Today, the MacKay’s Animal Hospital team gathered to share a delicious lunch, lovingly prepared by Dr. McLean’s wife, Nancy, as we celebrated a very special veterinarian, Dr. Candace Waters.
As Dr. Waters prepares to embark on an exciting new adventure and move across the country, we wanted to take a moment to thank her for the exceptional care, compassion, and dedication she has brought to our patients, clients, and team.
Monday will be her final day with us, and while we are sad to see her go, we are incredibly grateful for the time we’ve shared and the positive impact she has made on so many lives, both human and animal.
Dr. Waters, you will be deeply missed. We wish you nothing but happiness, success, and new adventures in this next chapter.

One of the perks of being a pet owner is the fact that you are always loved! Nothing is greater than coming home after a long day to be greeted by your furry companion. How does your pet greet you after a long time away from home? Share with us in the comments below!

Don't forget that part of taking proper care of your pet includes regular vet visits. Make an appointment with us today by contacting us at (905) 632-0490.

Yes, dogs can eat strawberries as long as they are given in moderation. Strawberries have many benefits for dogs, such as vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. However, eating too many can cause digestive issues in dogs so it is important to monitor just how much you're feeding them. Give us a call at (905) 632-0490.

It’s true! The Beatles’ song ‘A Day in the Life” features a frequency towards the end that only dogs can hear. This was confirmed in a 2013 interview with Paul McCartney! The next time you’re listening to the song, see how your dog reacts and let us know in the comments if they are a music fan. Stay current with your dogs' healthcare needs and schedule their appointment by calling (905) 632-0490.

We all know cats have whiskers on their faces, which help guide them through their daily functions as sensory equipment. They aid in vision, navigation, balance, and portraying emotions. Did you know that they also have whiskers at the back of their front legs? Its true! These are called carpal whiskers, and they provide your kitty with information about objects within their grasp and play a key role when hunting. It serves as your cat’s GPS system! Contact us for more information about how to care for your cat. Call us at (905) 632-0490.

06/18/2026

Your dog’s size and energy output determine how much you should feed them. A pup with normal activity levels should receive “maintenance energy” whereas a lap dog requires just about 10% of that. An active pupper who exercises outdoors regularly would likely need an additional 20-40% than your average dog. Adjusting portion sizes is normal as you learn your dog’s ideal maintenance amount. Keep in mind that the weather can play a role in how much your dog should eat. Be sure to consult with us to develop a feeding schedule that is best for your furry family members! Contact us at (905) 632-0490 for more personalized care.
