What a fun and festive morning!

Handsome Tucker came in to work with his mom today, all dressed up and ready to celebrate Halloween in style!

And of course, our very own mascot, Sheldon the Lobster, joined in on the fun, sporting his Halloween costume and handing out candy to spread some Halloween cheer!

We love seeing everyone get into the Halloween spirit. A morning full of smiles, costumes, treats, and lots of fun!

Happy Halloween from all of us!

Happy Halloween from Shellard Lane Animal Hospital!

Halloween is full of spooky fun, sweet treats, and adorable costumes, but let's make sure our furry family members have a safe and happy Halloween, too! A little extra care can go a long way in keeping tails wagging and whiskers happy.

Halloween Pet Safety Tips:

• Keep the candy out of reach! Chocolate, xylitol (found in some sugar-free treats), and other Halloween goodies can be toxic to pets.
• Be costume-conscious. If your pet is dressing up, make sure their costume is comfortable, allows them to move and breathe freely, and doesn't restrict their vision.
• Watch the front door. Frequent trick-or-treaters can mean lots of open doors and opportunities for curious pets to sneak outside. Keep pets safely secured in a quiet room.
• Make sure they're identifiable. Ensure your pet's collar and ID tags are up to date, just in case they get out.
• Keep decorations pet-friendly. Keep candles, electrical cords, glow sticks, and small decorations out of curious paws and mouths.
• Give them a quiet retreat. The excitement, doorbells, and spooky visitors can be stressful. Make sure your pet has a cozy, quiet place to relax.

If your pet gets into something they shouldn't tonight, contact BNVC right away their phone number is 519 720 0753.

Wishing all our furry friends and their families a safe, happy, and spook-tacular Halloween!

From your friends at Shellard Lane Animal Hospital

Meet Achilles, our big guy with an even BIGGER Halloween spirit!

At 7 years old, this handsome Great Dane mix knows how to make an entrance! His dog mom always makes sure he gets into the spooky season, and he never disappoints!

Last year, he showed up fully decked out as Scooby-Doo, and this year he traded in his mystery-solving look for a fierce tiger costume! (Although, if you get to know him, you might discover he's really just a big cuddly, striped kitten!)

Achilles stopped by for some Halloween Tricks & Treats, and we couldn't be happier to see his handsome face! Thank you for always making our day, Achilles! We can't wait to see what you come up with next year!
