Caring for a pet in their end of life stages is a profound act of love. End of life care at home provides your pet with familiarity, comfort and reduced stress as they transition over the rainbow bridge.

Although home Veterinary services may not be suitable for every scenario, there are many occasions where a reduced stress visit in your pet's own environment is a wonderful option.

Avian Influenza: Please read this article by Dr Weese regarding the cases of Avian Influenza in dairy cattle in the US and potential spread to farm cats, ie. interspecies spread. There is still a lot we don’t know about this transmission and what it will mean for our pets. However, there are two things we can do while we are waiting to learn more. The first thing is Don’t Panic!! The second is to keep your cats indoors. If that is not possible, then limit contact with wild birds (or sick dairy cattle if on farm). The Worms and Germs Blog is an excellent source of up to date reliable information as we learn more about Avian Influenza and how it may affect our pets here in Canada.

The solar eclipse is on Monday April 8th. Here is some information shared from Dr Fleming. Happy reading and learning!

Hello friends!

The total solar eclipse is just around the corner, and just about everyone is ready to see the once in a lifetime event. We are seeing some mixed information about pet/wildlife safety.

Contrary to what some may read, the sun itself is not any more dangerous during the eclipse. The reason protective eye wear is recommended for humans (who wish to observe the eclipse) is because many of us will be staring directly at the sun that day, which is something we typically avoid.

For our pets, and outdoor wildlife, that day will be similar to any other day. Our pets don’t stare at the sun, so there is no need to keep them indoors on April 08 for any extended period of time. They may notice the change in temperature, but it is unlikely they will exhibit any unusual behaviour.

The eclipse can be more unsettling for birds. The dimming of the sky can mimic behaviour at dusk and during early storm formation, so some birds may demonstrate a wind-down behaviour and there may be less activity in the sky during the peak eclipse. Once the sky returns to normal, so does their behaviour.

If you are purchasing eclipse glasses, please make sure they meet these criteria. For additional information about the eclipse please see:

For a list of approved solar-viewing goggles please see:

It is not safe to watch the eclipse through the lens of your smartphone - it can damage both your phone camera and your eyes. Try this instead:

Safe watching our friends!
