Sticks may seem harmless, but they can actually pose a risk to dogs. 🐶🪵Chewing on sticks can lead to splinters in the mouth, injuries to the gums, choking, and even pieces getting stuck in the throat or digestive tract. Some dogs may also injure their teeth from biting down on hard wood. If your dog loves to chew or carry sticks outside, it’s a good idea to redirect them to safer alternatives like durable chew toys or pet-safe fetch toys.

If your pet has trouble chewing, is pawing at the mouth, drooling more than usual, or seems painful after playing with a stick, it’s best to have them checked. Call (519) 245-1001 if you’re concerned.

Did you know that in many cultures, black cats are actually considered a symbol of good luck and prosperity? While old superstitions sometimes gave them an unfair reputation, black cats are just as loving, playful, and wonderful as any other feline. Their sleek coats and bright eyes make them truly special companions.

If you’re lucky enough to have a black cat at home, tell us their name or share a photo in the comments, we’d love to see them! 🖤

Even a quick outdoor adventure can expose an indoor cat to parasites, injuries, or infections. If your cat goes outside occasionally, make sure you’re protecting them with:

• Up-to-date vaccinations
• Annual wellness exams
• Microchip + visible ID tag
• Year-round parasite prevention (fleas, ticks and yes, cats can get heartworm)
• Supervised outings (harnesses or a secure yard) and a quick check for ticks/wounds after time outside
