⚓🐾 Before cats supervised our laptops, they helped supervise ships.

A little maritime history for Columbus Day: sailors kept cats aboard to help protect supplies from rodents—and for companionship on long voyages. A pretty big job for someone who naps that much. 🐱

These days, your pet’s adventures might stay closer to home, but we know how much it means to have them by your side. Our team is here to help keep your favorite companion healthy for wherever life takes you. ❤️

One siren. Twelve backup singers. Not a single one knows the song. 🚨🐕

Happy Howl-O-Ween from our team to your very loud, very talented dogs. We look forward to their next performance in our waiting room. 😂🧡

🍬 “I checked the candy. It wasn’t toxic!”
But did your pet eat the packaging, too? 👀

When pets help themselves to Halloween treats, unwrapping is rarely their strong suit. Even if the candy isn’t toxic, swallowed wrappers can cause choking or an intestinal blockage. That’s one trick nobody wants. 🐾

Our team’s advice? Keep candy AND the crinkly evidence out of reach, including in a secure trash bin.

📞 Missing wrappers and a suspiciously innocent face? Call us or an emergency veterinary clinic promptly if you suspect your pet swallowed one. Don’t wait for symptoms—and seek immediate emergency care for trouble breathing.

🐱📬 YOU’VE GOT MEOW MAIL!

Confirmation emails have been sent for Clyde’s Animal Clinic’s 29th Annual Make A Difference Day Free Cat Spay & Neuter Clinic—Saturday, October 24, 2026! 🐾

Please check your inbox AND spam/junk folder. Some emails have bounced back. If you entered an incorrect email address, we cannot deliver your confirmation. Submitting a registration does not guarantee a surgery spot—you must receive confirmation.

🐈 WAIT-LIST UPDATE: There is a limit of TWO CATS PER PERSON, and each cat requires a separate registration. Entries with multiple cats on one form were excluded by our automated system. Those entries, along with cats beyond the two-cat limit, are on the wait list.

📧 We’ll send weekly emails asking confirmed owners to let us know if they can no longer attend, their cat has gone missing, or surgery is no longer needed. Please reply promptly so another waiting kitty can take that spot!

Before the big day:
✅ Read ALL preparation and aftercare instructions carefully.
✅ Print and complete your cage card.
✅ Write your assigned drop-off AND pick-up times on the card.
✅ Securely attach it to the carrier—ONE CAT PER CARRIER!

Wait-listed cats should only come if we contact you with a confirmed appointment.

Thank you for helping us make a difference, one kitty at a time! 🐱❤️

POV: You’re the treat jar at our veterinary clinic. 👀🐾

The stares. The sniffs. The tiny paws asking for “just one more.” Our patients know exactly where we keep the good stuff—and they’re not shy about it! 😂

We love making veterinary visits a little sweeter, one approved treat at a time. ❤️

🚽🐾 Why Does Your Pet Follow You Into the Bathroom?

Because apparently “personal space” was not included in the adoption agreement. 😂

But there’s some real animal behaviour behind your bathroom entourage.

🐶 Dogs are highly social animals. Staying close to members of their social group can provide security and connection. Plus, dogs are excellent at learning routines—so following you from room to room can simply become part of their daily pattern.

🐱 Cats are territorial and naturally curious. They like keeping tabs on changes within their environment, and that includes where you disappear to. A closed door can also make whatever is happening on the other side suddenly VERY interesting.

In other words, your trip to the bathroom may be boring to you. To your pet, it’s a group activity. 🚽🐾😂

🐾 Pets & Personal Space: A Concept They’ve Chosen to Ignore

Remember when you had boundaries?
Privacy?
The ability to sit down without becoming furniture?
Yeah. Neither does your pet. 😂

🐶 Your 80 lb dog: “Your lap? You mean our lap.”

🚽 You go to the bathroom: Dog: “Seems dangerous. I’ll supervise.”

😴 You try to sleep: Dog: “This pillow looks uncomfortable. I’ll just lie directly on your face.”

💻 You open your laptop: Cat: “Perfect. A warm rectangle specifically designed for my butt.”

🌙 You wake up at 3 a.m.: Cat: 👁️👁️ Two inches from your face. Breathing.

The good news? Pets often want to be close because they feel safe, comfortable, and bonded to us. ❤️

The bad news? You will never go to the bathroom alone again.

Personal space: 0/10
Having a tiny furry stalker who loves you: 10/10 🐾😂

🐾 Why Do Dogs Eat Grass?

A little grass eating can be completely normal. Dogs may nibble grass because they like the taste, want extra fiber, are bored, or are simply following a natural foraging behavior.

But some dogs eat grass because they feel nauseated or have stomach discomfort. We especially pay attention when grass eating is sudden, excessive, frantic, or happens along with vomiting, poor appetite, diarrhea, weight loss, lip licking, gulping, or abdominal pain.

Possible medical reasons can include gastritis or reflux, intestinal parasites, pancreatitis, food intolerance, inflammatory bowel disease, delayed stomach emptying, or other gastrointestinal problems.

The key difference is this:
Occasional grazing is usually harmless. Compulsive grass eating is not normal and deserves a closer look.

And as this surgical case shows, eating a large amount of grass can even form a dense mass that causes a serious gastrointestinal obstruction requiring surgery.

If your dog suddenly starts eating large amounts of grass or develops vomiting, appetite changes, diarrhea, or discomfort, give us a call.
