🎃🐾 Not Everything Pumpkin Is Pet-Friendly! 🐾🎃

Fall is here, and pumpkins are everywhere! While plain, cooked pumpkin can be a tasty addition to some pets’ diets in moderation, not every pumpkin-flavoured treat is safe for our furry friends. 🍂

Keep an eye out for:
⚠️ Pumpkin spice foods & drinks — Many contain ingredients that aren’t safe for pets.
⚠️ Sugar-free treats — Some may contain xylitol, which is highly toxic to dogs.
⚠️ Decorative gourds & pumpkins — Keep pets from chewing on or eating decorative varieties.
⚠️ Moldy pumpkins — Once pumpkins start to rot or grow mold, they can make pets very sick.

Have a happy, healthy, and PAW-sitively safe fall! 🐾

This September, we’re raising awareness about recognizing pain in our pets. Because the better we understand their signals, the better we can advocate for them. 🐾

🐾 What can your veterinary team do if you think your pet is in pain?

The first step is always getting to know what’s going on.

👩‍⚕️ It starts with an exam and a history.
Your veterinarian will assess your pet and ask questions about what you’ve noticed at home—when the changes started, how they’re progressing, and what your pet is or isn’t doing normally.

🔎 Sometimes, we need to look a little deeper.
Depending on what we find during the exam, your veterinarian may recommend additional testing to help determine what could be causing your pet’s discomfort.

🩻 X-rays can help us evaluate bones and joints and look for certain underlying problems.

🩸 Bloodwork can provide important information about your pet’s overall health and help identify changes that may be contributing to how they’re feeling.

🐾 And did you know we have both in-house X-rays and bloodwork? This allows us to perform important diagnostics right here in our clinic when they’re recommended.

Every pet is different, so not every patient needs the same tests. Our goal is to use the information from your pet’s history, physical exam, and—when appropriate—diagnostic testing to better understand what’s going on and how we can help. ❤️

This September, we’re raising awareness about recognizing pain in our pets. Because the better we understand their signals, the better we can advocate for them.🐾

🐾 Small changes at home can make a big difference.

When a pet is experiencing pain, stiffness, or mobility challenges, everyday things around the house can sometimes become more difficult.

A few simple changes may help make their day a little easier:

🧶 Add non-slip rugs to slippery floors to provide better footing.
🪜 Consider ramps or steps where appropriate to help your pet access favourite places without having to jump.
🛏️ Provide comfortable, supportive bedding in a warm, quiet area where your pet likes to rest.
💧 Keep food and water easily accessible so your pet doesn't have to travel far or navigate stairs to get to them.
🏠 Limit unnecessary stairs or other challenging areas when possible.
❤️ Make favourite resting spots easier to reach so your pet can still enjoy the places they love.

These changes aren't a replacement for veterinary care, but they can be a helpful part of keeping a pet comfortable and supporting their quality of life.

Every pet is different. If your pet is experiencing pain or mobility changes, talk to your veterinary team about what changes may be most appropriate for them.

🐱🐶 Happy National Cat & Dog Gut Health Awareness Day! 💚

Did you know that your pet’s gut health plays an important role in their overall health and well-being?

A healthy digestive system helps your pet digest food, absorb nutrients, and maintain normal bowel movements.

Keep an eye out for changes such as:

💩 Changes in stool
🤢 Vomiting
🍽️ Changes in appetite
💨 Increased gas
⚖️ Unexpected weight changes
🐾 Changes in energy or overall behaviour

An occasional upset tummy can happen, but ongoing or recurring digestive problems deserve attention.

If something doesn’t seem right with your cat or dog’s digestion, our veterinary team can help determine what may be going on and recommend the appropriate next steps. ❤️

Healthy gut. Happy pet. Happier pet parent! 🐾

🐶🐱 If your pet could talk, what would they say? 😂🐾

We have a feeling they’d have a LOT to say…

🍗 “Where’s my dinner?”
🚪 “WHO’S AT THE DOOR?!”
👀 “I definitely didn’t eat that…”
🛋️ “That’s MY spot.”

Now it’s your turn! 👇
Tell us what your pet would say if they could talk! 🐾❤️

This September, we’re raising awareness about recognizing pain in our pets. Because the better we understand their signals, the better we can advocate for them. 🐾

What should you do if you suspect your pet is in pain?

You know your pet best. If something seems different—whether they’re moving differently, acting quieter, eating less, or avoiding activities they normally enjoy—it’s worth paying attention to.

And remember, you don't have to wait until your pet is obviously suffering before asking for help. Early recognition and appropriate pain management can make a meaningful difference in your pet’s comfort and quality of life. ❤️
