Let's play Myth vs. Fact! How well do you know your pet health facts?

MYTH: Seasonal allergies only affect pets in the spring and summer.

FACT: Pets can experience seasonal allergies in the fall, too. Ragweed, mould and other environmental allergens can cause itchy skin, paw licking, scratching and irritated ears.

If your pet seems extra itchy this fall, talk to your veterinarian about what could be causing their symptoms and how to help keep them comfortable.

October is RVT Month! 🐾

When your pet visits the veterinary team, you may see your veterinarian but you’ll also meet the registered veterinary technicians who play an essential role in your pet’s care.

From assisting with procedures and running lab tests to educating pet owners and helping your pet feel safe and comfortable, RVTs bring knowledge, skill and compassion to every part of the veterinary experience. They’re an important part of the team caring for your pet from check-in to recovery and beyond. ❤️

This October, join us in recognizing the RVTs who help keep pets healthy and support the people who love them.

Behind every veterinary visit is a team of people who care deeply about animals.

Veterinary teams celebrate the good moments with you: a healthy checkup, a new puppy or kitten, a successful treatment. They’re also there for the difficult moments: unexpected diagnoses, tough decisions and saying goodbye to a beloved pet.

Veterinary medicine is rewarding work, but it can be emotionally demanding, too.

This World Mental Health Day, take a moment to remember the people on the other side of the exam table. A little patience, kindness and understanding can go a long way.

To the veterinary teams who care for our pets every day: thank you. 💙

Cooler weather doesn’t mean tick season is over.

Ticks can remain active well into the fall, even as temperatures start to drop. If your pet spends time outdoors, continue checking them for ticks after walks, hikes or time in grassy and wooded areas. Pay close attention around the ears, neck, legs and between the toes.

A simple vaccine can help protect your pet, your family and your community.

Rabies is a deadly disease that can spread from infected animals to people. The good news? Rabies is preventable through vaccination.

In Ontario, dogs, cats and ferrets three months of age and older are required by law to be vaccinated against rabies.

Not sure when your pet’s next rabies vaccine is due? Speak with your veterinarian.
