Sweet Mac came to visit Dr. Heidi and her team yesterday, and he was certainly all ready for the festive season! After his health check, he offered up his best reindeer impression by our Christmas tree - he looks absolutely ready to help Santa out if he happens to need an extra paw tonight!

Check out those excellent ears! This sweet pup, Winston, came to visit Dr. Megan recently for his final set of protective puppy vaccinations. Even though Winston was a wee bit nervous when he arrived for his appointment, our friendly team (and yummy treat supply) quickly won him over!

Handsome Felix came to visit Dr. Megan recently for help with a few health concerns. Felix was a trooper even when Dr. Megan examined his ears and paws. He also gave us his very best puppy-eye gaze, which we gladly rewarded with delicious treats!

This absolutely adorable floof is Bliss, a 12-week old Keeshond pup. This unique breed used to be known as the Dutch Barge Dog - they would travel canals and rivers in the Netherlands as part of the crew, serving as watchdogs. Although Bliss certainly looks prepared to take on such a big job, we suspect that she'll prefer to take on the equally-important task of keeping her family and her two big doggo brothers on their toes! 🥰

As our dogs grow older, they often need a little extra help to stay healthy and comfortable. Regular blood testing for senior dogs can be a valuable tool to catch health concerns early on. It also allows you to keep an eye on any changes that come with age. Learn all about what bloodwork can tell us about your dog's health: www.elvh.ca/senior-dog-blood-testing

As your pet ages, you may notice that they are no longer as sprightly and agile as they were in their younger days. Some of this may simply be maturity, but this slower pace is often the beginning indication of discomfort or inflamed muscles and joints.

Knowing what to watch for so you can spot your pet's mobility warning signs early can help you take early supportive action - learn more: www.elvh.ca/subtle-mobility-issues

Luckily there is so much we can do to support our seniors, helping them stay healthy and active long into their golden years.

Little kitten Minuit came to visit ELVH this week for her booster vaccines, and her 'big brother' Jasper came along for moral support. Not only was Jasper brave enough to offer her a shoulder to lean on (or shelter under!) but Jasper himself is working on becoming more comfy during vet visits. This extra visit gave him a chance to enjoy a lick mat filled with treats, see some friendly faces, and not have to contend with any treatments of his own. A great way to build confidence for the future!

There are many steps we can take to help our beloved cats age as gracefully as possible. As our veterinarians say, ‘age itself is not a disease.’ Senior cats can continue to be active, healthy, joyful, and pain-free. By supporting cats well as they age, we can help keep this lifestyle a reality. Learn all about helping your favourite feline age gracefully: www.elvh.ca/senior-felines
