🦎🐍 HAPPY NATIONAL REPTILE AWARENESS DAY! 🐒

Let's hear it for the scaley members of the pet world!

Reptiles may not greet you at the door with a wagging tail, but they can make fascinating and rewarding companions.

Today's reminder:

🌑️ Temperature matters.
πŸ’‘ Appropriate lighting matters.
πŸ₯¬ Diet matters.
🏠 Habitat setup matters.

And perhaps most importantly…

What reptile would you love to meet β€” or already have at home?

🐍 Snake
🦎 Lizard
🐒 Turtle

🩺 WHAT DOES A VETERINARY TECHNICIAN ACTUALLY DO?

Short answer: A LOT. πŸ˜‚

Veterinary technicians are an important part of the veterinary healthcare team.

Their day might include:

🩸 Collecting and running laboratory samples
πŸ’‰ Giving medications and treatments
πŸ«€ Monitoring anesthesia
🐾 Helping patients feel safe and comfortable
🩺 Assisting with examinations and procedures
πŸ“š Educating pet parents
πŸ’Š Preparing medications
πŸ“ Recording patient information
❀️ Providing nursing care

And that's just scratching the surface!

The next time you see a veterinary technician working with your pet, know that there's a whole lot of knowledge, training and care happening behind those scrubs.

🐾 THE "LITTLE THINGS" CAN BE IMPORTANT. 🐾

With senior pets, changes can happen so gradually that we don't always notice them right away.

"She's just sleeping more."

"He's always been a picky eater."

"He doesn't jump up anymore."

"They're just getting older."

Sometimes those little changes are worth a conversation.

This weekend, take a few minutes to think about your pet's:
🐾 Appetite
🐾 Weight
🐾 Water intake
🐾 Mobility
🐾 Behaviour
🐾 Sleeping habits
🐾 Bathroom habits

You know your pet better than anyone. If something has changed, let your veterinary team know.

🎨🐾 A LITTLE TEAM TIME OUTSIDE THE CLINIC! 🐾🎨

Our team traded scrubs for paintbrushes for a night of fun and creativity.

It was the perfect opportunity to step away from the busy clinic, spend some time together and discover who has a hidden talent for painting. 🎨

We're lucky to have a team that works hard, supports each other and knows how to have some fun together, too! πŸ’š

🦴 SENIOR PETS & MOBILITY 🐾

Have you noticed your older pet isn't moving quite like they used to?

Maybe they're slower getting up.
Maybe stairs aren't their favourite anymore.
Maybe they're less interested in jumping onto the couch.

Changes in mobility deserve attention β€” even when they seem gradual.

Chiropractic care is one of the services offered at Town Centre Veterinary Hospital and may be considered as part of an individualized approach to mobility and musculoskeletal care.

If you've noticed changes in the way your pet moves, talk to your veterinary team about what may be contributing to those changes and what options may be appropriate.

🐢🐱 "MY PET IS 10… SO THAT'S 70 IN HUMAN YEARS, RIGHT?"

Not exactly!

The old "one pet year equals seven human years" rule is much too simple.

Dogs and cats age at different rates, and things like species, size and breed can influence how their age relates to human aging.

The more important question isn't:

"How old is my pet in human years?"

It's:

"What changes should I be watching for at this stage of my pet's life?"

❀️ Whether they're 3, 7, 12 or 17, every life stage comes with its own care considerations.

How old is your pet? Tell us below!

🦴🐾 SENIOR PETS + ACUPUNCTURE

As pets get older, mobility and comfort can become bigger parts of the conversation.

Acupuncture is one of the services available at Town Centre Veterinary Hospital and may be incorporated into a broader care plan for some patients.

For senior pets, veterinary care isn't only about treating problems when they appear. It's also about looking at mobility, comfort and quality of life as they age.

Every pet is different, which is why treatment plans are individualized.

If you have an aging pet and mobility or comfort has become a concern, ask our team whether acupuncture could be something to discuss.

πŸ‚πŸΎ WHAT IS YOUR PET THANKFUL FOR? πŸΎπŸ‚

It's Thanksgiving weekend, so we thought we'd ask...

What is your pet thankful for? πŸ˜‚

Maybe it's:

πŸ›‹οΈ The comfiest spot on the couch
🦴 Their favourite treat
🌳 Long walks
β˜€οΈ Sunbeams on the floor
🎾 Endless playtime
😴 Naps that last approximately 14 hours
❀️ Their favourite person
🐾 Or simply... being told they're a "good boy/girl" approximately 47 times a day.

Tell us what your pet would put on their Thanksgiving list! πŸ‘‡

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Town Centre Veterinary Hospital! 🧑🐾
