We know that most animals dislike coming to see us. The vet can be a scary place with all of the strange smells, sounds and people. But when your pets are stressed they don't always allow us to touch them, which makes it rather hard for us to help them. We do not believe in forcing a pet down to "just get it done and over with" - that mentality is traumatizing for everyone involved. That's why in certain instances we prescribe PVP medication (pre-visit pharmaceuticals).

Experts recommend washing your pet's food and water bowls at least once a day. If not washed often enough, a substance called "biofilm" (a combination of bacteria, fungi and algae 🤢) can grow on the surface of these materials which your pet can ingest every time they eat or drink. Ceramic, glass, and stainless steel are the recommended materials to use for feeding pets, because grooves can form in plastic that acts as a breeding ground for bacteria. So, how often do you wash your pets bowls?

Below are a few examples of vegetables that are safe for dogs to consume. Keep in mind that you should avoid butter, oil and other flavorings when offering these to your dogs! Remove stems and skin where necessary, and never feed your dog corn straight from the cob! Ingesting corn cobs can lead to a GI obstruction. Always remove the corn kernels prior to offering it to your dog.

❄️ It's a common misconception that animals can tolerate the colder weather better than their human counterparts. And while that is true to some extent, cold weather can still have a negative impact on our pets! If they have short hair, are young or old, or have underlying health issues, they are more susceptible to weather-related illnesses. While we dream of warmer weather, keep your pets cozy this winter by snuggling up under the blankets and following these winter safety tips! ❄️
