It is spring allergy season! Check out our blog on allergies!

Spring is in the air, and that means so are a number of seasonal allergens that could be making you and your pet miserable. That’s right: Our pets can suffer the effects of allergies, too. And, like us, if an animal is sensitive to something in his environment or a food he eats, his body will prod...

🐰🌸 Happy Easter from all of us to you and your furry friends! 🌸🐾

Easter is a time for joy, family, and a little bit of chocolate—but while we’re enjoying sweet treats and springtime blooms, let’s not forget about keeping our pets safe and healthy!

🐣 Pet Safety Tips This Easter:

No chocolate or candy for pets – even a little can be dangerous!

Keep Easter grass out of reach – it’s tempting for cats, but harmful if swallowed.

Lilies are beautiful but toxic to cats – opt for pet-safe flowers instead.

Mind the table scraps – rich holiday foods can upset sensitive tummies.

Show your pets some extra love this season with a special treat just for them or an Easter-themed toy! 🧸💕

Wishing you a wonderful holiday filled with love, laughter, and wagging tails! 🐶🐱💕

Upcoming closures: We will be closed for Good Friday, April 18th. We will also be closed Friday, April 25th, to allow our staff to attend valuable Continuing Education. The more we learn, the better we can help you and your pets!

The risk of Lyme disease in Canada is growing.

The third layer of tick protection is to discuss whether Lyme disease vaccination is right for your dog. As we have reviewed this month, it is important to be aware of when ticks are active and avoid locations where ticks can be found.

If you can’t avoid them, make sure to do a tick check on your pet after being in those areas. Remove ticks promptly if they are found. In addition to awareness and avoidance, practicing uninterrupted tick control with a veterinary-approved product further reduces risk.

Finally, Lyme vaccinations are available for dogs. Your veterinarian is the best resource to determine if this vaccine is right for your dog.

Tick Talk is an online hub for everything you need to know about ticks, tick season, where ticks can be found, and tick prevention.

Wellness exams and preventative care help your pet stay healthy and happy! We are celebrating the beginning of spring with special pricing on wellness testing. Current patients who have had an exam within the last year can book in for wellness diagnostic testing (no exam required) and take advantage of these great prices! This offer is for otherwise healthy pets and is meant to be used as a screening tool for early detection of disease. New clients are always welcome (but will require an exam as well)! Call us for more details! These prices are a limited time offer, but will last all Spring!

Gaps in protection open the door for ticks!

The second layer of tick protection includes using a veterinary approved tick control medication throughout the tick risk period.

Tick control medications only work if they are given! We all know this is true, but life is busy and sometimes we forget to remember! It is important to administer your veterinary-approved tick control medication as directed by your veterinarian for the entire tick risk activity period.

Gaps in protection open the door for ticks!
