Mosquitoes are the silent couriers of heartworm—not other dogs. Just one bite from an infected mosquito can transmit these dangerous parasites that grow up to a foot long in your pet's heart and lungs.

With Canadian summers bringing consistent temperatures above 14°C (mosquitoes' favorite weather), the risk spikes. But here's the good news: heartworm is nearly 100% preventable with easy monthly options like:
🐶 Simparica TRIO (oral chew for dogs)
🐱 Revolution Plus (topical for cats)
or Advantage Multi! (topical for cats and dogs) 🐾

Your pet being protected is what matters.

Protection is always simpler—and more affordable—than treatment. Is your pet covered?

A behind the scenes look at our vets who are forever learning and loving our patients! From unexpected emergencies to the emotional weight of the job, being a vet isn’t easy — and too often, it goes unrecognized.

Here’s to ALL our veterinary colleagues who heal, comfort, and advocate for those who can’t speak for themselves. 💚

🎶 "Who's that Pokémon?" 🎶 Nope, it’s worse—it’s FLEAS! 🚨

Meet nature’s tiny acrobat and your pet’s uninvited plus-one. These little hitchhikers don’t just throw wild parties on your dog or cat; they’ll crash your couch too if given the chance.

Fun(?) fact: A flea can launch itself 150 times its body length—imagine if we could hurdle the CN Tower in a single bound.

Oh, and tapeworms? Fleas are usually the wingmen for that unwelcome relationship.

Pro tip: Keep these Olympic-level jumpers off your pets with regular prevention. Your sofa (and sanity) will thank you.

THROWBACK THURSDAY ❄️ (But Make It Warm?)

Remember last December? When Toronto’s winter felt more like a mild autumn?
Let’s test your memory—how many days in December 2024 were above 0°C?

With warmer winters becoming the norm, parasite season isn’t just March–November anymore. Fleas, ticks, and other uninvited guests don’t take snow days—so neither should your pet’s prevention.
If you guessed 14 days, you got it!

That's nearly half the month that us and our pets enjoyed some warm weather... and when parasites like ticks would've been active too

⚠️Warning, a pretty gross heartworm photo on slide 3⚠️

Think heartworm is just a "warm weather" problem? Think again. These foot-long parasites live in your pet's heart and lungs, causing serious damage if left untreated—and dogs aren't the only ones at risk.

The good news? Heartworm is nearly 100% preventable with simple monthly protection like Simparica TRIO for dogs or Revolution Plus for cats. As mosquito season heats up, now's the time to make sure your pet is covered.

Have questions about prevention? We're here to help.

Just like the sandworms on Dune, ticks track their host by detecting their vibrations (it doesn't matter if you're walking without rhythym or not!)

Ticks can also sense vibrations, heat, CO₂, and body odor.

A popular misconception is that ticks jump on to their hosts, but they can't jump! ❌

Instead, they hitch rides when you brush past foliage (or get pulled in by static electricity!) ⚡

Can you spot Wally the wood tick hiding among these sesame seeds? 🕵️‍♂️ Before feeding, ticks can be smaller than a grain—making them easy to miss during cuddle time.

American dog ticks (like Wally) may not carry Lyme disease, but they can still transmit serious illnesses. And with tick ranges expanding in Ontario, prevention is your pet's best defense.

🧐 Is your cat sporting some suspicious black specks? 🐱

Before you panic, let's play detective:

That "dirt" might actually be flea dirt (a polite term for flea p**p containing digested blood). Test it by wetting the specks—if they turn red/pink, you've got uninvited guests.

Or it could just be cat acne—harmless blackheads caused by clogged pores on their chin. Yes, cats get pimples too!

Knowing the difference means getting the right solution. Have questions? We're happy to help sort it out.
