Keeping Pets Safe This Autumn!

Autumn is a wonderful time to get outside with your pets, but it also brings a few seasonal hazards. Wild mushrooms can appear quickly in damp yards and along walking trails, so it’s safest to prevent pets from eating any unknown mushroom.

Around the home, keep antifreeze, rodenticides, mothballs, glues and other seasonal project supplies securely out of reach. Compost piles should also be covered or fenced off, as mouldy food can cause serious illness.

As the days grow shorter, reflective collars, leashes or lights can help keep everyone visible during walks. And remember, fleas and ticks remain active in cooler weather, so ongoing prevention is still important.

If your pet may have eaten something harmful, contact us right away, even if they appear well. Bring any packaging, labels or a photo of the item with you, and do not induce vomiting unless directed by a veterinary professional.

Weekly Whiskers & Wags: Meet Molly!

This week we're celebrating Molly, an adorable 11-year-old Havanese whose favourite things in life are simple: spending time with her people and enjoying plenty of cuddles on a cozy bed.

Like many pets, Molly has been dealing with chronic allergies that can make life uncomfortable with persistent itching and irritation. Recently, Molly started a new treatment plan that includes Hill's Derm Complete® nutrition alongside Cytopoint® injections to help manage her allergies and improve her comfort.

We're happy to report that Molly is doing well and enjoying more of what she loves most - snuggling comfortably close to her family.

Skin allergies can significantly impact a pet's quality of life, but with the right combination of nutrition, medical therapy, and ongoing monitoring, many dogs can find lasting relief.

Join us in wishing Molly continued comfort, happiness, and lots of cuddles!

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Grinder, one of Grouse Mountain’s beloved resident grizzly bears.

Our hearts are with Grinder’s dedicated team and everyone at Grouse Mountain who loved and cared for him throughout his remarkable life. We are also thinking of Coola, his longtime companion, as he adjusts to this loss.

Grinder’s legacy will live on through the countless people he inspired to care about and protect wildlife. Rest peacefully, Grinder.

Poor Air Quality and your Pets!

As many of you are aware, the devastating wild fire burning in Pemberton is pushing smoke our way and affecting air quality throughout the Sea to Sky corridor. Poor air quality can impact our pets just as it affects people, and some animals are at greater risk than others.

Pets at higher risk include:
• Dogs and cats with heart or lung disease
• Senior pets
• Puppies and kittens
• Brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds such as Pugs, Boxers and French Bulldogs.

Signs of smoke-related respiratory irritation may include:
• Coughing
• Wheezing or difficulty breathing
• Excessive panting
• Eye irritation or redness
• Lethargy
• Reduced appetite

You can help protect your pets by:
✅ Keeping outdoor activities short and limit strenuous exercise
✅ Walking dogs during times when air quality is better, if possible
✅ Keep your pets indoors with windows and doors closed
✅ Use air conditioning or an air purifier if available
✅ Always ensure fresh water is always accessible
✅ Monitor closely for any signs of respiratory distress

If your pet develops difficulty breathing, collapses, or shows significant respiratory symptoms, please seek veterinary care immediately. We are here for you and all your furry friends should you have ANY concerns.

For your information here is the link where you can check the current air quality advisories for the Squamish area.

This week's Weekly Whiskers & Wags star is Diesel!

If you've visited Garibaldi Veterinary Hospital, there's a good chance you've met Diesel! As the faithful sidekick of his 'Mom' Dina, he's become a familiar face around the clinic, and at 10 years young, he continues to remind us what resilience looks like.

Diesel has faced more than his fair share of health challenges, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), pancreatitis, and an adrenal gland tumour that required an adrenalectomy. Through it all, he's been surrounded by incredible care, unwavering love, and the support of our amazing Squamish community. Dina will always be grateful for the kindness shown during one of the most difficult times in Diesel's journey.

These days, Diesel is happiest exploring local trails, taking in the sights and smells of every adventure. And while he loves the great outdoors, he has one very unusual obsession... cats! Whether it's making friends with them or sneaking off with their toys, Diesel simply can't get enough of anything feline.

Despite everything he's been through, Diesel greets life with enthusiasm, curiosity, and a wagging tail. He's a wonderful reminder that with great veterinary care and a dedicated family, our senior pets can continue to enjoy the adventures they love.

We're so lucky to have Diesel as part of the GVH family and we know many of our clients feel the same.

Give Diesel some love in the comments! And tell us... does your dog have an unusual obsession?

This week's Weekly Whiskers & Wags star is Hurley!

Every pet has that one or more hilarious quirk(s) that makes their family laugh... and she has certainly mastered hers.

Meet Hurley, our resident underwear enthusiast. If her mom accidentally leaves any type of underwear within reach, Hurley doesn't just steal them, she proudly puts them on herself and parades around the house like she's walking the latest canine fashion runway. Needless to say, laundry is never left unattended in Hurley's home!

Beyond her impressive modelling career, Hurley is one of our favourite senior girls to see at Garibaldi Veterinary Hospital. She visits us regularly for 'spa days' aka senior wellness visits for nail trims, vaccinations, and help managing her a**l glands, which can sometimes become uncomfortable for her. Keeping up with her routine care helps her stay happy, comfortable, and ready to strut her stuff, preferably wearing her favourite (borrowed) accessory.

Hurley reminds us that growing older doesn't mean slowing down when it comes to personality. Her sweet nature and hearing about her antics never fails to brighten our day. A huge thank you to Hurley's mom for sharing the photographic evidence of our favourite Victoria's Secret Angel in training, we couldn't stop laughing!

Now we want to hear from you...

What's the funniest thing your pet does? Tell us in the comments, and if you have photo evidence, we'd absolutely love to see it!
