Environmental allergies in dogs and cats can be frustrating for pet owners. The diagnosis and management of this chronic condition require a good deal of commitment from all involved.

Fortunately, a wide variety of treatment avenues are available and provide excellent comfort to affected pets.

Like people, dogs and cats can develop allergies to many things, including food, dust, mould, and pollen.

Book your appointment today to discuss a variety of options to help take the itch out!

Today we celebrate the resilience, loyalty, and unconditional love of rescue dogs everywhere.

On National Rescue Dog Day, we honour the dogs who got a second chance and the people who opened their hearts to them. Whether they came from a shelter, a rescue organization, or a difficult past, rescue dogs have an incredible way of reminding us what trust, forgiveness, and companionship truly mean.

At our clinic, we know that every rescue journey is unique. Some arrive confident and carefree, while others need patience, training, medical care, and time to feel safe. Watching those transformations is one of the most rewarding parts of veterinary medicine.

If you’ve adopted a rescue dog, thank you for choosing compassion. And if you’re considering adding a pet to your family, remember: sometimes the perfect dog is the one still waiting to be found and there continues to be a lot of pets looking for homes locally.

Share a photo of your rescue dog in the comments. We’d love to celebrate them with you!

Smell ya later!

A dog’s nose is nothing short of amazing! Dogs have up to 300 million scent receptors compared to our 5-6 million, making their sense of smell up to 100,000 times stronger than humans. From detecting disease and finding missing people to sniffing out hidden treats, their noses are truly superpowers.

Breeds like Bloodhounds, Beagles, Dachshunds, and German Shepherds are especially gifted scent detectives. Next time your dog stops to sniff everything on a walk, remember....they’re experiencing a whole world we can’t even imagine!

Why Do Pets Shed More in Spring?

If it feels like your dog or cat is leaving a trail of fur everywhere right now… you’re not imagining it!

As the weather warms up and daylight increases, many pets naturally “blow” their winter coats to prepare for spring and summer. This seasonal shedding helps regulate body temperature but it can definitely leave pet owners reaching for the lint roller.

Here are a few ways to help manage spring shedding:

Brush regularly to remove loose fur before it ends up on your furniture
Use de-shedding tools designed for your pet’s coat type
Keep up with bathing and grooming appointments
Feed a balanced diet to support healthy skin and coat
Vacuum often… because fur somehow reaches places you didn’t know existed

Professional grooming can also make a huge difference during shedding season, especially for double-coated breeds.

Now we want to hear from YOU!
What’s your holy grail shedding solution?

🐾 Best brush?
🐾 Favourite de-shedding tool?
🐾 Vacuum that actually survives pet hair? (RIP 3rd Roomba)
🐾 Any grooming hacks that make life easier?
🐾 Favourite local groomer for cats and dogs?

Share your favourites in the comments and help fellow pet parents survive spring shedding season!

It’s Veterinary Office Assistant Appreciation Week!

Our Veterinary Office Assistants work closely with your pets to help ease stress and fear in a calm, gentle, and reassuring way helping create a safer and more comfortable experience during treatment and care.

Beyond compassionate patient support, our VOA team plays an important role behind the scenes every single day. From assisting with blood work and urinalysis to disinfecting and sterilizing surgical instruments, helping with X-ray positioning and supporting diagnostic procedures, their skills and dedication touch every part of our hospital.

Their roles and responsibilities are truly endless, and they are an integral part of our team at Maple Ridge Veterinary Hospital.

A huge thank you to Dominika, Morgan, Julie, and Lisa for the incredible care, hard work, and compassion you bring to our patients, clients, and team each day. We appreciate you more than words can say!

Emergencies can happen quickly, but preparation can be simple. Taking a few small steps now, like gathering supplies and updating identification, can make a meaningful difference later.

It is less about having everything perfect and more about being ready. Planning ahead helps protect your pet when it matters most!

Camping is a classic Canadian way to celebrate Victoria Day and it’s even better when your pets come along.

Before you hit the road, help your pet feel at ease by introducing them to their “home away from home.” Set up your tent in the backyard or open up your trailer for them to explore. Remember, trailers can feel unfamiliar and a little scary at first. Give them time to sniff, settle, and build positive associations ahead of your trip.
Then use this checklist to make sure you’re fully prepped for a smooth, enjoyable weekend:

Pack smart for a safe, comfy trip:

Pet-friendly tent & cozy sleeping pad
Food, water & portable bowls
P**p bags (leave no trace!)
Spare leash + tie-out/long line
Safety gear (life jacket, reflective collar)
Toys & towels for comfort and cleanup
Any medications your pet needs

A little prep goes a long way in keeping your outdoor adventure fun, safe, and stress-free for the whole family.
