We’re a vet team — please don’t ghost us! 👻

Even when your pet seems happy, healthy and full of energy, regular veterinary check-ups are still important.

Our pets can be very good at hiding early signs of illness, so routine examinations give us the opportunity to spot changes before they become bigger problems.

🩺 Regular health checks
💉 Annual vaccinations
🦷 Dental assessments
🐾 Preventative healthcare

Your pet might think they’re perfectly healthy… but we like to make sure!

Don’t ghost your vet, your pet’s health depends on it!

Saying goodbye to a beloved pet is never easy, no matter how prepared we may be. At KVH, end of life care is something we hold close to our hearts.

While we cannot take away the heartbreak, we want our families to feel warmth, comfort and love during those final moments with the opportunity to reflect and cherish their pet's life.

Recently, we had the privilege of caring for beautiful 𝑳𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒚, whose family sadly had to say goodbye unexpectedly. Surrounded by so much love, Lenny was treated to a few cheeky goodies that would normally be off limits, bringing a few smiles and laughs through the tears.

Following his passing, Lenny's family shared a beautiful handwritten letter with our team. They spoke about the kindness and compassion they received, the little touches that made them feel comfortable and most importantly, the precious memories they were able to make during such a heartbreaking time.

Their words truly touched our hearts and reminded us why these little moments matter so much.

We are incredibly grateful to Lenny's family for allowing us to share their experience and for trusting us with their beautiful boy.

Rest peacefully, Lenny. You were so very loved. 💜🐾

🐱 𝐅𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃 𝐂𝐀𝐓 🐱

We currently have a 𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐞, 𝐝𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐚𝐭 safe in our care.

Unfortunately, he does not have a collar or a microchip.

We won’t be sharing any other physical details as we want to ensure he goes back to his correct home, if he has one, meaning proof of ownership is required for his return 💜

Meet Fudge!

Fudge came in for his castration and absolutely stole all the nurses’ hearts!

With his beautiful coat and even more beautiful personality, it was impossible not to fall in love with him. He was the cuddliest boy and was such a superstar throughout his visit! 🐾💜

🐾 The first evening
- Your pet may be drowsy, wobbly or quieter than usual.
- Offer a small meal and water once fully awake.
- Keep them warm, comfortable and somewhere quiet.
- A reduced appetite can be normal for the first evening

🦷 If teeth were removed
- Mild discomfort or sensitivity is normal.
- Give all prescribed pain relief as directed.
- Soft food may be recommended while the gums heal.
- Avoid bones, hard treats and chew toys until advised by your vet.

💗 The next day
Most pets are back to their normal selves the following day, with fresher breath, improved comfort and often a better appetite!

🚨 Contact your vet if you notice:
- Heavy or ongoing mouth bleeding
- Significant swelling
- Repeated vomiting
- Severe lethargy or difficulty waking
- Refusing food or water for an extended period
- Signs of significant pain or distress

🦷 How quickly does plaque, tartar & bad breath return?

After a professional dental, plaque can begin building up again within hours.

Plaque: Can return within hours.
Tartar: Can start forming within a few days.
Bad breath: May return within days to weeks.
Dental disease: Can begin progressing again as plaque builds up.

How quickly this happens depends on your pet’s age, breed, diet, genetics and home dental care. Regular dental care helps keep their teeth and gums healthy.

A Little Appreciation Post for Our Beautiful Team 💜

Behind every happy tail, gentle purr and wagging hello is a team who truly cares.

Without our incredible nurses and veterinarians, Kingston would simply not be the same. The veterinary industry can be tough some days, and it can ask a lot of the people who dedicate their lives to caring for animals. But even through the challenging moments, we find appreciation, joy, laughter, and, most importantly, a lot of compassion.

It is this incredible team that allows us to be there for our patients when they need us most, helping them feel better, feel safe and, most importantly, feel like themselves again. 🐾

To every nurse and veterinarian who wakes up each day and brings their knowledge, kindness and unwavering love for animals to work, thank you. Your dedication does not go unnoticed.

Our hearts will always be with the Kingston community we have built alongside our wonderful clients, patients and their families. We are so incredibly grateful to be part of it.

Here’s to our team 💜
