FUN FACT FRIDAY IS BACK!! Did you know...cats sleep for about 2/3 of their lives? So when your cat is 12 years old, it will only have spent 4 years of its life awake.
The hospital will be open Thursday, June 6th from 9:30am-5:30pm.
**Kitty is looking for her forever home. Please email [email protected] directly for any further information regarding Kitty and her adoption.**
We are looking for a forever home for our dog Kitty. We adopted her in September and she is just not a good fit for our family. Mixed terrier breed about 3 years old. She’s affectionate and cuddly, energetic, but is not good for a home that has children. She would be a great dog for a couple or somebody who is single. She is a good watch dog, she has all her shots and she’s been fixed. Not good on a leash. Please give our Kitty a good home.
The hospital will be closed on Monday, May 27th, in observance of Memorial Day. We will reopen on Tuesday at 8am. If your pet experiences a medical emergency, please reach out to one of the area's 24/7 emergency hospitals.

Did you know? Cats have better memories than dogs. Tests conducted by the University of Michigan concluded that while a dog's memory lasts no more than 5 minutes, a cat's can last as long as 16 hours—exceeding even that of monkeys and orangutans.
We love this warmer weather and unfortunately so do the fleas and ticks!! Please give us a call to discuss your best option for protecting your pet and keeping these pests out of your home!

Did you know? Cats walk like camels and giraffes: They move both of their right feet first, then move both of their left feet. No other animals walk this way!
We think of heartworm as a "dog" disease but as we see below, this is not the case.

Happy Monday, friends! We are so sorry for the delay in our how-to videos but here is another one in our Fall Learning Series! We hope you enjoy!

✨Staff Member of the Month Highlight!✨ Every Tuesday for the month of June, we will be highlighting Jen (Jennettie) with photos and background stories so that you can get to know her! (we're a day late - we know! Sorry) 🩺 I don't have a specific question to answer for this one; I just wanna talk about my cat going for hikes! I started training one of my four cats, Lynx, with a harness in the backyard years ago. One day I decided I wanted to see how she would do out hiking on a trail (I'm an avid hiker). She ended up just following me down the trail like she was a dog on a leash. Now it's one of our favorite spring/summer activities to do together. Lynx loves to climb on all the rocks and logs she sees along the trail, just like her mama!
We are so excited to announce that we are now offering Solensia, the first FDA approved injection used to control pain associated with feline osteoarthritis. If you believe your cat is exhibiting signs of osteoarthritis*, call us to schedule an appointment! *Please find a list of signs in the comment section below.
Guess what? It's Vet Tech Week! Throughout this week we will be highlighting our amazing vet techs and playing a lot of fun games with you, our extended family. To kick it off, please enjoy this video from Liberty Village Animal Hospital in Toronto that summarizes what our techs do on a daily basis!
Happy Saturday, friends! Remember to make good decisions this weekend! Phoenix apparently did not get that memo this morning. **She is okay and has decided that it is much safer to hang out in Jo's lap than the recycle bin! (check the photo in the comments!) Stay safe and warm!
Happy Thursday, friends! Wishing you an amazing day, just like the one Phoenix is having watching the butterflies in our garden 🦋🌼
