Let the games begin!

The ultimate post-surgery challenge where pets navigate their new lampshade lifestyle with varying degrees of grace (and furniture collisions). Will they master the art of eating, drinking, and sleeping while sporting the infamous "cone of shame"? Will they figure out doorways are now slightly trickier?

Happy Monday folks!

The International Veterinary Academy of Pain Management (IVAPM) has proclaimed September as "Animal Pain Awareness Month", and this coincides with human medicine’s Pain Awareness Month. Just like people, animals feel pain from injuries, arthritis, surgery, and chronic conditions, but they often hide it. Knowing the subtle signs like decreased activity, reluctance to jump or climb stairs, excessive licking, or changes in appetite can make all the difference in your pet’s comfort and quality of life.

This month, we’re proud to highlight our Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist (CCRT), Dr. Stephanie Bodnarchuk, who specializes in pain management for pets. Using advanced rehab techniques and laser therapy, Dr. Bodnarchuk helps pets recover faster, reduce pain, and regain mobility safely and effectively.

"Did you know that canine rehabilitation therapy encompasses so much more than recovery from surgery or injury? Rehabilitation therapy has been shown to be effective in managing chronic pain conditions, adding another tool for improving patient comfort. It has been shown to improve and maintain mobility and comfort in our senior patients, allowing them to live full and active lives, supporting the human animal bond well into the golden years." - Dr. Stephanie.

If you notice any signs that your pet might be in pain, or if your furry friend is dealing with arthritis, injuries, or post-surgical discomfort, contact us today to explore how Dr. Bodnarchuk’s expertise can support their healing journey. Together, let’s give our pets the relief they deserve.

šŸ“…Today is Puppy Mills Awareness Day
Puppy mills are large-scale, commercial breeding facilities that prioritize profit over animal welfare, often keeping dogs in poor, crowded, and unsanitary conditions with little socialization, veterinary care, or love. Puppies from these mills commonly suffer from health issues, genetic problems, and behavioral difficulties—heartbreaking for both the dogs and their new families.

šŸ“ŠStats on Puppy Mills in Canada
Though banned in some provinces, puppy mills still persist across the country. Humane Canada estimates several thousand inhumane breeding facilities active nationwide. Rural regions of Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia have faced particular puppy mill issues. Nearly 10,000 dogs were recorded kept for breeding in Canada’s 2018 dog breeding survey, though welfare groups believe more exist unreported. So, while exact puppy mill numbers are unknown, evidence shows it is a widespread problem requiring action.

āš ļøHow to Avoid Puppy Mills
Never buy a puppy from a pet store or online classifieds—most of these sources get dogs from puppy mills.

Ask to visit the facility and meet the puppy’s parents—reputable breeders will welcome visits and fully involve you in the pups’ upbringing.

Check for veterinary records and proper contracts—legitimate breeders provide documentation for health checks, vaccinations, and often require spay/neuter agreements.

Be wary of breeders who always have puppies available, offer many breeds, or rush the sale—dedicated breeders focus on quality, rarely have multiple litters, and care deeply about their dogs’ future homes.

If possible, directly adopt a pet from a shelter or rescue organization. Shelters assess pets for health and temperament and work hard to match the right animal with loving families, saving lives and reducing support for puppy mills.

āœ…Why Adopt, Don’t Shop
Adopting gives deserving dogs and cats a second chance while helping end the demand for neglected, mill-bred animals. Shelter pets come in all shapes, sizes, and ages—and most have already received proper veterinary care and socialization. When you choose to adopt, you make a lasting positive impact on both the pet’s life and the humane treatment of all animals.

Make a difference: adopt your next furry friend from a shelter or rescue, not a puppy mill.

🧺 A cat carrier is an essential piece of equipment for your cat. You will need it to transport them to the vet for regular check-ups and in case of emergencies.

Cats like their home comforts and familiar territory. They can find travelling stressful. You should only travel with your cat for essential reasons. For example, trips to the vet or cattery, or moving home. Veterinarians recommend cat carriers that prioritize safety, easy access, and comfort, making vet visits and travel less stressful for both cats and owners. Here are key professional recommendations and important features to look for:

āœ… Vet-Recommended Features
šŸ†— Easily Removable Top: A sturdy carrier with a top that can be detached (usually in hard-sided styles) allows the vet to examine a nervous or anxious cat while they remain in the base. This is especially helpful for cats that prefer to ā€œhideā€ or are reluctant to leave the carrier.

šŸ” Two Entry Points: Top and front openings enable easy, stress-free loading and unloading—helpful for nervous or resistant cats.

šŸ”“ Secure Closures: High-quality locking mechanisms or solid latches keep cats safe inside; avoid carriers with flimsy zippers or rusted attachments.

šŸ  Proper Size: The carrier should be big enough for your cat to stand, turn, and lie down, but snug enough to provide a sense of security.

šŸ’Ø Good Ventilation: Multiple mesh or ventilated panels keep air flowing and let your cat observe their surroundings while preventing overheating.

šŸ‹ļø Durable and Easy to Clean: Hard-sided carriers are durable, provide the best protection, and are simple to wipe out in case of accidents; soft-sided are lighter but may not be as sturdy or easy to clean.

šŸ’¤ Comfortable Interior: Look for a padded bottom, or add a familiar towel for extra coziness.

😺 Investing in a high-quality carrier not only reduces stress for both you and your cat but also helps make every journey a positive experience. Remember, the right carrier is more than just a container—it’s your cat’s safe haven on the go! 🐾

"Pet Birth Defect Awareness Day" is observed on September 13, and was initially created by Davis Rogers, founder of MBJungle Foundation.

ā„¹šŸ¾Pet birth defects/abnormalities can be present at birth or be present later on in a pet’s life. Some birth defects/abnormalities are easily visible and recognizable, such as a deformed limb, while others may not be visible, or don’t manifest until later stages in life.

āž”šŸ¦®Various things such as genetics, exposure to medication, lack of nutrients during pregnancy, and diseases can cause pet birth defects, but learning about pet birth defects, keeping a pregnant pet healthy, spaying and neutering the pet, and consulting with a vet can help responsible pet owner to avoid pet birth defect.
