Tigger was impressed with his service at the clinic, including being high as a 🪁 while enjoying his catnip knottie… he was then less impressed with the neuter that followed 😂 (swipe to see his surprised face when he found out what happened when he woke up) How did your pet react after their spay/neuter/surgery? Did they hold a grudge against you or were they just happy to be home? #vetmed #neuter #tabbycat #petvet
Queen Delilah is on the move 👑
Happy international cat day to all our spicy calicos, big ginger boys, beautiful brown tabbies, and all of the cats in between!

Watch RVT Bethany take a dental X-ray!
Dental radiographs are very important because it helps us decide whether a tooth is healthy or not. As you can see on the X-ray one of the teeth has suffered some bone loss, so that will need to be extracted. 🦷

Watch us perform an ear swab to check for ear mites! 🕷️
This lovely girl is with @steinbachanimalrescue. The rescue noted she was scratching her ears and brought her in to get checked and treated!
Ear mites are very common with outdoor cats and are transferable to dogs as well. Luckily they are also easy to treat!

Watch our RVT Chantelle pull blood on an adorable Golden puppy that was in the clinic today.
Just a reminder that while supplies last, we are discounting some of our bloodwork and you can get up to $70 off! Give us a call to book your cat or dog in for some baseline bloodwork. This will screen their red and white blood cells, platelets, kidneys, liver, and more! This is useful information so if you pet gets sick in the future, we know what their normal levels are or if something gets flagged today, we can potentially catch it early!

Did you know it’s possible to brush your cats teeth as well? Here is RVT Chantelle brushing her cat’s teeth!
Rowan is a good boy who likes to be wrapped in a towel so he doesn’t slide away mid-brushing. Chantelle started brushing his teeth when he was just 6 months old when his adult teeth came in, so he learned nice and young what it felt like to have his teeth brushed. We make sure to give him lots of breaks so he doesn’t feel like this is a punishment.
This is an example of a ‘finger toothbrush’, while Dr. Bargen used a pet toothbrush in her video of brushing Pip’s teeth.
Make sure you stay tuned for tomorrow big surprise giveaway!
Does it seem daunting to start brushing your pets teeth? We want to show you that it’s not as scary as it seems!
When Dr. Bargen started training her dog Pip (seen above), she was already 3 years old! Good thing we have a few easy steps to follow to ensure brushing their teeth goes well!
First, we get them used to touching their mouths and lifting their gums. Then, we like to get them used to the tooth brush, showing that it’s not scary. We have very tasty toothpaste with flavours such as chicken, malt, and vanilla, so lots of pets love getting their teeth brushed just for the yummy treat! Finally, we add the toothbrush and toothpaste and voila! We start brushing! Even if it’s once a week or one side at a time, it all helps!
