🚨 Canadian Wildfire Smoke Pet Safety Checklist 🚨

📉 Check the AQHI, Canada’s Air Quality Health Index 👉 https://bit.ly/3r8EEXq. If it’s high risk (7+), keep outdoor time strictly to short bathroom trips.

🏃‍♂️ High-intensity exercise in smoky air forces dogs to inhale heavy particulates deep into their lungs. Keep walks low-key and brief.

🚰 Hydration is important as smoke dries out a dog's upper respiratory tract real fast. Keep water bowls filled with fresh, cool water indoors to keep their airways moist. This helps trap particulate matter before it hits the lungs. ✨ Pro tip ✨Drop a little sodium-free bone broth into their bowl if they need encouragement to drink.

🧼 Smoke particles can settle in fur and paws so wipe your pet's fur, paws, and face with a damp cloth after coming inside so they don't ingest ash while grooming.

🏠 Keep that indoor air fresh with closed windows and a HEPA air purifier if possible, and keep indoor enrichment games (like snuffle mats or puzzle toys) active to burn off extra energy inside.

🩺 Know warning signs like excessive coughing, gagging, wheezing, watery eyes, or unusual lethargy. If you spot these, contact your local veterinary team immediately.

We had a great time today at Central Saanich’s 75th Anniversary Party! It was great connecting with community members, catching up with clients and snuggling the few furry friends that snuck in!

🐾 isn't just about extending care to our 4-legged friends, it’s about lifting up and helping out the entire community! 🐾

(honestly, the number of legs is irrelevant to us 😉).

When our team at VCA Canada Alta Vista Animal Hospital (Specialty and Emergency) moved into the new, state-of-the-art facility, we found ourselves with a lot of excellent, decommissioned office equipment that still had so much life left in it. We wanted to make sure it went somewhere it could truly make a difference.

Knowing our friends at the Ontario SPCA and Humane Society Cornwall and Region Animal Centre are currently constructing their brand new, 8,000-square-foot facility, we knew exactly who to call!

Our team loaded up the truck with desks, chairs, and office essentials to help furnish their new space. When they open their doors in early 2027, this incredible expansion is going to double their capacity to care for animals in need in the Ontario region!

Let's show some love for the incredible work the team is doing to build this new haven for local pets! 💙
