Happy Fathers Day!💙👔🐾

Today, we want to celebrate all the incredible human dads who balance so much—family, work, and the extra love and responsibility that comes with being a pet parent too.

Being a dad means showing up with patience, kindness, and unwavering support, whether it’s for your kids or your furry, feathered, or scaled companions. 🐾

To all the dads who juggle busy schedules but still make time for those wagging tails, gentle purrs, and happy chirps—you inspire us. Your love creates a home filled with warmth and comfort, and your dedication does not go unnoticed.

Thank you for all the quiet moments of care, the extra trips to the vet, and the countless ways you show love. We hope your Father’s Day is as special as the bond you share with your family—both two-legged and four-legged.💙

🦎 Fun Fact Friday: The Bearded Dragon! 🦎

🔹 They Wave Hello!
Beardies are known for their adorable "arm wave," which they use to signal submission or friendliness to other dragons. Yes, it's as cute as it sounds. 👋

🔹 Beard Puff = Mood Detector
When threatened or stressed, bearded dragons puff out their throat and darken their "beard"—which can turn black! It's a built-in mood ring... with spikes. 😲

🔹 Thermal Sunbathers
These desert natives love to bask! They regulate their body temperature by moving between warm and cool areas—just like a living thermostat. ☀️🌥️

🔹 They Can Run on Two Legs!
When they sprint fast enough, some bearded dragons actually lift their front legs and run upright on their hind legs. Tiny dinosaurs, anyone? 🏃‍♂️🦖

🔹 Tail Talk
A gently twitching tail can signal excitement or alertness. It's a little like their version of perking up their ears.

🔹 They Can Change Color
Some beardies can change the shade of their skin slightly to help with temperature control or communication—especially on their chest or back. Chameleon-lite!

🔹 Omnivorous Appetites
Bearded dragons eat both plants and animals—veggies, fruits, and insects like crickets and mealworms. Just no fireflies—they’re toxic! ⚠️

🐉 These reptiles are full of personality and make fantastic companions for responsible pet owners. With the right setup, food, and care, they can live 10–15 years!

Have a beardie or thinking about getting one?
📞 Give us a call—we offer care and advice for your exotic pets!

You’re jokingggg!! LOOK at this face 😍

This not-so-little 10-week-old Lab named Pluto strutted into the clinic today for a visit with Dr. Teal, and within seconds had the entire team in love. 🐾

Dr. Teal casually brought him into the treatment area to “say hi,” and suddenly it was a full-blown Pluto fan club meeting. He’s got the puppy dog eyes, the big paws, the tail wagging— we didn’t stand a chance.

Pluto was an absolute gem for his visit, and we’re only mildly bitter that he didn’t fit in anyone’s pocket to sneak home with.

We can't wait to see you grow, Pluto!❤️

🌈🐾 World Pet Memorial Day 🐾🌈
Today, we pause to honour the cherished pets who are no longer by our side, but who will always live on in our hearts and memories.

At Glenridge Animal Hospital, we know that saying goodbye to a beloved companion is one of the most difficult parts of the journey we share with our animals. Whether they greeted you at the door with joy, stayed close during life’s quiet moments, or simply made the world feel brighter — their love leaves a lasting mark.

🐾 They were more than pets.
They were best friends.
They were family.
They were unconditional love in its purest form. 💙

On this day of remembrance, we invite you to share a photo, a memory, or a tribute to your beloved companion. We would be truly honoured to help remember and celebrate their beautiful lives with you. 🕊️

To those who are grieving, please know you’re not alone. The love you shared never fades — and the bond remains, always. 🌈

🐹 Hammy the Helpful Hamster! 🩺

Say hello to Hammy, one of the most charming patients we've had at our animal hospital! During his visit, this little guy decided he wasn’t just here for care—he wanted to help out too. Hammy kept our Nutrition Advisor, Haley, company while she worked on some important calculations, and we think he may have picked up a few tips himself!

He may be small, but Hammy brought some big smiles to our team.

Thanks for being such a star patient, Hammy—we loved having you with us!💙🐹

Q: What do you call a dog that sneezes?
A: A-choo-wawa! 🤧🐶
(We’ll be here all week, folks.)

Meet Bori, this charming little guy paid us a visit for his annual check-up with Dr. Rachel. As always, he strutted into the clinic and stole everyone's hearts —and probably a few extra treats. 🍖💕

It’s moments like these that remind us how lucky we are to care for your beloved pets. Annual check-ups might seem routine, but they’re a huge part of keeping your furry family members living their best, healthiest lives. From nose to tail, we’ve got them covered!

Sunday Safety Tip: Camping With Your Pup!🏕️🐶 🌲✨

Heading out on a camping adventure with your furry best friend? There's nothing better than exploring the great outdoors together—but don’t forget to keep safety top of mind! Here are a few essential tips to make sure your dog stays happy and healthy on your trip:

✅ ID Tags & Microchip: Make sure your pup has up-to-date ID tags and is microchipped.

💧 Plenty of Water: Bring fresh water and a portable bowl. Lakes and streams can contain bacteria or parasites harmful to pets.

🦴 Pack Their Essentials: Bring enough food, waste bags, a leash, dog-safe bug repellent, and any medications they may need.

🔥 Watch the Campfire: Curious noses can get a little too close to the fire—always keep an eye on your dog around open flames.

🌿 Tick & Flea Protection: Before you go, make sure your dog up to date on their flea, tick and heartworm prevention. Mosquito season is here!

🐾 Respect Wildlife & Other Campers: Keep your dog on a leash or in a secure area to avoid unwanted encounters with wildlife—or neighbouring campers!

🏕️ Comfortable Sleeping Spot: Don’t forget to bring a cozy bed or blanket so your dog can rest well after a long day of exploring!

Camping can be a great bonding experience, and with just a few precautions, it’ll be safe and fun for everyone, including your four-legged friend. 🐾

📸 Got a cute camping pic with your dog? Share it with us in the comments—we’d love to see your adventures!
