) 651-1261 or [email protected]. Register online also. See stories for link.

Regenerative Medicine is a service available at TIAH. Regenerative Medicine is when the animal’s own mesenchymal stem cells is used to treat the degeneration and inflammation of osteoarthritic joints and injured tendons and it may seem like a science fiction story! 🧑‍🔬🧪
🐾
However, it is a scientifically validated intervention that is now undergoing clinical trials for people after more than 17,000 treatments in 30 different species of animals.

Has your dog 🐶 been exposed to ticks? A simple blood 🩸 test can screen for six different pathogens
spread by ticks and mosquitoes. We use to detect heartworm antigen (Dirofilaria immitis) and Ehrlichia canis, Ehrlichia ewingii, Ehrlichia chaffeensis, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Anaplasma platys, and Lyme antibodies (Borrelia burgdorferi infection) in a single blood sample. Find out more at your pet’s next examination at TIAH. 💚

Pain and Problem Behavior in Cats and Dogs 🐶🐱
🐾
Article by Mills DS, et al. Animals 2020
See our story for direct link to article.
🐾
Abstract:
We argue that there is currently an under-reporting of the ways in which pain can be associated with problem behavior, which is seriously limiting the recognition of this welfare problem. A review of the caseloads of 100 recent dog cases of several authors indicates that a conservative estimate of around a third of referred cases [to behaviorists] involve some form of painful condition, and in some instances, the figure may be nearly 80%. The relationship is often complex but always logical. Musculoskeletal but also painful gastro-intestinal and dermatological conditions are commonly recognized as significant to the animal’s problem behavior. The potential importance of clinical abnormalities such as an unusual gait or unexplained behavioral signs should not be dismissed by clinicians in general practice, even when they are common within a given breed. In general, it is argued that clinicians should err on the side of caution when there is a suspicion that a patient could be in pain by carefully evaluating the patient’s response to trial analgesia, even if a specific physical lesion has not been identified.

The World Small Animal Veterinary Association has recently published guidelines on reproduction control. While the population of homeless pets remains high, there are risks and benefits for responsible pet guardians to consider before desexing. This World Spay Day we’d like to raise awareness of the benefits of hormone replacement therapy in desexed pets, non-surgical temporary testosterone blockers for intact male dogs, and essential health monitoring for intact and spayed/neutered pets. 🐾

“The Let Them Theory” offers a powerful mindset shift for anyone feeling burdened by judgment, especially in challenging situations. For dog 🐕🐾 parents dealing with judgment about their disabled, chronically ill, special needs, or elderly dogs, the theory can be an empowering tool. Here are some examples:

1. When you have an older dog with arthritis or a chronic condition that limits their mobility. You often hear people wonder why are you carrying your dog or why don’t you let your dog be more active.

Let them. Rather than internalize their criticism or feel guilty, you choose to let them think what they want. Your dog’s health & well-being are unique to them. You know your dog’s limitations better than anyone. Stop trying to justify your choices to others & remember that you are the best advocate for your dog’s needs.

2. When your dog has trouble walking long distances due to age or a health issue, so you use a pet stroller/carrier. This might invite judgment from others who think it’s unnatural or too much.
Let them. Instead of defending your decision or explaining yourself, you decide to let people think whatever they like. You know your dog’s comfort is your priority, and you’re giving them the best possible life. The stroller is a tool for mobility, not a reflection of weakness.

3. When people often question your decisions regarding your dog’s treatment plan, especially if it involves medications, supplements, or alternative therapies. They may suggest that you’re over doing it or that it’s too much for the dog to handle.
Let them. Remind yourself that these decisions are based on what your vet recommends & you’re taking all the necessary steps to ensure your dog lives comfortably. Instead of trying to explain every choice, you choose to let them form their opinions & focus on what’s right for your dog. Their judgments do not change the facts.

