🚨🐾 Tick Talk Time! 🐾🚨

Ticks are more than just creepy crawlers—they can spread serious diseases to your pets (and even to you!).

✅ Do regular tick checks after outdoor adventures
✅ Keep grass trimmed to reduce tick habitats
✅ Ask us about safe, effective year-round tick prevention

Found a tick? Don’t panic—remove it carefully with tweezers or a tick tool, and give us a call for next steps.

We have the tools here at Barrie Animal Hospital to help

Let’s keep your pets healthy, happy, and tick-free! 💚🐶🐱

The risks of fleas and ticks are more than itching. They can cause serious health issues for your pets. Get the facts!

🐾 Porcupine Awareness for Pet Parents 🦔

With the warmer months upon us, porcupine encounters are on the rise—especially for curious pets who just can’t resist investigating these prickly creatures. A single close encounter can lead to dozens of painful quills embedded in your pet’s face, paws, or mouth.

Here’s what to do if your pet is quilled:
✅ Do NOT try to remove the quills yourself. They are barbed and can break, causing more damage or infection.
✅ Keep your pet calm and minimize movement.
✅ Seek veterinary care immediately. Time is critical to prevent complications.

Our team at Barrie Animal Hospital is here to help.

🕗 Regular Hours: Monday–Thursday,
8:00 AM – 6:00 PM
🚨 Urgent Care Hours: Friday–Sunday, 12:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Call us at 705-737-1900 if you find yourself in this situation—we’re ready to help your pet feel better fast! ❤️🐶🐱
