We understand that this Corona Virus issue is at the forefront of everyone's thoughts and we are taking steps to keep as safe and operational as possible. The staff are wearing masks and practicing social distancing. We have also increased our cleaning practices, enabled tap on our POS terminal and are asking if you are sick in any way to refrain from attending our facility. Please send a healthy family member to keep appointments and pick up supplies. We are experiencing a delay in some of our shipments by a day or two but are receiving our orders so no need to overstock at home. Please call ahead before picking up food & medications to ensure we have them in stock before you arrive. We all hope you stay healthy and look forward to calmer times.

Flea control is very important even during the winter months. We are still seeing fleas in the colder months and with it its ugly counterpart the tapeworm. Vancouver Island does not receive the cold necessary (-10 degrees Celsius for 10 days in a row) to eliminate fleas in our environment. We have a variety of flea products to use including Revolution, Bravecto, Advantage, and Primidicide. We recommend deworming your cat at least once a year (more for avid the hunter), however if tapeworm segments are seen we recommend treating two consecutive months in a row. Please come in or call (250-741-0770) to discuss which product is best suited for your kitty.
