If bacteremia occurs, bacteria from the infected gums can enter the bloodstream and spread to other organs, including the heart. Over time, this can damage the heart's structure and function, potentially leading to heart disease. Maintaining your dog's dental health and other health efforts is a vital step in protecting your dog's heart health. Contact us at 604-739-7111 to evaluate your dog's dental health!

With the busy pace of life, our dogs can't always be with us. We often have to leave them at home and return to them later. As a result, some pets may develop separation anxiety. Fortunately, there are effective ways to help them overcome this. You can train them to understand that you'll be back soon and that there's no need to worry. Techniques like counter-conditioning, gradual desensitization, increasing physical stimulation, and creating a safe space can help. If you need more guidance, please call us at 604-739-7111.

Different breeds of cats mature at slightly different rates. Depending on your kitten's breed, it might take them somewhat longer to mature. Maine Coons, for example, aren't considered mature until about 3 or 4 years old. Some cats never even really outgrow their kitten phase! Looking for more fun facts about your cat? Follow us for more.

Oftentimes, we see our cute cats twirling, but what does it mean? It can signify several things. They could be being playful, following a hunting instinct, showing excitement, or, in rare cases, it could indicate a medical issue or be caused by disorientation.

Have you ever noticed that your pup twitches while they’re sleeping? That’s because dogs dream as well with comparable sleep patterns to humans.

Stay pawsome! Give us a call at 604-739-7111 to schedule a visit.

Have you seen your cat playing and twisting as if they really have 9 lives? Cats are actually known for their agility and flexibility!
