Tiny patients, big personalities 🐥💛

These sweet little ducklings recently came through our clinic after being rescued and brought to safety. After a warm place to rest, supportive care, and lots of peeping, they were on their way to the next step in their journey.

Wildlife babies may look independent, but they often need specialized care to give them the best chance of survival. If you ever find injured or orphaned wildlife, contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or local animal rescue organization for guidance before intervening.

We’re always happy to help where we can — especially when it involves tiny webbed feet and fluffy faces 🦆✨

Clinic cat Nibs recently had a dental procedure and is now on the mend 🦷🐾

What started as a very small fracture on an upper canine tooth ended up causing a painful tooth root abscess hidden below the gumline. Because of the damage and infection, the tooth needed to be extracted to keep Nibs comfortable and healthy.

Dental disease and fractured teeth can be surprisingly hard to spot at home — many pets continue eating normally even when they’re uncomfortable. Regular exams and dental care can help catch these problems early before they become more painful.

Wishing Nibs a smooth recovery and plenty of extra treats (the soft kind for now 😉).

Sometimes our job means being a safe stop along the way 🧡🐾

This sweet orange tabby girl spent the night with us after being rescued by the BC SPCA before heading into their care the next day. We were happy to provide a warm bed, a quiet place to rest, and lots of love while she waited for her next chapter.

Thank you to everyone who helps lost, stray, and vulnerable animals get the care they need — it truly takes a community. 🐱

Fresh cuts, wagging tails, and shedding season officially underway ✂️🌷🐾

These two are feeling their best after their spring glow-ups! A fresh groom can help keep coats healthy, comfortable, and mat-free as the weather warms up.

Don’t forget — spring is also the perfect time to make sure vaccines and parasite prevention are up to date before all those sunny adventures begin ☀️🐕

Griffin the Brussels Griffon was in today for his blood glucose curve 🐾💉

Managing diabetes in our pets takes teamwork, patience, and a whole lot of love—and Griffin is doing amazing! A glucose curve helps us track how his blood sugar levels change throughout the day so we can fine-tune his insulin and keep him feeling his best.

He was an absolute superstar for all his tests (and soaked up plenty of cuddles along the way 💙).

If your pet has been diagnosed with diabetes or you’ve noticed changes like increased thirst, urination, or weight loss, we’re here to help every step of the way. Early management makes all the difference!

Way to go, Griffin! 🐶✨

Spring glow-up season is here 🌸🐾

We’re loving seeing all the fresh trims, desheds, and squeaky-clean pups and kitties this time of year. A little grooming goes a long way—but a little prep goes even further!

Before your pet’s grooming visit, please make sure:
• Vaccines are up to date
• Flea & tick prevention is current

This helps keep your pet, other pets, and grooming staff safe and healthy 💛

Have a pet who finds grooming stressful? We can help with that too. Ask us about safe oral sedation options to make the experience more comfortable for everyone involved.

Call us ahead of your appointment if you have questions or need to get everything up to date—we’re here to help make your pet’s spring glow-up a smooth one ✨

😊😊

May is National Microchip Your Pet Month 🐾

A microchip is one of the simplest ways to protect your pet if they ever get lost. It’s quick to place, lasts a lifetime, and can make all the difference in getting them home safely.

We’ve seen firsthand how powerful this tiny chip can be—reuniting pets with their families when they had no collar or tags.

Already microchipped? Make sure your contact information is up to date—this is the step most people forget!

Not sure if your pet has one or needs an update? We’re happy to help. 💙

😊😊
