ATTENTION: POWER HAS BEEN RESTORED TO THE CLINIC

The clinic has had its power restored! The clinic will be open tomorrow from 8 am to 5:30 pm.

We will still have to assess the state of our refrigerated inventory so we ask your patience as we sort through the aftermath. This may require some appointments to be rescheduled until new stock has been delivered. We will contact clients directly as required.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

ATTENTION CLIENTS
Lightning during yesterday's thunderstorm caused damage to a transformer providing electricity to the plaza. As a result, there is no power at the clinic.

The clinic will now be CLOSED JUNE 30th due to lack of power. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

The situation is currently still unfolding as we await the landlord to have repairs done. At this time we are hopeful there will be powered restored by JULY 2nd, however, there is a possibility that we may still be closed. Please check back for further updates as we receive them.

Thank you for your understanding and again we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. 😞

We are very lucky to have two wonderful Veterinarians on our team: Dr. Marie Ramoutar and Dr. Elise Bonnema.

Dr. Ramoutar has been the owner of the clinic for the last 5 years. She has worked in different general practice clinics as well as emergency clinics. Dr. Ramoutar has always had a love and passion for animals. She is a firm believer that the owners should always be involved in making decisions for their pet.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Ramoutar spends her time with her children and her pets. Her family is well known for taking in rescues. Be sure to ask Dr. Ramoutar about her pet chinchilla: Jackie Chin, and her chihuahua: Bobbi !

Dr. Bonnema has been at the clinic for the last 2 years. She is a 2022 graduate, and has worked in general practice in Ottawa. Dr. Bonnema takes the time to understand her patients and their owners in order to provide them with the best care. She is always looking for new challenges and to learn something new!

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Bonnema enjoys spending her time reading, crocheting, biking and being outdoors. Dr. Bonnema has 4 pets whom she loves dearly: Theo (dog) , Flynn (dog) , Mozzie (cat) and Ravi (cat).

We would like to to take this time to thank our veterinarians for their hard work and dedication!

Hot pavement can cause burns or blisters on your dog's paws. Before bringing your dog outside, make sure to hold your hand on the pavement for at least 15 seconds to see if the pavement is safe for them to walk on. If it is not safe for your pet to walk on the pavement, you can try taking them to an area with grass or using boots/socks to keep their paws from burning.

Hiking and trail walks are a great way for your dog to get exercise and enrichment, however, many unpredictable things can happen.

Be sure to bring the following; a pet first aid kit, cool water and a water bowl. A cooling vest can also be beneficial to help regulate body temperature and make them more visible on the trail.

Hot cars are extremely dangerous. Leaving your dog in the car while you run into the store can be fatal (yes even with the windows cracked). The temperature in your car can become deadly in a matter of 10 minutes. If the temperature outside is 20 degrees, the temperature in your car will quickly reach 28 degrees! Over 274 pets died due to being left in a hot vehicle during the summers of 2023 & 2024.

If you are planning on leaving your pet in the car be sure to have someone stay in the vehicle with them in order to monitor the temperature.

Let's talk about heat stroke!

With the weather warming up the chances of your pet getting heat stroke increase.

Heat stroke can occur in high temperatures when there is little to no shade or air flow. Long walks or excessive playing while in high heat can also cause heat stroke. Keep outdoor activities to a minimum during peak temperature hours. Try walking your dog early in the morning, or before bed while temperatures are cooler.

Did you know that cats can also experience heat stroke while inside? Providing cool shaded areas indoors and outdoors and access to fresh water are great ways to help your pet regulate body temperature. Cats love to sunbathe, but be sure to monitor their time in the heat, and provide fans as necessary.

If you suspect your pet has heat stroke, check for these signs: dark red gums or tongue, heavy panting (in dogs), excessive drooling, lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea. If you are noticing any of these symptoms, provide small amounts of water to your pet and seek medical attention from a veterinarian right away.

1 in 2 kittens or puppies will experience an illness or an emergency.

Between 3-6 months of age your kitten or puppy will begin teething. With your pet putting everything in their mouth, it can lead to a foreign object being ingested. Foreign object ingestion is very common. Trupanion covers treatment for this if you sign up for insurance before they are 6 months of age.

Getting insurance while your pet is young and healthy is strongly recommended. As they get older accidents can happen and unexpected illnesses can become present. Trupanion does not cover pre-existing medical conditions, therefore we suggest getting insurance while they are healthy in order to get full coverage in case the unexpected happens.

If you have any questions regarding Trupanion please contact the clinic via phone or email.

You can also check out the Trupanion website where help is available 24/7.

This is a friendly reminder that if you are allowing a friend or family member to bring your pet to an appointment we will need written consent. This will allow them to make decisions for your pet and agree to the charges and/or pay for the services.

If they are unable to pay for the charges, an arrangement will need to be made between yourself and the clinic. Examples of arrangements could be: a staff member contacts you at the time of the appointment to receive payment over the phone or via e-transfer. Services will not be able to be provided until payment is received.

Send us a detailed email with the person's full name, the date of your appointment and consent to having them make decisions on your behalf.
