National Cupcake Day! 🧁

We’re celebrating by decorating cupcakes to raise awareness and support for the amazing work done by the SPCA 💛

A few of our talented techs baked and decorated these cupcakes themselves (yes… they’re as cute as they are delicious 😍).
Every cupcake helps spark conversations about rescue, animal welfare, and giving pets the second chances they deserve. 🐶🐱🧁✨

Still seeing snow? Ticks don’t care.

Ticks don’t disappear in the winter, they go dormant. And once temperatures hit 0°C or higher, they become active and start searching for a host.

We hear it every year:
“It’s too early for ticks.”

But if it’s above 0°C, it’s not too early.

Lyme disease season doesn’t wait for spring 🌱

Here’s your early reminder:

✔️ Keep your pet on consistent tick prevention (year round is recommended)
✔️ Do a thorough tick check after every walk (ears, between toes, under collars!)
✔️ Be extra cautious around wooded areas and brush
✔️ Need to restart prevention? Call us! We’ll help you get set up
✔️ Take advantage of our Healthy Spring Program, buy 6 months of prevention and receive 15% off
✔️ Want even more savings? Pet Health Club members receive 20% off prevention every month

Staying ahead now is much easier (and more affordable) than treating later 💚

Message us or call the clinic to get your pet covered for the season!

They say we’re only in it for the money…
If that’s true, why does our paycheque look like slobbery kissed, tail wags, and head boops?
We’re in it for them. Always. 💞

Today we celebrate International Day of Women and Girls in Science 🧪🐶

Veterinary medicine wouldn’t be what it is without the incredible women who power it, especially our veterinary technicians, a career path proudly made up predominantly of women. From patient care and diagnostics to advocacy and compassion, their scientific skill and dedication make a difference every single day.

In Canada, 63% of veterinarians are women, highlighting the strong and growing presence of women in veterinary medicine. Within VetStrategy, women continue to lead the way, with 70% of veterinarians and 95% of support staff identifying as female, an incredible testament to the vital role women play across all areas of animal care.

We’re grateful for the women and girls in science who inspire the next generation and help keep our patients healthy and thriving. 💙
