Keep your furry family members safe this Holiday Season 🌲✨
As we're prepping for the coming weeks, let's not forget about our pets! Some holiday decorations might look tempting, but they can be hazardous 🚫
🎄 Pine needles, tinsel, and tree water - keep them out of reach
🕯️ Lit candles and potpourri - always supervise
🌺 Beware of poinsettias and other harmful plants
Let's make this season joyful, SAFE, and full of love for our furry family members! 🐾
In recognition of National Pet Diabetes Month, keep your pets clear of rich, fatty foods!
Keep holiday goodies and rich human food away from your pets! Giving your pets human food that is rich in seasoning and fat could cause stomach upset, weight gain, and could lead to diabetes 😯🥣
We love our pets!!! 🤭🤭
Today, we pause to remember and honour the sacrifices of our heroes. They gave their tomorrows for our today ❤️🙏
Love knows no age! 🐾💖 Join us in recognizing National Adopt a Senior Pet Month!

This week is National Animal Shelter & Rescue Appreciation Week 🐶🐱❤️
Let's give a BIG thank you to our local shelters by participating in the following:
1️⃣ Volunteer your time
2️⃣ Adopt a pet
3️⃣ Check their wish list (aka, go to your local shelter's website and see what items they need!)
We can make a difference if we do it together! 🫶🏼
We're celebrating National Adopt a Senior Pet Month! 🐶💕
Age doesn't define the amount of love a pet will give you. Let's open our hearts and homes to these wise and wonderful companions. They may be a little grayer, but their love is GOLDEN 💫
Talk with us if you're unsure of how to find the newest addition to your family!
TOMORROW IS THE DAY. ITS HALLOWEEN. 😱😱😱
Help keep your dog safe and calm during the doorbell opera 😂 Turn on the TV, listen to some music, or get them distracted with some pet-friendly puzzles. This way, everyone can enjoy the night 😆
Candy -- The stuff sweet dreams are made of, right? Maybe for us humans, but definitely not for our furry friends 🍭😅
Just a reminder: chocolate, gum, and sneaky raisins are no-go treats for them. Those crinkly wrappers? Don't even think about it! 😵
Let's keep our pets safe and the candy stash higher than a haystack! 🐾
Pro-tip for pet parents 🫡
Pumpkin is safe for cats and dogs. In fact, it's actually beneficial! Adding a little pumpkin to their diet is a good source of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber. If you have any questions, talk with us about the best way to incorporate pumpkin into your pet's diet! 🎃
Happy Halloween! We can hardly handle this year's pet Halloween costumes 🥹🥹
How are you dressing up your pet?! We wanna know! 🎃👻🦇
It's 'supposedly' bad luck to have a black cat cross your path... But we don't mind 👀
We'd love to see him or her for a checkup and prove that every cat, black or not, is a bundle of joy! Just, maybe leave the black cat-crossing to us... 😳🐈⬛
We wish this week lasted longer... National Vet Tech Week should be EVERY week! Thank you for all that you do, both seen and unseen. We love you guys! 🥰❤️
Visiting the clinic this week? Be sure to thank your technician! We love our vet techs, they're truly the heart of our team. Let’s show them how much they mean to all of us!! 🎉
It's National Vet Tech Week 🩺🐾
What does a Veterinarian Technician even do?? Well... they wear many hats. From doctor's assistant to pharmacy technician, dental hygienist to x-ray technician, to even being a surgical assistant!
They're incredibly good at handling different responsibilities annnd even better at the love and support they give to pets and their parents 🫶💙 We love our Vet Techs!!
We know that processed foods are unhealthy for us, but did you know they're also unhealthy for your pets?! 😵💫
Switch out pre-packaged treats for natural snacks such as apples, carrots, sweet potatoes, blueberries, and more! 🍎🥕🫐
In recognition of Pet Obesity Awareness Day, a little chubby pet will always look adorable to us. But even a few extra pounds could lead to serious problems 🫣
Give us a call and we'll help get your chunky monkey slim and fit in no time!
