A dog's nose can go from wet to dry throughout the day for perfectly normal reasons, including sleeping, weather, activity, and hydration.

Instead of judging health by nose moisture alone, watch your dog's overall behavior and symptoms.

If a dry nose is accompanied by lethargy, appetite changes, vomiting, discharge, cracking, sores, or other concerns, call (416) 261-3322.

Sometimes gradual weight gain is hard to notice when you see your pet every day.

A healthy body condition involves more than the number on the scale. Your veterinarian can evaluate your pet's ribs, waist, body shape, muscle condition, age, and lifestyle to determine an appropriate weight range.

Wondering where your pet falls? Call (416) 261-3322 to schedule a wellness visit.

Spaying or neutering can provide important health and population-control benefits, but the best timing isn't necessarily identical for every pet.

Age, breed, size, health, and individual risk factors can all play a role in deciding when to perform the procedure.

Have questions about what's appropriate for your pet? Call (416) 261-3322 to talk with our team.

Cats are naturally curious, and batting objects around helps them explore movement, texture, and sound. Unfortunately, sometimes their experiments involve your favorite coffee mug. Keeping breakable or potentially dangerous items out of reach can help curious cats explore safely. For more cat care advice, call (416) 261-3322.

Dog aging isn't quite as simple as multiplying by seven.

Dogs mature rapidly in their first years, and aging rates vary considerably by size and breed. That's one reason veterinary recommendations may change as your dog moves through different life stages.

Want to know what care is appropriate for your dog's current life stage? Call (416) 261-3322.

Every pet has a personality all their own, but behavior can also tell us quite a bit about their wellbeing. Changes in energy, appetite, sleep, sociability, or normal routines are worth paying attention to, especially when they appear suddenly. If something about your pet seems different, call (416) 261-3322. Now describe your pet using only emojis!

Heartworm disease can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs, and blood vessels, and infected pets may not show obvious symptoms early on.

The good news is that heartworm disease is preventable. Staying consistent with veterinarian-recommended prevention and testing gives your pet important protection against this mosquito-borne disease.

Have questions about heartworm testing or prevention? Call (416) 261-3322.

Big or little, every dog has individual needs. Size and breed can influence exercise requirements, nutrition, joint health, dental care, and even how quickly a dog ages. Whatever size pup has your heart, routine veterinary care helps keep them feeling their best. Call (416) 261-3322 to schedule a visit.

Those little treats can add up faster than you think!

Treats should complement a nutritionally balanced diet, not become a major source of daily calories. Keep portions small and remember that chews, table scraps, and training rewards all count toward your dog's daily intake.

Concerned about your pet's weight or nutrition? Call (416) 261-3322.
