Viewer Discretion Advised ... This is a live tapeworm from a cats rectum. How do pets get tapeworms? The most common would be if they hunt and eat mice, birds, rodents of any kind really can carry tapeworms. Another way would be if they ingest a flea infected with a tapeworm larvae, that once in the digestive system can develop into a adult tapeworm. Prevention and treatment is key! ...

5 Second Rule Pavement Test Is it too hot to stand barefoot OR placing the back of your hand on the path surface for 5 seconds? Then it's too hot for your dog's paws - hot paws burn easily in less than a minute, don't risk it walk them later!

We all want to enjoy this sunshine but be cautious if taking your pet for a walk in this high of temperature.

A little Thursday afternoon laugh!

Such a great organization Tails of Help! If your pet is ill or injured, and you are facing financial hardship due to COVID-19 or other circumstances, then you could fit one of the categories for cases where Tails of Help often are able to provide assistance. This program is for ill or injured family pets, not for homeless or abandoned animals, and not for routine or elective care such as wellness exams, vaccinations, spays and neuters, etc.

Fleas can easily jump from one host to another. If you’ve ever had a flea infestation on your dog and in your home then you know how hard it is to get rid of them. That is why prevention is key. Make sure your pet is protected this parasite season.

Thank you to our amazing Dr. MacMillan and Dr. Harris and all other veterinarians for all the love you give to our furry friends everyday.

We have three types of flea and tick prevention medications because not every pet or lifestyle is the same. Advantix II is one of them, however precautions must be taken if felines are also in the household as it is toxic to cats. Protect your pets today! Contact us through email at [email protected] or call the clinic at 780-987-5780 for more information.

We haven't posted a recall of pet food as majority have been in the US. This one is recalled by Health Canada. The product is for cats and dogs. Follow the recommendations of the Health Canada notice. https://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-/carnivora-dog-cat/

If you find a baby hare, leave it right there! It's that time of year already -- we admitted our first baby hare of 2020 today. If you are ever concerned about... a baby hare, please give our hotline a call at 780-914-4118 and we can give you advice. White-tailed Prairie Hares (aka Jackrabbits) are born fully furred with their eyes open. Hares are born March through September. Many people who find small hares alone during the day think they are orphaned. This is generally not the case. The mother hare leaves her babies alone so as not to attract predators to them. New-born hares stay very still when approached during the day. This is a normal survival strategy. At night, they become much more active and will run, jump and vocalize. Do not pick it up! Baby hares do not do well in captivity. They are prey species (an animal that is eaten by other animals) and are highly prone to stress when captured. It is always better for these babies to be left in their normal surroundings. If you find a baby hare, leave it right there! If you have already collected the baby hare and are wondering what to do with it, please put it back where you found it. Gently rub the baby hare with some grass or leaves to mask the human scent you’ve left on it. Doing this will help protect the baby hare from predators such as cats and dogs that are attracted to human scent. The mother WILL NOT reject the baby if it smells like humans.
