Collars and ID tags are important, but they can break or become lost. A microchip provides permanent identification that stays with your pet.

There's one important catch: your contact information needs to stay current in the microchip registry. If you've recently moved or changed phone numbers, take a moment to update it.

Interested in microchipping your pet? Call (905) 632-0490.

Dental chews can be a helpful addition to your pet's oral-care routine, but they shouldn't completely replace toothbrushing.

Regular brushing helps disrupt plaque before it hardens into tartar. For extra support, ask your veterinarian about dental products that are appropriate for your pet.

Need help getting started with at-home dental care? Call (905) 632-0490.

Pets can't tell us when something feels different, and some illnesses don't cause noticeable symptoms until they've progressed.

Routine bloodwork gives your veterinarian valuable information about organ function, blood cells, blood sugar, electrolytes, and other health indicators. Establishing normal baseline values can also make future changes easier to recognize.

Ask whether early detection testing is appropriate for your pet. Call (905) 632-0490.

🧡 This Thanksgiving, we’re extra grateful for the little things… like Ellie’s enthusiastic visits! 🐾🍂
Just look at that tail wag! Ellie can hardly wait to get through our front doors and greet her favourite team. And judging by all the love waiting for her at reception, the feeling is definitely mutual! 🥰
This Thanksgiving, we’re feeling especially thankful for the wonderful pets and families who are part of the MacKay’s community, and for our amazing team who make every visit a little more special.
From all of us at MacKay’s Animal Hospital, we wish you and your furry family members a happy Thanksgiving filled with love, laughter, and plenty of tail wags and purrs! 🧡🐶🐱

Dogs don't always show stress by barking or trying to escape. Their signals can be much more subtle.

Repeated yawning, lip licking, turning away, trembling, tucked tails, flattened ears, or suddenly refusing treats may all be ways your dog is communicating discomfort.

Learning to recognize those early signals allows us to make experiences more comfortable. Have concerns about your dog's behavior or anxiety? Call (905) 632-0490.

Knocking things off the counter may look like mischief, but cats often use their paws to investigate objects and learn about their environment. Providing toys, climbing spaces, scratching areas, and interactive play can give that curious brain plenty to do. For questions about your cat’s behavior or wellness, call (905) 632-0490.

Rainy weather can leave more than muddy paws behind. Hookworm larvae can survive in warm, moist environments, and pets may be exposed through contaminated soil or f***s.

Consistent parasite prevention and routine testing are important even when your pet looks perfectly healthy. Talk with us about the protection that’s appropriate for your pet.

Call (905) 632-0490 with questions about parasite prevention.

Healthy portions can be surprisingly easy to underestimate. Measuring meals, accounting for treats, and regularly monitoring your pet's body condition can make a big difference over time.

If your pet needs to gain or lose weight, avoid making drastic dietary changes without veterinary guidance. We can help determine an appropriate calorie intake based on their individual needs.

Call (905) 632-0490 for help developing a healthy weight plan.

Why are some dogs obsessed with socks? They’re soft, easy to carry, and smell strongly like their favorite humans. Just remember that socks can become dangerous if swallowed and may cause an intestinal blockage. If your dog eats a sock or another nonfood object, contact us at (905) 632-0490.

🐾 October is RVT Month! 💙❤️
At MacKay’s Animal Hospital, our Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) are an essential part of the care team!
From monitoring anesthesia and assisting with surgery to caring for hospitalized patients, supporting our veterinarians, educating pet parents and providing comfort when pets need it most, our RVTs bring knowledge, compassion and dedication to every day at MacKay’s.
They’re often the ones holding a paw, offering a little extra reassurance, watching closely during recovery or making sure every detail of a pet’s care is just right. 🐶🐱
We’re incredibly grateful for the skill, heart and commitment our RVTs bring to our hospital and to the pets and families we care for.
Happy RVT Month to our amazing team! Thank you for everything you do. 💙🐾
