How to know if my cat needs a drink? Properly hydrated cat's skin is supple and elastic, if you suspect dehydration, pinch them gently on the extra skin between the shoulder blades to make a tent. When you let go, the skin should snap back to normal within one second or less. If it doesn’t, they're probably not only thirsty but a bit dehydrated, offer them liquids right away. ... If you notice dehydration symptoms in your pet, contact us today and set up an appointment. Text/Call or Email: [email protected]

According to the CDC, COVID-19 can spread from people to animals in some situations, especially during close contact with a person with COVID-19. A small number of pets worldwide, including cats and dogs, have been reported infected with the COVID-19 virus, mostly after close contact with infected people. To protect your pet from the virus, CDC recommends that pet owners and every eligible person in the household should get vaccinated, people with COVID-19 should not have... contact with their pets, and pet owners should not allow pets to come into contact with unvaccinated people outside the household, if possible. The risk of pets spreading COVID-19 to people is low. Under no circumstances try to put masks on pets; masks could harm them.

Here is Dr. Pusong performing a full nose to tail exam on Wilson before giving him his puppy vaccines recently In these troubling times, there's no one who's been there for us quite like our pets. Who else have kept us entertained with games of fetch or hide and seek(double the stakes, when it's the remote..), helped us grow in our cooking skills with taste tests (or even cleaned up after our culinary genius when we've made a mess) or keep us active by taking us on long wal...ks through our neighbourhoods. Now it's our turn to be there for them. This year has meant that many pet parents may have missed their appointments due to closures and fears during the pandemic, but we continue to be open for you and your pets and following the proper health guidelines to keep you and your pets safe and healthy!

Many new pet-parents ask: How am I supposed to know when my furry baby wants to go do their business? Your pup can tell you if they want to relieve themselves, and it's called potty cue". Potty cues begin by showing your pet how to show you when they want to go outdoors. Starting there, your puppy will associate the feeling of peeing and/or pooping with being outside their home. ... Have your puppy sit by the back door, when your pet barks, open the back door and let them out. Would you prefer your pup not barking? Try a bell, a rug or pad, when your pet sits there, open the door so they can go out and do their thing. Set a specific duration to potty so your pooch doesn't think potty time is also playing in the yard time!

The beautiful Rudy was here for a dental procedure with Dr. Pusong Here she is recovering afterward, what a sweetie! Routine dental hygiene care is as important for your pet as it is for you. We educate our clients on proper oral hygiene for their pets with dietary management and home care.... Even though dental disease is common, harmful, and often times quite painful, it is one of the most overlooked diseases in pets because pets don’t always reveal their discomfort. The disease can travel through the bloodstream if left untreated and can cause many problems, including heart, liver, and kidney disease. We’re here to help. We can show you how to brush your pet’s teeth and provide guidance on other ways to prevent dental diseases like dental chews and sprays. We also provide routine examinations and dental cleaning similar to how your dentist cleans your teeth. For more information on dental care, please contact us to book an appointment and to learn more. Text/Call 416-690-0625 [email protected]
