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 403-485-6880.

It's, in fact, TRUE! Even though your pet looks healthy, getting routine blood work during their wellness exams is always recommended. There may be underlying conditions that aren't detectable by the naked eye. Detecting potential problems is one of the essential reasons dogs need blood work, especially for seniors, to monitor their organ health and age-related conditions. Have you scheduled your pet's routine wellness exam? Contact us at 403-485-6880.

When your dog's dental health is neglected, there's a significant risk of developing gum disease, which can progress to periodontal disease. 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 403-485-6880 to evaluate your dog's dental health!

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. However, in most cases, this is normal behavior. Always remember to monitor your cat's behavior to ensure they're in tip-top shape and not in distress. If unsure, we're here to help - call 403-485-6880.

Certain dog breeds are significantly predisposed to heart disease, and one of these breeds is the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, which is particularly susceptible to Mitral Valve Disease (MVD). This condition can lead to heart failure due to the degeneration of the mitral valve in the heart, causing leakage that results in fluid buildup in the lungs and enlargement of the heart. MVD often affects older dogs, with symptoms potentially appearing as early as age 5 or 6. If you own this breed, regularly monitoring their health and watching for signs, including coughing, lethargy, and difficulty breathing, is essential. Remember to schedule their wellness check-ups with us at 403-485-6880 so we can evaluate their heart and overall health.
