🐶🐱 Want to know if your furry friend is at a healthy weight? Here are some key points to keep in mind:

🐾 You should be able to feel their ribs under a slight fat covering.

🐾 Your pet should have a visible waistline when viewed from above.

🐾 Your pet should have an abdominal tuck.

🐾 If you can see your pet’s ribs and spine, they are too thin.

🐾 On the other hand, if your pet has no discernible waistline and their belly sags, they’re too heavy.

Ask our team for more information about your pet's body condition.

🐾👩‍⚕️ To maximize the health benefits of spaying your female pet, it's best to do it before their first heat cycle.

🚫 This reduces their risk of developing mammary cancer to almost zero.

🐱🐶 In addition, having a litter can cause health issues for your pet, who may not survive the birth.

🥩🥕🐾 Want to keep your furry friend healthy and happy? It all starts with their diet. After determining your pet's body condition score, take a closer look at what they're eating. Are they getting high-quality ingredients like lean proteins, complex carbs, and healthy fats? Or do they survive on a diet of sugary treats and junk food? 🍭🍪🍩

🐶🐱 Take a hard, honest look at your pet's diet to see if it needs adjusting. Even small treats can add up quickly and provide little nutritional value. Don't hesitate to reach out to us for help. Choosing the right diet for your pet can be tricky, but our team is here to help. Call 403-347-2676 to talk to your veterinarian.

It may seem counterintuitive, but teaching your dog to bark on command can actually help them learn to be quiet.

Speak up — Start by finding a trigger that makes your dog bark naturally. It could be a knock on the door, the doorbell ringing, or even someone saying “Speak.” When your dog barks, reward them with praise and a treat.

Quiet down — Once your dog understands the “Speak” command, introduce a cue for “Quiet,” such as “Enough” or a hand signal. Reward your dog with a treat when they stop barking after you give the cue.

Practice makes perfect — Practice the “Speak” and “Quiet” commands together until your dog can bark and then stop on command. This will help them understand when it’s appropriate to bark and when they should be quiet, giving you more control over their behavior.

🍴🐾 After your pet is spayed or neutered, you may need to make slight adjustments to their diet.

👉 But with the appropriate diet and exercise, spaying or neutering your pet will not affect their weight.

📞Call 403-347-2676 to talk to your veterinarian about your pet's diet and exercise needs.

05/20/2025

🐶🐱 Is your pet having trouble losing weight, even with a healthy diet and exercise? It could be a sign of an underlying health condition. Pets with metabolic and endocrine disorders, such as hypothyroidism or Cushing's disease, may require special prescription diets and management of their condition to achieve weight loss.

🩺🏥 Once the chronic condition is under control, weight loss becomes much easier. If you suspect your pet has an underlying condition, reach out to our team for help. Call 403-347-2676 to talk to your veterinarian.

🐾 Happy May Long Weekend! 🐾

The May long weekend is finally here, and we know you're ready to celebrate! While you're having fun, it's important to keep your furry friends safe.
Here are some quick tips to help you and your pets enjoy the holiday:

1. Protect Them from Fireworks 🎆
Many pets get scared during fireworks displays. Keep your pets indoors in a calm, quiet room to help reduce stress.

2. Stay Cool in the Heat ☀️
Warm weather is wonderful, but it can be tough on pets—especially those with thick coats. Be sure they always have fresh water and access to shade to stay cool.

3. Avoid Harmful Foods 🍫
It’s tempting to share your treats, but avoid giving your pets chocolate, onions, grapes, or fatty foods. These can be toxic and harmful to their health.

4. Need Help? We’re Here for You! 🏥
If an emergency does arise, our hospital is open 24/7 and fully staffed, ready to care for your pets. Please call us at 403-347-3277 if you have any questions or concerns!

🐾💚 Stay safe, and enjoy the extra time with your best friend! 🐾
