🐾 Happy International Cat Day! 🐾 (Obviously I'm going to post for this)

Today, we're celebrating our feline friends and the joy they bring to our lives. Whether they're purring on our laps or playfully chasing toys, cats make our days brighter and our hearts fuller. 🐱💖

Studies have demonstrated that pets improve our mental and physical wellbeing:

1. Stress Reduction: Spending time with an animal can lower your stress levels and help you relax. Just the presence of animals significantly improves blood pressure.

2. Companionship: Pets offer unconditional love and companionship. They’re always there to greet you with a nuzzle or a playful swipe.

3. Mental Health Boost: Interacting with animals can improve your mood and reduce feelings of loneliness. Their playful antics are sure to bring a smile to your face!

4. Routine and Responsibility: Caring for a pet brings structure and routine to your day. It’s a wonderful way to build a sense of purpose and responsibility.

5. Entertainment: From hilarious cat videos to their own quirky behaviors, pets provide endless entertainment and joy.

Take a moment today to give your pet(s) some extra love and attention. Share your favorite pet photos or stories in the comments! 🐾💕

No, I don't think your acne is caused by occasionally indulging in chocolate. In fact, acne (or acne vulgaris) is most commonly caused by the interaction of various host factors including hormones, genetics, inflammation and bacteria.

There is no "one-size-fits-all" treatment for acne because each person experiences different factors that contribute to the development of acne.

Is there a fee for your services?

Yes. Under the Canada Health Act, NPs are not able to bill OHIP for their services. Therefore, there is no way to fund this type of service. This is why it must be fee-for-service.

Fees are reflective of the type of service rendered to the client and the time of the clinician. This business has been structured to keep costs as low as possible.

You may encounter NPs who are part of a clinic or team that is funded by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care. That is why there is no cost associated with their services.
