🦟 June 1st marks the first day of heartworm prevention! 🐶🐱

Heartworm disease is spread by mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites an infected animal, it can pick up tiny baby heartworms called microfilariae. That same mosquito can then pass the larvae to another dog or cat through a bite. Over time, those larvae grow into worms that live in the heart, lungs, and blood vessels.

Heartworm disease can cause coughing, trouble breathing, fatigue, weight loss, and in severe cases, heart failure. Cats can also be affected, even indoor cats. Often times, there are no symptoms at all. Which is why we recommend yearly testing!

The good news? Prevention is easy - and much safer (and less expensive) than treatment. Starting prevention on time is one of the best ways to protect your pets this mosquito season. ❤️

Contact us to make sure your pet is covered for the season! 🐾

🐱💕 International Hug Your Cat Day 💕🐱

Today is all about celebrating the special bond we share with our feline friends!

Whether your cat is a professional cuddler, a lap-warmer, or prefers to show affection from a respectful distance, take a moment to appreciate all the joy, comfort, and entertainment they bring to your life.

🐾 Remember:
• Always let your cat decide when cuddle time happens.
• Respect their body language and boundaries.
• Some cats love hugs, while others prefer chin scratches, treats, or simply sitting nearby.

The best way to “hug” your cat is by showing love in the way they enjoy most. ❤️

TBT this week is for our clinic cat, Billa 💙🌈

Billa was the best kind of chaos. He could usually be found stretched out in the sun up front, drinking from the toilet like it was a fine dining experience, chewing through food bags that definitely weren’t his, and somehow convincing multiple staff members he had never been fed before.

He had a special talent for urinating on the most expensive equipment in the clinic, walking past reactive patients at exactly the wrong moment, and sneaking into exam rooms to charm clients into loving him instantly. He kept us laughing every single day.

Even now, we still swear he visits us sometimes — turning on the automatic tap, knocking things over when nobody is around, and reminding us he’s still keeping an eye on the clinic.

He is deeply missed by all of us, and the clinic has never been quite the same without him.

If you have a favourite Billa story or memory, we’d love for you to share it in the comments 🤍

POV: Our vet team is trying to make friends, but Fiona the Frenchie came for business only. 💅🐾

Some pets walk into the clinic tail wagging.
Others give us the “don’t even think about it” side-eye. 👀

No matter their mood, we’re here to make every visit as stress-free, gentle, and fear-free as possible. 💖

Drop a 🐶 if your pet acts personally offended at the vet clinic!

🐾 Adopt a Dog Day 🐾

Somebody’s future best friend is waiting in a kennel right now. ❤️

Adopting a dog doesn’t just change their life — it changes yours too. From goofy zoomies and muddy paw prints to unconditional love, rescue dogs have a way of becoming family fast.

Before you shop, consider adoption. Shelters and rescues are full of amazing dogs of every age, breed, and personality just waiting for a second chance. 🐶

✨ Adopt.
✨ Foster.
✨ Share shelter posts.
✨ Help a dog find home.

Ripley is pictured above who was adopted off kijiji by one of our receptionists, Cara!

Meet Grace 💕🐾

Quite possibly our happiest patient!

Grace doesn’t just come into the clinic… she walks herself in (yes, leash in tow 😄) like she owns the place. Tail wagging, ready for all the attention, and always bringing the best energy with her.

She visits us regularly for her Cartrophen injections to help keep her joints feeling their best-and she handles them like an absolute pro every single time.

We love seeing you, Grace. You make our day a little brighter every visit 💙

🌸 Allergy Season is Here - and Our Pets Are Feeling It 🌸
Itchy skin, red ears, chewing paws, constant licking… sound familiar?
Just like us, dogs and cats can struggle with seasonal and environmental allergies - and we have lots of tools to help them feel relief. 🐾

Here are some common and effective options:

✨ Zenrelia
A new option for long-term itch control in dogs. Helps calm inflammation and reduce overactive immune responses.

✨ Apoquel
Fast-acting relief for itching. Great for dogs who need quick, consistent symptom control.

✨ Cytopoint
An injection that targets itch at the source and can last 4–8 weeks. Ideal for pets who can’t take oral medications or need long-lasting relief.

✨ Hydrolyzed or Novel Protein Diets
Food allergies can look exactly like environmental allergies. Switching to a hydrolyzed protein or a novel protein diet can help identify or manage food-related triggers.

✨ Medicated Baths & Mousse
Shampoos and leave-on mousses help soothe irritated skin, remove allergens, and support the skin barrier. Perfect for flare-ups or part of long-term management.

✨ Preventative Ear Drops
Allergies often lead to chronic ear infections. Regular ear cleaning or medicated preventative drops can reduce yeast, bacteria, and inflammation before it becomes a problem.

Allergies are chronic, but your pet doesn’t have to suffer through every season.
If your dog or cat is itching more than usual, we’re here to create a customized allergy plan to keep them comfortable and happy. 💛🐶🐱
