Pets can't tell us when something feels different, and some illnesses don't cause noticeable symptoms until they've progressed.

Routine bloodwork gives your veterinarian valuable information about organ function, blood cells, blood sugar, electrolytes, and other health indicators. Establishing normal baseline values can also make future changes easier to recognize.

Ask whether early detection testing is appropriate for your pet. Call (780) 352-6036.

Dogs don't always show stress by barking or trying to escape. Their signals can be much more subtle.

Repeated yawning, lip licking, turning away, trembling, tucked tails, flattened ears, or suddenly refusing treats may all be ways your dog is communicating discomfort.

Learning to recognize those early signals allows us to make experiences more comfortable. Have concerns about your dog's behavior or anxiety? Call (780) 352-6036.

Knocking things off the counter may look like mischief, but cats often use their paws to investigate objects and learn about their environment. Providing toys, climbing spaces, scratching areas, and interactive play can give that curious brain plenty to do. For questions about your cat’s behavior or wellness, call (780) 352-6036.

Rainy weather can leave more than muddy paws behind. Hookworm larvae can survive in warm, moist environments, and pets may be exposed through contaminated soil or f***s.

Consistent parasite prevention and routine testing are important even when your pet looks perfectly healthy. Talk with us about the protection that’s appropriate for your pet.

Call (780) 352-6036 with questions about parasite prevention.

Healthy portions can be surprisingly easy to underestimate. Measuring meals, accounting for treats, and regularly monitoring your pet's body condition can make a big difference over time.

If your pet needs to gain or lose weight, avoid making drastic dietary changes without veterinary guidance. We can help determine an appropriate calorie intake based on their individual needs.

Call (780) 352-6036 for help developing a healthy weight plan.

Why are some dogs obsessed with socks? They’re soft, easy to carry, and smell strongly like their favorite humans. Just remember that socks can become dangerous if swallowed and may cause an intestinal blockage. If your dog eats a sock or another nonfood object, contact us at (780) 352-6036.

Not every pet has the same disease exposure. A dog who regularly visits boarding facilities, dog parks, or hiking trails may have different vaccination needs than a pet with a very different routine.

That's why your pet's vaccination plan should consider their age, health, environment, travel, and everyday activities.

Let's talk about your pet's individual needs at their next visit. Call (780) 352-6036.

This one is just for fun, but there’s one name every pet should always have attached to them: yours!

Cats are experts at finding the coziest spot in the house, and there’s actually a reason they love soaking up the sunshine. Cats naturally prefer warmer temperatures than we do, so a sunny window can be the perfect place to relax and conserve body heat. If you ever notice changes in your cat’s normal sleeping or resting habits, give us a call at (780) 352-6036.

Training is about much more than teaching cute tricks. Positive, reward based training can provide mental stimulation, strengthen communication, build confidence, and help dogs learn behaviors that keep them safe. What’s the most impressive trick your dog knows? For questions about your pet’s health or behavior, call (780) 352-6036.
