Soft food for two weeks sounds like an overreaction when your pet seems perfectly comfortable the next morning. Sutured gum tissue needs that fortnight, and a fresh suture line gives none of the pain feedback a sore tooth did. Trafalgar Animal Hospital covers what those days should look like.

Your pet is home with teeth missing, and the first evening looks groggy and drooly. Learn what is normal after tooth extractions and which signs need a call.

🚧🐾IMPORTANT AND EXCITING NEWS 🐾🚧

Due to urgent plumbing issues at our clinic, we need to temporarily relocate while necessary repairs and renovations are completed. We know unexpected changes can be inconvenient, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding while we get everything taken care of.

📅 October 8th – November 12th

During this time, we are still OPEN and seeing appointments! Our entire Trafalgar team will be temporarily seeing appointments at:

📍 Animal Hospital of River Oaks
161 Old Upper Middle Rd W
Oakville, ON L6H 1M2

🩵The good news? You’ll still see the same familiar Trafalgar Animal Hospital team and receive the same care you know and trust — we’ll just be in a different location for a few weeks!

If you have an appointment scheduled between October 8th and November 12th, please come directly to our temporary location at 161 Old Upper Middle Rd W, Oakville.

📞 Our phone number and email will remain unchanged, so you can continue to contact us just as you normally would.

Once the renovations are complete, we’ll be back at our regular clinic location and can’t wait to welcome you home!

Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and continued support!

🩷Everyone meet Mc’Lovin🩷

Mc’Lovin was rescued and, true to his name, he is ALL about the love 😻. When our technician walked into the room, he immediately rolled right onto his belly, ready for some well-deserved belly rubs!

We can’t wait to see him again next year when he is all grown up!

🐾💙 Meet Shoko! 💙🐾

This sweet little guy came in for his FIRST vet visit at just 10 weeks old! 🥹🐶 Our chocolate Lab, Shoko, was the absolute sweetest boy and wasted no time warming up to our team—especially once he realized treats were involved! 🦴😂

He did such a great job at his first visit, and we are already completely smitten with him! 🥰 We can’t wait to see Shoko again in 4 weeks for his next set of booster vaccines and, of course, to see just how BIG he’s gotten! 📏🐾

Welcome to the Trafalgar Animal Hospital family, Shoko! 💙🐶✨

This fluffy girl came in for her annual exam and vaccines and absolutely stole our hearts! 🥰 Dr. Alisha was especially obsessed with Lucy’s fluffy, voluminous tail — honestly, we can’t blame her! 😍🦁

Lucy was such a good girl for her vaccines and was more than happy to accept all the treats as her reward! 💉🦴💕 We loved having this sweet girl in and can’t wait to see her again! 🐶✨

The pet store shelf promises a lot: chews, gels, wipes, water additives, special diets. You do not need all of it, and some of it will not do much at all. Our latest post breaks down which dental home care products earn their spot, and the signs that mean it is time to call us instead.

Wondering if that dental chew or water additive does anything at all? See which pet dental home care products hold up, and know when to call your vet.