“The Let Them Theory” helps dog parents focus on what matters: the well-being of your dog. Remember, you don’t need to defend your decisions or seek approval from others. By choosing to use “let them” you can preserve peace of mind while continuing to provide the best care for your pets. ❤️

Why choose an independent 🩺veterinary practice for your pet?
🐾
In light of recent investigations by CBC, Fifth Estate, Marketplace, and Radio-Canada’s Enquête and La Facture, it is crucial to understand the evolving landscape of the pet health sector in Canada. The rise of corporate ownership in veterinary practices raises important questions about the care your pet receives. By choosing an independent veterinary practice, you are not only investing in your pet’s health but also supporting your local community. Your money stays locally, paying folks who live in and contribute to your community. Profits are reinvested in the practice, your neighborhood and your city.
🐾
Supporting local 🙌 is not just a buzzword for us, it is a core principle. You may have flexibility in treatment options and there can be more of a focus on your pet as an individual. By choosing us, you ensure that your pet’s health is prioritized and that you are supporting a practice that shares your values. We want to thank you for trusting Toronto Integrative Animal Health as a partner in your pet’s health care. 🥰 🐕🐈‍⬛

Have you ever wondered who truly owns your veterinary clinic? 🤔🐶🐱 A recent investigation by has uncovered that a large majority of vet clinics are owned by corporations. The study states that, “Before 2010, almost all veterinary clinics in Canada were owned by the vet you visited. Today, more than half of emergency and specialty hospitals and more than 20 per cent of all clinics are owned by six corporations.” This corporate ownership often prioritizes profit over pet care, leading to increased costs for services.
🐾
Ownership of a veterinary clinic is a topic worth exploring. It influences not only the management but also the care provided to the pets we love. “Lack of transparency in ownership means consumers may not know who’s behind their pet’s care.” Knowledge is power when it comes to making informed choices for our beloved pets. Dr. Rona Sherebrin is the Owner and Founder of Toronto Integrative Animal Health (TIAH) and has been a veterinarian for over 30 years, practicing Integrative Medicine for over 20 years. As a veterinarian passionate about integrative care, Dr. Sherebrin created TIAH in order to offer a full range of therapeutic and diagnostic services to her patients in a holistic care setting. 💚
🐶

What are flower 🌺 essences? Flower essences are liquid extracts from flowers used to balance emotions and relieve stress, particularly in animals like cats, dogs, horses, and more. Developed in the 1930s by Dr. Edward Bach, these essences are often given to animals in diluted form, either orally or applied to the skin.
🐾
Flower essences are considered holistic, working on the emotional and energetic levels of the individual to promote healing and balance. Rather than targeting specific symptoms, they aim to elevate the overall vibrational state of the being, helping it heal itself by transforming negative emotions into positive ones.
🐾
Discover the healing power of nature with Dr. Kneebone at TIAH! Her Bach Flower Essences are derived from the delicate extracts of flowers, trees, and bushes and offer a holistic approach to addressing your dog’s emotional and physical well-being. 💚🌼🌸

Dog boots 👢provide extra protection to prevent ❄️ winter-related injuries, such as cracking, frostbite, and exposure to toxic chemicals like de-icing salts. 🩵 🐾 Salt used on roads and sidewalks can cause chemical burns on paw pads and can be toxic if ingested (by licking). 🐾 BUT Don’t leave boots on indoors unless there is a medical reason to, as the only place that dogs sweat is ON their feet. Moisture buildup on feet from wearing waterproof boots too long can damage skin. 🐾 Skin in between toes (interdigital web) is very sensitive and prone to developing painful cysts, especially in short- haired dogs such as Mastiffs, Frenchies and Boxers. Dogs will lick at these cysts incessantly and a vicious cycle of interdigital dermatitis develops. Any sores on the feet or thickened areas in between toes should be checked out by your vet asap. Integrative vets have more tools in their dermatology toolbox! 💚 #healthypaws #winterpawcare #integrativemedicine #integrativevet #spectrumofcare #veterinarian #petcare #integrativeveterinarymedicine #pethealth #torontovet #animalwellness #torontovetclinic #dogwellness #holisticpethealth #healthydogs #healthycats #healthypets #dogpawcare #mastiffs #frenchies #boxerdogs #holisticvetcare #holisticveterinarian
