❗️Reminder❗️ to pick up your dog and/or cat’s tick prevention! Ticks are out in full force this time of year! This tick has taken a blood meal from a host and had the potential to transmit a number of tick diseases! We want ticks to fall off as soon as possible and that’s what a
☑️ safe and ☑️ effective tick product will do.
We have a new topical product available for cats that is an all in one parasite control! If you would like more information please contact the clinic.

These two ticks had hitched a ride into the clinic on one of our patients!
We recommend checking your pet for ticks after being outside (especially when walking through grass and wooded areas).
Ticks can transmit disease and can also cause paralysis in pets (and people).
If you would like information on safe tick prevention for cats and dogs please give us a call! We also have tick removers available at the clinic for no charge.

This is Emily! Dr. Rand Davis performed a TPLO procedure to stabilize her stifle joint because of a rupture to her cranial cruciate ligament (ACL in humans). The cranial cruciate ligament can rupture as a result of long term degeneration, acute injury, genetic factors, obesity, individual conformation and more.
Look at how awesome she is doing after her surgery!!! And doing it in style! You go girl, we ♥️ you!

Even with this hot weather, we are still seeing ticks out! This one has taken a blood meal and is engorged. Ticks will grab onto a pet (or person) as they walk by and find a good spot to take a blood meal. They will feed until they are finished then fall off their host. The earlier they are removed, the less chance a tick borne disease will be transmitted. We do recommend tick prevention in the Okanagan. Please ask us if you have questions about tick prevention and your pet!
Have you pulled ticks off your pet this year?!

Cat Vaccinations
Please ask us which vaccinations are recommended for your cat based on his/her lifestyle. There are diseases found throughout the Okanagan that can be easily prevented by vaccinations. If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact us!
Can you guess what we found when the veterinarian took a swab and looked at it under the microscope?!
Hint: the swab was taken from an outdoor cat’s ear.
