🐾 Berkley and Deuce stopped by for their annual appointments today, proudly sporting their veterinary handkerchiefs! 💙

After lots of tail wags and a thorough checkup, they left with their vaccines on board and a clean bill of health. 🩺✨

These handsome pups were all smiles and took their visit like champions. Here's to another happy and healthy year ahead for Berkley and Deuce! 🐶🐶💕

The World Cup excitement is heating up, and while our star player here is ready to make the starting lineup for Team Canada, he wanted to share a quick team talk about staying safe in the summer sun.

​Unlike our favorite soccer stars, our pets can't change into a lightweight jersey when it gets hot! To keep your furry MVPs out of the penalty box this summer, keep these tips in mind:

​💧 Hydration is Key: Keep fresh, cool water available at all times—especially during halftime backyard matches!
​🕒 Time the Games: Limit heavy exercise and soccer practice to the cooler morning or evening hours.
​🛑 Know the Signs: Heavy panting, dark red gums, lethargy, or vomiting are major red flags for heatstroke. If you spot them, hit the bench and cool them down immediately.

☀️🐾 Seasonal Pet Safety Tips: Summer Edition 🐾☀️

As the temperatures rise, it's important to keep our furry family members safe and comfortable!

🌡️ Never Leave Pets in Vehicles
Even with the windows cracked, the temperature inside a vehicle can become dangerously hot within minutes, leading to heatstroke or worse.

💧 Keep Fresh Water Available
Make sure your pet always has access to clean, cool water, especially when spending time outdoors.

🚶 Avoid Midday Heat
Walk dogs during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or evening. Hot pavement can burn sensitive paw pads.

🐕 Watch for Signs of Heatstroke
Seek veterinary attention immediately if your pet shows:
• Excessive panting
• Drooling
• Weakness or lethargy
• Vomiting or diarrhea
• Collapse

🌳 Provide Shade
If your pet is outside, ensure they have access to shade and a cool place to rest.

🏖️ Be Careful Around Water
Not all dogs are natural swimmers. Always supervise pets near pools, lakes, and beaches.

🎆 Planning for Summer Celebrations
Fireworks, parties, and gatherings can be stressful for pets. Make sure they have a quiet, secure place to retreat if needed.

If you have any concerns about your pet during the warmer months, give us a call. We're happy to help keep your pets safe and healthy all summer long! ❤️🐾

⚖️ A Quick Note About Our Pet Scale ⚖️🐾

You may notice that our scale is set to kilograms (kg) instead of pounds. This is because all veterinary medications, anesthetic drugs, fluid rates, and many medical calculations are performed using kilograms for accuracy and safety.

Even a small change to the unit setting can create serious concerns when calculating proper drug dosages for your pet. For this reason, we kindly ask that clients please do not change the scale from kilograms to pounds.

If you would like to know your pet’s weight in pounds, we are always happy to help! 😊
You can also easily convert it at home:

➡️ Kilograms × 2.2 = Pounds

Example:
10 kg × 2.2 = 22 lbs

Thank you for helping us keep your pets safe and ensuring accurate medical care for every patient that visits us. 🐶🐱💙
