🐶🐾 Meet Oliver! 🐾🐶

How adorable is this little guy?! 😍 Meet Oliver, the cutest 8-week-old Corgi who stopped by for a quick puppy visit today! ❤️ He was full of tail wags, puppy kisses, and lots of charm. 🐕💙

The best part? Oliver is heading home with 30 days FREE of Trupanion pet insurance! 🎉🐾

Did you know pet insurance can help cover unexpected veterinary costs when accidents or illnesses happen? Here are a few great things about Trupanion:
✅ Covers eligible accidents and illnesses
✅ Helps reduce the financial stress of unexpected veterinary emergencies
✅ Can pay participating veterinary hospitals directly for eligible claims
✅ Gives pet owners peace of mind knowing they can focus on their pet’s care

Emergencies can happen when we least expect them. Whether it’s an accident, illness, or unexpected trip to the emergency clinic, we want pet parents focused on helping their furry family member—not worrying about the financial side of care. That’s where Trupanion can help! 🐾❤️
If you have a new puppy, kitten, or pet of any age, ask us about Trupanion and how pet insurance may benefit your family.

🐾🐶 Fun Fact Friday! 🐶🐾

Did you know that Australian Shepherds can help control and guide livestock using nothing more than their eyes? 👀🐑
These intelligent herding dogs use a focused, intense gaze—often called the "eye"—to communicate with livestock and influence their movement. With a simple glance, an Australian Shepherd can direct animals, maintain order, and keep a herd moving with incredible precision and control.
Talk about the power of eye contact! 🐾✨

🐾🐱 Happy National Hug Your Cat Day! 🐱🐾

Today is all about loving, spoiling, and celebrating our feline friends! 💕 Give your cat all the extra cuddles, chin scratches, belly rubs (if they'll allow it 😹), and treats they deserve today.

🐾 Fun Cat Facts:
-Cats can make over 100 different vocal sounds! 🎶
-A cat's purr may help promote healing and reduce stress. 💕
-Cats spend about 70% of their lives sleeping. 😴
-Every cat's nose print is unique, just like a human fingerprint! 👃🐾
-Cats use their whiskers to help navigate and judge spaces. ✨

🐱 Remember, every cat shows affection differently! Some cats love all the extra hugs, cuddles, and attention, while others prefer their love from a distance—and that's perfectly okay. The best way to celebrate is by giving your cat the kind of love they enjoy most. ❤️

📸 We want to see your cats! Drop a picture of your feline friend in the comments and tell us what you love most about them. We can't wait to meet them all! 🐾🐱

Happy National Hug Your Cat Day from all of us here at Uptown Animal Clinic! ❤️🐾

Your pet's ear scratching could be telling you something more 🐾🐶🐱

Has your furry friend been doing a lot of head shaking or ear scratching lately? It might be more than just an itch—it could be ear mites! 🩺
Ear mites are tiny, contagious parasites that love to live in the ear canals of pets. They feed on ear wax and skin oils, causing significant irritation and discomfort for your companion.

Signs of Ear Mites:
• Constant scratching at the ears or shaking the head.
• Dark, crumbly discharge in the ear that looks like coffee grounds.
• Redness or inflammation inside the ear flap.
• Strong, unpleasant odour coming from the ear.
• Sensitivity when the ears are touched.

How They Spread:
• Direct Contact: They are highly contagious and spread easily through close contact with other infected pets. 🐈🐕
• Environment: While they prefer living on a host, they can sometimes be picked up from shared bedding or grooming tools.

If your pet is showing any of these signs, don't wait for them to get more uncomfortable. Call and book an appointment to get them the relief they need! 🏥✨
