Pet of the Month for August is.. Ribbon!! ☀️

Ribbon is always over the moon to be at the clinic, bringing lots of joy to the staff!

Her owners say, “if you want excitement, enthusiasm and boundless energy in a dog, get a Staffie.
 Ribbon Ann Bows (Ribbon for short) came to us from HugABull Advocacy and Rescue Society in December 2011. We named her Ribbon because she was a Christmas gift to ourselves and she had a white streak of fur running the length of her face that looked like she was adorned in a ribbon.

From the beginning Ribbon had more life in her than the Energizer Bunny. Hilariously, she was kicked out of her first doggy daycare because she had more energy than either the humans or the other dogs could manage. When we took her on hikes, she dared every dog to chase her and not one could catch her. From 2012 on, Ribbon spent several days a week in the north shore mountains on dog hikes until arthritis slowed her down. Now she loves spending time with her moms, her cats, short walks on Grand Blvd, and sussing out the neighbourhood.  For a dog many mistake for a pit bull, and for such a large, commanding looking dog, Ribbon is a sweetheart. She loves humans, children, all the dogs she met on her hikes and the three kittens she help raise. There is not a mean or aggressive bone in her body. Her incredible wagging tail is the only thing that leaves a lasting memory if it hits a bare leg!
Ribbon’s face is now heather grey and her running days are done but she continues to bring a smile and much affection from all who meet her. And she loves to show off her stuffed pizza, popcorn and fox toys to anyone who wants to share in her delight. Anyone who meets Ribbon always remembers her because they remember how much they enjoyed meeting this joyful, sweet girl with a heart of gold and a tail like a whip.”

Pet of the Month for April is.. Gracie! We love when Gracie visits the clinic, she’s a very friendly, happy girl. Here’s what her family has to say:
“ Gracie was born on Jan. 20th, 2020 at Aldor Acres in Fort Langley. Her Mom, Maggi, is a pure bred border collie and her dad a pure bred Australian Shepherd. She was the tiniest of pups when we first visited to meet the puppies but ever so sweet and cuddly. We adopted her and brought her home the day before the province went into lock down due to Covid. We consider that to be a lucky day and, a day later we wouldn’t have had her for months.
Gracie was a loving, playful pup from day one. She moved into our home and was an instant member of our family. Our cat, Indie, was perhaps not quite as excited at first with this pup who always wanted to play and chase her. Indie was wonderful though. She would strike out with her paw but never were her claws out. She loved to taunt Gracie from the counter stools as Gracie couldn’t reach her, yet!
Gracie has always loved the outdoors. She loves walks on trails and to be in the forest, watching birds fly, playing in water and chasing balls, Frisbee and other toys, especially ones that squeak. It sometimes seems she is trying to protect the toys that make noise, like she thinks they might be hurt. She loves the water though only decided swimming was a thing she wanted to do last spring at 4 years old. Her favorite activity is playing ball – chasing, catching and running. She loves her pals: Kona, Emma, Robbie and others she meets in our travels but both they and their humans are her faves. Other games she loves are the Search game using her very acute sense of smell, tricks for treats.
Gracie loves her people family and visitors. She loves to greet and sing to everyone who comes. At home or on the road, she’s happy so long as she’s with her people. She’s a loving, playful, occasionally challenging but always precious member of our family. “

Pet of the Month for March is… Cooper!! Cooper is always a very good boy for his vet visits. Cooper’s family says, “14 year old Cooper is a mischievous and loveable “foodie”. He loves hikes in the woods, swimming at Lynn Creek and, above all else, hunting for treats.”

Our Medical Director, Dr. Cohen, in action! He is examining Ace’s paw with Dental Loups which allows us to get a super close look at areas of interest. Ace is always the best boy and was also being a little camera shy. 🤓 🩵

Pet of the Month for December is.. Gertrude!! 🎄❤️
Here’s what Gertrude’s mom has to say: Meet Gertrude (aka Tiny), our 8-year-old English Bulldog who’s got plenty of sass and even more personality. With a stubborn streak a mile wide, it’s her world, and we’re just lucky enough to live in it. She’s a stick enthusiast, a Mini Wheats and Cheerios connoisseur (with a few dietary restrictions thanks to PLE), and a cuddling expert. Despite her frequent trips to North Shore Vet for arthritis and other purebred perks, Gerty never lets anything slow her down. Funny, fierce, and always ready to give love, she’s the heart of our home—and she knows it!

