As the crisp air of fall sweeps across the Pacific Northwest, many of us welcome the cozy season. However, there's a less welcome visitor also seeking warmth and shelter: rodents.

As rats and mice move indoors to escape the colder weather and dwindling outdoor food sources, many homeowners turn to rat and mouse poisons, or rodenticides, to control these pests. Unfortunately, what's lethal for rodents can be just as deadly for our beloved pets.

This increase in rodenticide use during the fall makes it a particularly critical time for pet owners to be vigilant.

As veterinary professionals, we at Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital frequently see the devastating effects of these toxins.

In our latest blog post, we break down why this is such a critical issue and what you, as a pet owner, need to know. Read more: https://bbvsh.com/blog/the-hidden-danger-why-rat-poison-is-a-serious-threat-to-your-pet/

Meet Finnegan 🐾

This brave pup came to see us after a run-in with a raccoon.

Our team gave him pain medication, ran blood work, and carefully clipped and cleaned his wounds. After a bandage, some take-home meds, and lots of love, Finnegan headed home with a very well-deserved Certificate of Bravery!

September 28th is World Rabies Day, and on this day (and every day) prevention makes the difference.

Rabies is a viral disease caused by a Lyssavirus that targets the central nervous system. It spreads through the bite or saliva of an infected animal and can affect dogs, cats, wildlife, humans, and other mammals.

Once inside the body, the virus travels to the brain, causing severe neurological symptoms including changes in behaviour, aggression, paralysis, and death. Once clinical signs appear, rabies is almost always fatal—making prevention essential.

Should your pet require immediate medical assistance, we are available for emergencies 24/7/365, including statutory holidays, and are centrally located just off Highway 1, accessible ~30 minutes from anywhere in Metro Vancouver.

Emergency walk-ins welcome.

Salmon poisoning disease occurs when a dog eats raw or undercooked fish that is infected with a parasitic fluke (Nanophyetus salmincola).

While the fluke itself is relatively harmless, it can carry a parasitic bacterium called Neorickettsia helminthoeca. It is this bacterium that causes salmon poisoning disease.

The types of fish that can carry the infected fluke are typically found in coastal streams and rivers throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Dogs are often exposed during fishing trips, beach outings, or while scavenging near shorelines.

If your dog is showing signs of illness after eating raw fish—or if there’s any doubt—bring them to an emergency veterinary hospital as soon as possible. Time matters.

At Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital (BBVSH) in Surrey, we’re open 24/7 for emergencies. As a VECCS Level 1-certified facility, we are equipped to handle even the most critical medical situations with board-certified specialists and criticalists on staff and on-call, advanced diagnostics, and round-the-clock care.

This Sunday, September 28th is World Rabies Day, a global day of action and awareness focused on preventing rabies in both animals and humans.

While rabies is nearly always fatal once symptoms appear, it is also 100% preventable—which is why vaccination and education remain critical tools in protecting public and animal health.

At Boundary Bay Veterinary Specialty Hospital (BBVSH) in Surrey, we’re reminding pet owners of the importance of keeping pets up to date on their vaccinations, avoiding contact with wildlife, and knowing what to do in the event of a potential rabies exposure.
