Halloween can be the spookiest night of the year, but keeping your pets safe doesn’t have to be tricky. The ASPCA recommends taking these simple, common sense precautions to keep your pet happy and healthy all the way to November 1. 1. Be Careful with Costumes For some pets, wearing a costume may cause undue stress. If you do dress up your pet for Halloween, make sure the costume does not limit his or her movement, sight or ability to breathe, bark or meow. Check the costume ...carefully for small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that could present a choking hazard. 2. Keep Pets Calm and Easily Identifiable 3. Watch the Decorations and Keep Wires Out of Reach 4. Stash the treats See more

Lost Cat: Ghost is missing in the Smithville area. She is 2 years old, slim build, not declawed with green eyes. If you think you may have spotted her, please call our office at 905-562-9049.

Temperature often drives tick activity. Blacklegged ticks (the ticks associated with Lyme disease), for example, can be active anytime it’s 4C and above. Make sure your dog is on tick control medication for as long as ticks are out there! Our current recommendation for our geographical area is to have year round protection. Call the office if you are unsure if your pet is protected.... #ThinkAgain #12Weeks See more

Karen is proud to be an RVT! "I love the profession because I am always learning! I am lucky to be with a strong group here at the hospital who feel the same way. I enjoy continuing education and learning new hands-on techniques. Surgery is one of my favorite aspects of my day- seeing a pet through prep, monitoring anesthesia, being there with them in recovery and then discharging them to their owners. " Karen commutes to us from Ridgeway where she shares her home with her husband and 2 children, 3 cats, one dog and a few fish which keeps her busy!
