🐾 Happy National Mutt Day! 🐶💛

December 2nd is all about celebrating our amazing mixed-breed pups. The quirky, lovable companions who often bring the best of many worlds. Mutts fill shelters in higher numbers, which makes raising awareness and showing them a little extra love so important.

Adopting, sharing photos of your own unique mix, donating to a local rescue, or simply spreading the word, today is the perfect day to pay homage to the one-of-a-kind dogs who steal our hearts. 🐕✨

Give your favourite mutt an extra cuddle today!

On our final day of senior pet month we would like to take a minute to remember a very special kitty. Angel was born on July 31, 2005 and passed away with her dedicated mom by her side on November 6th. She was such a gentle soul who loved treats and of course, attention. Angel has always been a very important member of her family and ours. Please join us in sending our condolences at the loss of sweet Angel, she is certainly missed. 🩷💜

As Senior Pet Adoption Month wraps up, we want to acknowledge the people who look at an older pet and see possibility instead of limitation. 💛🐾

Senior animals don’t ask for much, a soft place to land, a consistent routine, and someone who understands their quieter pace. When you choose to adopt a senior pet, you’re giving them something they can’t ask for themselves: comfort, stability, and dignity in their later years.

To everyone who opened their home to a grey-muzzled friend this month, thank you. Your choice may seem small in the moment, but for these pets, it changes everything. ✨

🐾🫶SENIOR PET FEATURE: MEET ORI, Dr. Smith's beloved old girl!

"19 years young and still running the show! At nearly two decades old, Ori has perfected the art of ruling her household with a velvet paw. She begins each day with First Breakfast at precisely 5:30 a.m. (don’t be late, or she’ll express her displeasure in… creative ways). Her royal dining rules are strict: only a small, fresh serving at a time — any more, and it’s simply “too much.”

Ori enjoys inspecting every meal served at the dining table (quality control, of course), and she graces only the most deserving laps with her presence. After all, seniority has its privileges — and Ori knows it! Here’s to our sassy, elegant, and endlessly entertaining queen of the house this Senior Pet Month."

Thank you for bringing so much joy to your family Ori and helping us spread the word on how fulfilling being a senior pet owner can be! 🐾🫶

🤔Thinking about adopting a new pet, perhaps even a senior pet?! The 3-3-3 Rule is a helpful way to understand what your new companion may experience as they adjust. ❤️

3 days — They may feel overwhelmed, unsure, or extra sleepy as they decompress and take in all the new sights and sounds.
3 weeks — They start learning your routine, feeling a bit more confident, and showing more of their true personality.
3 months — Trust really begins to form. They feel secure, settled, and like a true part of the family.

With patience, consistency, and kindness, your new pet will be sure to flourish. 🐾✨

🐾🫶SENIOR PET FEATURE: MEET TIA!

"Tia (Tina/NeeNee) is nearly 12 years (84 years) old!! She is the happiest, gassiest, friendliest border collie x lab you would ever have the pleasure to meet!
As a youngster, she would endlessly roam the river valley trails - spend hours at the dog park - or at a minimum pull dad around the neighborhood on roller blades 2 times a day!
Now, thanks to the life changing monthly Librela injection, she loves to frolic in the yard, sleep on the couch and chase her orange cat sister, Gwen.
Tina loves to go to the doctor because the staff always give her so many snacks and so many pets!
She is so honoured to be on the senior dog of the month billboard!"

Tia is the perfect example of how a little extra support can go a long way for our senior pets. Since starting Librela, this sweet girl has been able to stay her fun, carefree self, enjoying her days with more comfort and ease. We love seeing our golden oldies thrive! 🐾✨

Thank you Tia, you are always a highlight of our day when you come in! ❤
