One of our favourite times of year at Avon Animal Hospital is mare and foal season! 🐴❤️

Each spring and summer, we are fortunate to welcome mares from across the province to our clinic for breeding.

Avon Animal Hospital is proud to work alongside Old Bull Equine Reproduction Services, led by board-certified theriogenologist Dr. Paul Johnston. Through this partnership, mare owners have access to advanced reproductive services and expertise right here at our facility.

Whether you’re planning a breeding for next season or would like to learn more about equine reproductive services, we’d be happy to connect you with Dr. Johnston and his team.

Today we recognize and celebrate the history, heritage, resilience and diversity of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Whether through traditional knowledge or modern contributions, Indigenous communities continue to shape and inspire us. We commit to learning, respecting, and sharing their wisdom.

Happy World Veterinary Day 🐾

Today, we celebrate the incredible veterinarians who dedicate their lives to caring for the animals we love.

At Avon Animal Hospital, we are grateful for our amazing doctors who provide compassionate care to every patient- from playful puppies and curious kittens to beloved senior pets and our cherished equine patients. Their expertise, dedication, and kindness make a difference in the lives of animals and their families every single day.

Veterinary medicine is more than treating illnesses and injuries. It’s about building trust, offering comfort during difficult moments, celebrating healthy milestones, and advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Join us in thanking veterinarians everywhere for the important work they do to keep our animals healthy and thriving. 🐶🐱🐴💙

UPDATE: Despite our teams best efforts, this sweet and brave girls condition declined over the weekend and she was humanely euthanized with our team members at her side, warm, safe and loved.

We thank everyone for sharing and trying to find her owner, who unfortunately has not been located at this time.

It’s cases like these that remind us why we do what we do, and it’s thanks to our community and their donations to our Xyu Fund that we can continue to do our best by dogs and cats like this girl 🩷

A hit by car cat has been brought in in critical condition. She was found at 1341 Ashdale Rd in South Rawdon and does not belong to that home.

She is a long haired brown tabby with orange specks. She appears young. She was found with an apple air tag and the last 4 digits of the phone number associated are 2865.

We are doing our best to stabilize her but really need to speak with her owners. Please call at (902) 798-4633.

*Adopted!*

Calling all 90's kids! Introducing our recess themed litter 😀

These sweeties will soon be up for adoption! The 2 little calico ladies have already been spoken for but they are just too cute not to post.

There are currently 8 kittens with 1 more sibling arriving tomorrow to complete the crew. The litter of 8 was raised in a barn by two mama cats. They came to us as part of our moms last litter program. King Bob was found at a different barn and was bottle raised by a good samaritan. He has taken to his new siblings just beautifully and we're thrilled to see him thrive! Since he was bottle raised, we are going to send him home with another kitten or to a home that has a young cat already to avoid future behavioral issues.

We do always recommend small kittens go home in pairs if there are no cats in the home to avoid single kitten syndrome (We know it sounds made up, but it is very real!)

The litter and King Bob have been tested negative for FELV/FIV. The boys have been neutered, received their first FVRCP vaccines and parasite control. They will each need 2 additional boosters in 1 and 2 months time and we'll make sure their new owners are aware of all the necessary follow-ups.

If you are interested in one (or two!) please email us at [email protected] to apply

🩸🐾 World Blood Donor Day

Today, we celebrate the incredible heroes who help save lives through blood donation, including our four-legged donors!

At Avon Animal Hospital, we are proud to work alongside the Canadian Animal Blood Bank to help ensure life-saving blood products are available for pets in need. Just like in human medicine, blood transfusions can make all the difference for animals facing surgery, trauma, illness, or emergency situations.

We are always looking for new canine blood donors to join this important program. If your dog is healthy, friendly, and meets the donation requirements, they could help save the life of another beloved pet.

Our next blood bank is scheduled for July 28th!

If you think your dog may be a good candidate or would like to learn more about becoming a donor, please contact our team. Together, we can make a lifesaving difference- one donation at a time.