Pet of the Month for November is.. Scamp!!! Scamp is a very good boy and it is always a pleasure to see him at the clinic! Here’s what his family has to say..
“This 13-year old rescue ‘pup’ is in amazing physical shape, easily walking 5+ km per day on his favourite off-leash trails! He is a big sniffer and loves to be with his ‘peeps’ – at ALL times.
Scamp is a lucky boy, spending lots of time camping and on family vacations as he’s a great traveller – both in the car AND on airplanes (under the seat in front of us)!
As for favourite treats, Scamp loves his freeze-dried chicken and occasionally he gets puppy pepperoni and BabyBel cheese! He is still kind of a ‘puppy’ after all! Our family is grateful to have him and appreciates the wonderful care
North Shore Veterinary Clinic provides.”

Pet of the Month for October is… Lytton!! 🎃
Lytton is a very sweet & petite little lady. Here’s what Lytton’s humans have to say, “Little Lytton literally wandered into our lives when she stumbled into my husband’s campsite in August 2018 in Lytton BC. She was very sick, dirty and likely about 4 weeks old. We quickly brought her to the North Shore Vet Clinic for treatment where her prognosis was sadly not great. The staff fought hard both with excellent care and plenty of cuddles. Six years later, she is still living her best life! She is tiny, shy and rarely speaks. However, she is always ready for a cuddle and a head butt. Lytton also enjoys following her older “cat-sister” Kali around. Kali is still not Lytton’s biggest fan, although we think she secretly loves the attention. We couldn’t be more thrilled that this little miracle kitty wandered into our lives. Thank you North Shore Vet Clinic!”

Pet of the Month for August is.. Amie!!
Amie is famous at the clinic for always wanting to be held and cuddled during her visits at the clinic. 🐱 Here’s what her family has to say..
Back in 2008, we picked up Amie from a house in White Rock that had over 50 other cats living there. Amie was placed in our arms where she immediately snuggled in and instantly became a part of our family. She has always been the sweetest and friendliest cat. In fact, when she was a kitten, she would follow anyone home that would stop to give her a pat and I’d receive a phone call to “come and get your cat”. She’s 16 now and has slowed down a lot. She doesn’t venture far these days. She enjoys sitting out on the deck watching the world go by, laying in the sun and getting snuggles. She has brought our family so much joy and shown us so much unconditional love. We are truly blessed to be sharing our lives with her.
“Cats choose us, we don’t own them”

Pet of the Month for July is… Hastings!!
Here’s what his pet parents have to say:
Hastings was rescued in Kamloops, and moved to Burnaby. He is 13 years old, and he loves spending his time now a days at Grandma’s house. When he was younger, it was all about chasing squirrels and meeting new friends on walks. As the years have gone by, he still likes to make new friends on walks, and he also watches the squirrels now. His little sister loves to steal his bed.

Pet of the Month for May is… Gracie!!!

Gracie is a very sweet, easy going girl and it’s always a pleasure to see her at the clinic. She is very loved by her family. Here’s what her family has to say:

Gracie was found by the SPCA, wandering the streets of Prince George and was then relocated to the Vancouver SPCA where she jumped out of the cage and came to live with us at 10 months of age.

Gracie (or “Gracie Petunia” if she’s in trouble … which is virtually never …) is a very sweet, gentle kitty who wouldn’t hurt a fly (… well maybe a fly … she loves the bugging hour at dusk). She’s a little shy, but a scratch under her chin or cheek will produce the sweetest of purrs.

Gracie is 13 1/2 years old and loves to sleep in till noon, but once she’s up and gets that bug in her brain, she can run around the house acting like a 6 year old. Her favourite thing to play with is a scrunched up bill receipt thrown across the room.

She lives with an obnoxiously friendly American Staffordshire Terrior and an 8 month old SPCA kitty, who would both desperately love to play with her, but if Gracie could talk, she would tell you that “all dogs and kittens are dumb” and will have nothing to do with them.

People are struck by the colour of Gracie’s blue eyes and the softness and colouring of her coat (she has a brown patch of fur shaped like a heart on her right side), but if Gracie could talk she would tell you her most beautiful feature is her beautiful fluffy tail. She loves to strut by you and let you grab her tail as she walks by.

Gracie is not only beautiful, she’s smart too. Anything for a treat - Gracie’s repertoire of tricks include Sit, Turn, Around, High Five, Sit Pretty and Roll Over.

Gracie receives the finest of medical care by all the staff at North Shore. If Gracie could talk, she would say “Thank you, each and every one of you! Your friendly and knowledgeable care is very much appreciated.”

Pet of the Month for April is… Sadie!
Sadie has been coming to North Shore Animal Hospital for her whole life. The past 4 years she has been coming monthly due to needing her zycortal injection for Addison’s disease. She loves to come and only thinks about the treats and love that she gets.

Sadie enjoys chasing a ball, going for long walks, playing with her dog friends, and cuddling with her family. She tolerates the cat, who remains the boss.
