👻 Monster of the Week: small villains, big pet problems.

They don’t knock. They don’t need an invitation. And they definitely don’t leave when Halloween ends. Meet the lineup our veterinary team wants you to watch for:

🧛 Fleas: The Tiny Vampires
Their bites can cause intense itching and allergic skin reactions. These unwanted guests can also settle into your home, making consistent, pet-appropriate prevention important.

🕷️ Ticks: The Hitchhikers
They attach to pets and can transmit disease. Check your pet after outdoor adventures and ask us which tick protection fits their lifestyle.

🪱 Intestinal Worms: The Hidden Houseguests
Some pets have no obvious symptoms—and you won’t always see worms in their stool. Stool testing helps us find infections that might otherwise go unnoticed.

🦷 Dental Disease: The Creature Beneath the Gumline
Bad breath isn’t always just “dog breath.” Inflamed gums, painful teeth and trouble chewing deserve a closer look. Home dental care and veterinary dental exams work together to protect that smile.

👂 Ear Infections: The Head-Shaking Haunting
Scratching, redness, odour or discharge can signal a problem. Different causes need different treatments, so skip the mystery drops and let us investigate.

📞 Noticed something suspicious? Call our team to schedule a visit or review your pet’s preventive care. These villains don’t deserve a sequel. 🎬🐾

🐾 We're Hiring! Certified Veterinary Technician (CVT) 🐾

Are you a CVT who enjoys a good dental cleaning, gets excited about a successful blood draw, and has a soft spot for even the spiciest patients? 🐱🌶️

Animal Health Center is looking for a compassionate, motivated, and skilled CVT to join our team!

We're an AAHA-accredited privately owned veterinary hospital that values quality patient care, teamwork, and giving our technicians the opportunity to put their knowledge and skills into practice every day.

🩺 A little about the role:
- Anesthesia, surgery, dentistry, diagnostics, and patient care
- Opportunities to utilize and develop your technical skills
- Collaborating with the veterinarian and fellow team members
- Supporting and mentoring veterinary assistants
- Providing compassionate care to patients of all personalities (including the ones who have very strong opinions about nail trims!)

✨ You might be a great fit if you:
- Are a licensed CVT
- Enjoy learning and expanding your knowledge
- Have strong communication and teamwork skills
- Can stay organized when the day gets a little chaotic
- Bring a positive attitude and a sense of humor to work

📅 Full-time and part-time opportunities available!

If you're passionate about veterinary medicine, enjoy being part of a collaborative team, and appreciate that no two days in vet med are ever quite the same, we'd love to hear from you!

📩 Send us a message to learn more about the position and how to apply.

🎬 THE UNTRIMMED CLAW 🐾
Coming soon to a hardwood floor near you.

Click. Click. Click.
Something is coming down the hallway.
And it desperately needs a nail trim. 😳

The villain? Overgrown nails.
The soundtrack? Impossible to ignore.
The victim? Your legs when someone gets excited to see you.

Long nails can make walking uncomfortable and may snag, split or curl into paw pads. A little routine care can help keep this thriller from becoming a painful sequel.

📞 Call us to schedule a nail trim—let’s give those claws a less dramatic ending! 😂

👻 A haunted house, but it’s a veterinary practice…

Behind every door:
🍫 A dog who ate the entire bag of chocolate. Including the evidence.
🐈 A suspiciously untouched litter box.
🦮 Retractable leashes stretched across the waiting room like tripwires.
🫣 “He doesn’t bite…” whispered from the shadows.
💊 “Did I give Cooper his medication today?”
💻 And somewhere down the hall… “Well, Google said…”

And that’s just the first hallway. 👻😂

All jokes aside, you never have to be afraid to tell our team what happened—or what you’ve read online. Honest details help us care for your pet. 🧡

⚓🐾 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.

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. 🚽🐾😂
