Hi everyone, sharing this important post regarding Heartworm.

⚠️ Heartworm is here in Ontario — and it’s closer to home than many people realize.

This blood film shows microfilaria (baby heartworms) from a heartworm-positive dog born and raised in Northumberland County. No travel history. No southern rescue. Just a local Ontario dog exposed through mosquito bites. 🩸

Heartworm disease is caused by parasites spread by mosquitoes and can lead to serious heart and lung damage in dogs. The scary part? Many infected dogs show few or no signs until the disease is advanced. 🫀

The good news: heartworm is preventable. Monthly prevention and routine testing are the best ways to protect your pets.

As mosquito season approaches, now is the perfect time to make sure your dog is up to date on their heartworm prevention and annual screening. 🦟🐶❤️

We had a very informative lunch and learn seminar with Dr. Anthony Yu a veterinary dermatologist who discussed new innovations and treatments for skin and allergy issues in our pets. Lisa's dog Koa who has a lot of allergy problems (hot spots, dermatitis, etc) was used as an example of how to spot and treat issues when they happen and how to use treatments like cytopoint and allergy medications most effectively. Thank you Dr. Yu for all your insights!

Hope everyone is enjoying their Easter weekend. Just be aware of some of the pet hazards surrounding the holiday. Particularly lilies. They are beautiful and often on the table as a centrepiece but they are extremely toxic to cats. So no lilies if you are a cat household.

Just a reminder we will be closed tomorrow for Good Friday but we will be open Monday April 6th 8-6. Have a nice Easter weekend!

Is anyone wondering how they are going to celebrate International Women's day this Sunday? If so, we would like to suggest a local performance of the Va**na Monologues in Cobourg! Our own Dr. McKenzie (veterinarian, gardener, designer/decorator) will be showing off yet another talent...acting! Yes, she will be one of the very talented women in this ensemble production. As of right now there are only 45 tickets left (she'd love to say her debut was for a sold out crowd). Not only is it an amazing production, a portion of the ticket sales will be donated to CFUW Northumberland.

Just a reminder we are closed today for the holiday, but open 8-6 tomorrow. Enjoy Family Day!
