🎃👻 Have a SPOOKTACULAR Halloween! 🐾🧡

Halloween can be full of treats and tricks, but let’s keep our furry family members safe while the little ghosts and goblins are out having fun! 🦇🐶🐱

🎃 A few Halloween safety tips:
🍫 Keep chocolate and candy well out of paws’ reach!
🍬 Xylitol (found in some sugar-free treats) can be extremely toxic to dogs.
🍇 Raisins and grapes are a no-go for our canine companions!
🕯️ Keep lit candles and decorations away from curious noses and wagging tails.
🐾 Make sure pets have a safe, quiet place away from the doorbell, costumes, and trick-or-treaters.
🧡 Ensure your pets have proper identification in case they slip out the door during the festivities.

And remember, costumes are optional, but safety is a must! 👻

From all of us at Sunridge Vet Clinic, we hope you and your two-legged and four-legged family members have a frightfully fun Halloween! 🎃🐾

📸 Share a photo of your pet in their Halloween costume in the comments! We’d love to see your little pumpkins! 🐶🐱🧡

💛 Fearful doesn’t mean unfriendly.

Sweet Jamie, a handsome Golden Retriever, came in for his wellness exam and vaccine update—and like many dogs, he can feel a little overwhelmed in the veterinary setting.

Fearful reactivity can look like barking, backing away, freezing, avoiding eye contact, or becoming extra wiggly. These behaviours are often a way of saying, “I’m not sure about this yet.” 🐾

At Sunridge Veterinary Clinic, we want every patient to feel as safe and comfortable as possible. Giving pets time to settle, using low-stress handling techniques, offering treats and breaks, and allowing them to move at their own pace can make a big difference.

We also always book 30 minutes minimum for every appointment so if a patient needs some extra time there’s no rush!

Jamie did a wonderful job, and we’re so proud of this sweet boy! 💕

💙 RVT Month Spotlight: Katie! 💙

Every great veterinary team needs someone who can step in when they’re needed most — and we’re so lucky to have Katie, RVT! 🐾

Katie helps keep things running smoothly when our regular RVTs are away for holidays, sick days, or a much-needed day off. Her experience, flexibility, and willingness to jump in make such a difference to our team and, most importantly, to our patients.

Thank you, Katie, for being the reliable, knowledgeable, and caring teammate we can always count on! 🩺🐶🐱

We appreciate you not just during RVT Month, but all year long! 💕

🐾 Sunday found the perfect escape route! 🐾

Meet Sunday, a very beautiful black-and-white short-haired kitty who decided our cat wall was the place to be during her visit. 🐱🖤🤍

Our exam-room cat walls give feline patients a chance to climb, perch, hide, and explore — all things that can help cats feel more secure and in control during a veterinary visit.

Instead of being confined to the exam table, Sunday got to take her time and investigate her surroundings at her own pace. And judging by her climbing skills… we think she approved! 😸

Because a calmer cat makes for a happier vet visit. 💕🐾
