KAH community, it’s time to celebrate! 🎉

Our 2025 calendars were a hit and thanks to the generosity of all of you, we were able to raise a total of $785.00 for Community Veterinary Outreach and their mission that “aims to improve the health of homeless individuals and their pets through a “one health” model of care. By offering human health services and health education alongside preventative veterinary care, CVO seeks to improve access to veterinary and human health resources for an at-risk population, and leverage the human-animal bond to increase human health resource uptake.”

Learn more about the amazing work that CVO does on their website and social media channels! 🐾🐶

How are you staying warm during the cold weather? Maybe you're staying in and fostering your creative side like Oreo! He sure does look cozy in his make-shift cardboard fort! 🐾

Remember: in extremely cold weather remember to take your pets out for shorter walks and keep them bundled up with jackets and sweaters if needed! 🧣❄️

With the holiday season approaching, many of us may be hosting family and friends for our celebrations. Sometimes, these situations can cause stress and anxiety for our pets. If you’re hosting this holiday season, create a safe and cozy space for your pet away from all the hustle and bustle.

Feliway and Adaptil pheromone products can help create a calmer environment. Think they might need something else to help ease their anxiety? Ask us for more information on anxiety medications and nutraceuticals! Our team is more than happy to help curate the right regimen for your pet.

If you have any questions about these holiday hosting tips, please feel free to reach out to us either by phone or via email! 📩📞

This weekend we want to spotlight our wonderful clients!

Every year in October, the Farley Foundation hosts Fundraise for Farley Month. This year, The Kingsway Animal Hospital pledged to match any donations made. Created by the Ontario Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA), the Farley Foundation was created to help subsidize costs of veterinary care for pet owners who cannot afford unexpected or emergency treatment for their pets. With your help we were able to fundraise a total of $500 towards their mission! Thank you for your generosity! ✨❤️

Did you know that November is Adopt a Senior Pet month? 🖤

If you frequent our clinic, you may remember seeing Phoebe walking around, perusing for pets from anyone she could. Phoebe is a perfect example of how adopting a senior pet can be just as fulfilling as adopting a kitten! We are happy to report that Phoebe is thriving in her furever home, finding every possible napping spot she can and enjoying a life of tranquility that we can all envy.

Are you looking to adopt a pet? While we may not have any pets available for adoption at the moment, we may in the future. Until then, check out the Etobicoke Humane Society and Toronto Humane Society to see what lovely pets are looking for their forever homes! ✨

Did you know that November is Pet Diabetes Awareness Month?

When we discuss diabetes in pets, we are usually referring to diabetes mellitus, caused by a deficiency in insulin.

The body requires fuel in the form of fat or sugar. Glucose comes from starches and sugars in the diet. Tissues in the body are not able to absorb glucose without insulin. In pets with diabetes, since there is an insufficient level of insulin present, the body will be unable to move glucose from the bloodstream therefore causing blood sugar level spikes.

The main symptoms of diabetes in pets are increased thirst, increased urination, weight loss, and an increased appetite. A diagnosis can be made by a veterinarian when a pet showcases the main symptoms, displays a high level of glucose in the blood, and presents glucose in their urine.

After a formal diagnosis you will work together with your vet to find the right treatment plan for your pet. Treatment will usually include giving insulin injections as prescribed by your veterinarian, special diets formulated to help pets with diabetes (such as Purina DM Dietetic Management or Royal Canin Diabetic formulas) as well as regular exercise.

If you suspect that your pet may be exhibiting signs of diabetes or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to our qualified team here at The Kingsway Animal Hospital. We’d be more than happy to help you and your furry friend!
