Cryosurgery Promo Month Is Here!

We are offering a $15 examination related to the cryosurgery and 15% off of the cryosurgery throughout the month of January! New clients will still require a full $89 examination fee, but will be able to take part in the 15% off discount for the cryosurgery itself.

Freezpen is a cryosurgery device that we use to remove benign skin lesions or small benign tumours.

The Freezpen emits a very small jet of high pressure gas (nitrous oxide), at a temperature of -89°C, that rapidly freezes the area and destroys the cells in the lesion/tumour, without damaging the surrounding healthy tissue.

This can be useful because it allows us to precisely target these lesions/tumours, without the use of full general anesthetic. It is a very fast procedure, usually only lasting 1-2 minutes in total, and recovery time is very minimal.

If you feel like this is something your pet may benefit from, please feel free to contact us here at the clinic to discuss the procedure or to book an appointment! 🐾🐶🐱

We will keep you posted on what's happening in Scarboroughs most loved vet clinic!

As the weather gets colder, many people assume ticks are no longer a concern—but unfortunately, that’s not the case.

Ticks can remain active all year round, as long as the temperature is above 0°. This means that any time the temperatures rise above freezing, even just for short periods of time, ticks will actively search for hosts to feed on.

The risk of tick borne diseases does not disappear in the cold months. Ticks can continue to transmit diseases throughout the winter like lyme disease, anaplasmosis, and ehrlichiosis. Unfortunately these diseases can cause long-term health issues if not prevented, detected early, or treated. This is why we recommend continuing tick prevention even during the colder months!

If your pet is due for a refill of their prevention or you’d like to discuss which option works best for you and your pet, please feel free to contact us.
Our team is more than happy to discuss all of the options available!

November is Pet Cancer Awareness Month! 🎗️🐾

Sadly, cancer affects our furry friends just as much as it affects us. About 1 in 4 dogs and about 1 in 5 cats are diagnosed with cancer in their lives.
Early detection is key, therefore it is best to keep an eye out for any lumps or bumps, vomiting, rapid weight loss, or in some cases sudden onset of limping.
The gold standard recommendation is to do yearly examinations, blood work, and radiographs on your pet, as these procedures give us an overall idea of your pet's health and can help us keep an eye out for anything abnormal!

We are currently also offering a cancer screening test for our healthy adult dogs, called a Nu-Q Cancer Screen. This test screens for 2 types of cancer, Lymphoma and Hemangiosarcoma. This test gives us the possibility of early detection, as it tells us if your pet is at risk of these types of cancer so that we can monitor them for any signs or symptoms.

If you would like to bring your pet in for this test, or just for any diagnostics, please reach out to us to book an appointment! 🐾

Happy Halloween! 👻🎃

We want to remind everyone that even though we all love Halloween, be mindful that there are things that may be dangerous for your pets!

🍭Candy can include ingredients, like xylitol or chocolate, that are toxic for your pets.
🕸️ Decorations can cause many issues for your pets. Some decorations may have small pieces that can be easily swallowed, or electrical cords that could be chewed on.
🕯️Candles can be dangerous if knocked over, as they pose a fire hazard, and may cause harm to your pets.
🎃 Fall foods can also be dangerous for your pets. Foods like raisins can be toxic, corn can cause intestinal blockages, and pumpkin seeds can be a choking hazard.

We recommend keeping your pets away from all of the above to make sure that they have a fun Halloween as well! 🐶🐱

If you have any cute pictures of your pets in their Halloween costumes, please feel free to tag us! 🐾

We are bringing back dental month once again for September! 🦷🪥
Dental health is an essential part of your pet's overall wellbeing. If your pet's dental health is poor, it can affect their body in many other ways and may cause other health issues to arise, some of which may include kidney and heart disease! This is why maintaining your pet's dental health is so important!

At Markham Road Animal Hospital we offer a complete dental scaling and polishing, as well as extractions if your pet requires them. 🐱🐶

As per our dental month deals, we will once again be offering a 10% discount on all dentals during the month of September! If you would like to get your pet in for a dental, please contact us to book their initial dental examination. 😁✨
We can be reached either by phone at 416-438-1751 or by email at [email protected]!

We will keep you posted on what's happening in Scarboroughs most loved vet clinic!

August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month! 🐶🐱
Many things can cause your pets to be itchy, these can include allergies, parasites, bug bites, skin infections, and so many more!
One of the most common causes for itch that we see at the clinic is allergies! Our pets can develop allergies to foods, as well as the environment, just like we can. Allergies can be extremely frustrating for our pets as they are often uncomfortable, which is why it's best to get them seen as soon as you notice any excessive itching!
If you have any questions or think your pet would benefit from a visit to the clinic, please contact us to book an appointment! 🐾