Happy Thanksgiving! 🍁💛
While you enjoy this Thanksgiving with family and friends, be sure to avoid sharing all the goodies with your four-legged family members. Wishing you a safe, happy, and healthy holiday!

When was the last time your pet had a check-up? 😯 Prioritize his or her health by calling us today for a wellness check!
Routine visits with us help prevent illness and diseases. Make sure your pet is healthy by scheduling a check-up with us!! 🐶💕
Rabies can be deadly, but they are 100% preventable!! In recognition of World Rabies day today, make sure your pet is protected.
Here are some steps to prevent rabies:
1️⃣ Keep a watchful eye on your pets (steer them away from wildlife encounters)
2️⃣ Be a responsible pet owner by spaying/neutering your pet (this helps reduce the number of homeless animals without the proper care and vaccinations)
Protect your four-legged friends by making sure their rabies vaccinations are up-to-date 🦠🚫
It's no secret that cats enjoy hunting 😼
Domestic cats share the same DNA as their wild ancestors, so make sure you have lots of toys and playtime with the OG hunters of the animal kingdom! 🦁🌿
When your dog howls at the sirens outside, we believe it could be for a few different reasons:
🐾 They're in a secret doggie choir
🐾 They're showing off their protective instincts
Either or, they're completely fine, happy, and okay with the sound!
It's the first day of Autumn! 🍂
Take note: Fleas and ticks like warm places to live, so as it becomes cooler outside, make sure your pet is up-to-date on their flea and tick protection.
Could you imagine not being able to taste sweet things?! 😵💫
Our feline friends technically can detect sweetness, but their brains don't recognize it! Thankfully they can taste sour, bitter, and salty flavors -- Bring on the tuna 🐟
Puzzle toys: because a bored dog is basically a canine mastermind plotting world domination (or just chewing your favorite shoes) 😅
Give your pet something that keeps them engaged and entertained! Let the canine games begin! 🐶💡
Here's to all those lucky birds out there (and a big sorry to the worms)!
Research shows that cat ownership can improve both mental and physical health in their owners. National Healthy Cat Month is a great reminder to give back to these sweet souls by prioritizing their wellness. If it’s been a while since your cat’s last checkup, give us a call!
Today is National Pet Memorial Day. Pets are family; they make us laugh, they comfort us, they show us how to love and be loved. Today is a reminder to take time out, even if just a few moments, to remember those special pets who enriched our lives and will always have a special place in our hearts.
The Labrador Retriever has been on the AKC’s top 10 most popular breeds’ list for 30 consecutive years — longer than any other breed. Lab lovers unite!
There are many positive health benefits associated with CBD, and not just for humans! If your pet suffers from things like joint pain or stress, CBD might be a great, natural solution. Contact us if you have questions!
This Labour Day, as we celebrate the achievements of workers, let’s not forget our four-legged friends who work alongside us! Please join us as we honour service animals for their dedication and hard work!
Pets experience pain just like humans do. Some signs of pain include decreased appetite, difficulty climbing, jumping or standing after lying down, excessive grooming, and changes in attitude or behavior. If you notice any of these, contact us. We can help provide much-needed relief!
For some people, one pet simply isn't enough! How big is your fur-family? Show us some pics of your crew in the comments section!
Today is National Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. Pets are our family, and this day is a reminder to take time out, even if just a few moments, to remember those who are no longer with us but forever in our hearts. As a celebration of our pets no longer here, post your photos in the comments and together we can remember all the love and joy they have given us.
As well as sweating through their paws, cats also keep themselves cool by grooming. Not only does this help to remove any excess heat-trapping fur, but when the saliva they leave on their fur evaporates it helps to cool them down too. Pretty pawsome if you ask us!
According to research by Dr. Sadahiko Nakajima, there really is truth to the idea that dogs resemble their owners. Why? Dr. Nakajima noted: “a major reason of the dog–owner facial resemblance is the so-called ‘mere exposure effect,' or the idea that a person might choose to get a dog who looks similar to themselves because of a preference for the familiar.” What do you think?
Why was the dog sweating so much? She was a hot dog! (That's what we call a dog-dad joke!)
