August is Itchy Pet Awareness Month! 🐶🐱
Many things can cause your pets to be itchy, these can include allergies, parasites, bug bites, skin infections, and so many more!
One of the most common causes for itch that we see at the clinic is allergies! Our pets can develop allergies to foods, as well as the environment, just like we can. Allergies can be extremely frustrating for our pets as they are often uncomfortable, which is why it's best to get them seen as soon as you notice any excessive itching!
If you have any questions or think your pet would benefit from a visit to the clinic, please contact us to book an appointment! 🐾

Just remember, keep your pets indoors while fireworks are going off. Some pets may try to take off if they get spooked by fireworks, as the loud noises sometimes scare them. 🐾

This is Leonardo! 🐾
Leonardo was here to visit us for his puppy exam! He was a champ, did amazing for his examination and got lots of love from the staff! 🐶❤️

Puppy and kitten exams are great because they allow us to meet your new puppy or kitten during a low stress appointment. We do an examination to make sure they're in tip top shape, and on top of that they get lots of love (and treats) from the staff! 🐾

Heartworm season starts in the next couple of weeks. Are your pets protected? 🐾
Heartworm is transmitted through infected mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are active from about June to November here in southern Ontario. 🦟
This is why we recommend starting your pet on heartworm prevention now!
We also recommend testing your pet for heartworm disease before the new season starts, which we can do through a quick blood test.
Heartworm disease can be fatal for your pet, as it can develop suddenly. There is treatment for heartworm disease if it is detected early enough, however the treatment can be very expensive. This is why we recommend prevention instead!

We have many preventative options available at the clinic, and we are more than happy to help you find the best option for you and your pet!
If you would like to discuss the options we have or book an appointment for their annual heartworm test please reach out to us at the clinic! 🐱🐶
