This little face is exactly how most hamster stories should start—cute, curious, and completely stealing your heart 🐹💛

But if we’re being honest, almost everyone has a traumatic childhood hamster story. The kind that gets retold with a laugh and a wince. The truth is, most of it comes down to tiny pets and care that no one really explained well at the time, and it is often completely avoidable.

That is why we are big fans of starting with a husbandry consult. If you are considering a hamster or any small exotic companion animal, we will walk you through habitat setup, nutrition, handling, and day-to-day care expectations. It is also a great way to get kids involved and help them feel confident caring for their pet.

There is just a little over a week left to take advantage of Exotics Health Month perks, including discounted husbandry consultations, veterinary exams, and select diagnostics.

Small pet, big responsibility, and absolutely worth doing right ✨

Meet our newest little visitor - a teeny tiny pug puppy 🐾

She’s so brand new she hasn’t landed on a name just yet, but her owner made sure she came in right away to get her checked over and started on preventatives, exactly the kind of start we love to see 💛

Now, time to have some fun! What name would you deem worthy for the sweetest little wrinkle baby? 👇

Pet insurance is one of the best ways to plan ahead for the “what ifs” 💛

🚑 Unexpected illness or injury can happen at any time. Costs can sometimes delay or limit care, and insurance can help take that pressure off so decisions focus on your pet’s needs, not just finances. 💊 It can also support chronic or age-related conditions.

The key is getting set up before there’s an issue—insurance doesn’t work retroactively. Think of it like car insurance… you can’t sign up after the accident! 🚗

Not sure where to start?🤔
Head to the 'Insurance' page at birchwoodvet.ca to see a few options our clients commonly use. There are many others, so take the time to compare and find what works best for your pet and your lifestyle. Some plans even offer trial coverage after a healthy vet exam, which can help you get started right away (conditions apply).

A little planning now can make a big difference later 🐾

Exotics Health Month is almost here! 🐰🦜🦎

From March 30 – May 1, we’re celebrating all things exotic—because these unique pets deserve care that’s just as specialized as they are.

Rabbits, birds, reptiles and other exotics have very specific needs, and many owners don’t always get the right guidance when they first bring them home. The good news? Small adjustments in diet, habitat, and routine can make a huge difference in their long-term health and happiness.

This is the perfect time to book a wellness exam or a husbandry consult to make sure your pet is truly thriving—not just getting by.

📞 Call 250-561-6500 to reserve your spot!

We’ve got walk-in appointments available throughout the week! 🐾

Spots are first come, first served, or feel free to call ahead to book if you’d rather lock in a time.

CURRENT AND NEW CLIENTS WELCOME!

And yes… the kitten photo is absolutely here to get your attention. It worked, didn’t it? 😸

🌙 Evening appointments are available this week!

We’re offering a few slots for Wellness Visits (like annual check-ups, vaccinations, deworming, and parasite preventatives). Evenings can be a bit quieter, which some pets (especially cats!) really appreciate.

Because these evenings are run with a smaller team, we’re keeping it to routine care only, with no complicated diagnostics, treatments, or tricky/painful procedures.

If your pet fits the bill, this is a great chance to get their basic wellness needs taken care of! 🐾

Call or text us at 250-561-6500 to book your appointment!
