We're back from the first ever BARC conference in BC! Dr. Liz had a great talk on rehab (and yes, cats can do rehab too!), we all learned lots, and had some great fun together too. We are back to work today and can't wait to see all your wonderful pets this week.

The clinic is closed September 11 to 14, reopening on the 15th. Staff are off to the 2026 BARC Behaviour and Rehabilitation Conference, where our very own Dr. Liz will be speaking!

Voicemails and emails will be answered when we reopen.

CAM QUIZ!

Play along by writing your answer in the comments, and we will give you the correct answer next week!

Here's the answer to the last quiz question:
What is the primary risk of using an unqualified individual for canine massage?

Options:
A) The session takes too long and disrupts the dog's routine
B) It can accidentally trigger a severe pain flare-up in compensatory muscles
C) It actively speeds up the development of new bone growth (osteophytes) around the joint.
D) It is completely harmless but simply has no physical effect at all

Correct Answer: B) It can accidentally trigger a severe pain flare-up in compensatory muscles.
While gentle stroking at home is comforting, deep tissue manipulation by an unqualified person can cause real harm. A qualified professional understands the underlying anatomy and knows exactly how to treat secondary muscle tightness without agitating the primary arthritic joints.
