Island Health has recently informed the public of a rabies positive kitten found in rural Chemainus, which has sparked a lot of conversations with our clients about vaccinating their pets. Link to article below.

It is expected that the kitten was infected by a bat which is consistent with the source of nearly all rabies cases in B.C. in the last 25 years. Rabies is a serious but preventable disease and early intervention is key. Keeping pets up to date with rabies vaccination is important both to prevent infection with rabies, and to improve assessment of pets that demonstrate behaviors that could be compatible with rabies.

Some clients worry about vaccinating their pets but the risk of a vaccine reaction is very low and is far outweighed by the protection vaccines offer against potentially deadly illnesses.

Zoonotic diseases are illnesses that can spread naturally from animals to humans, or vice versa. Preventing fleas and ticks from feeding on your pet significantly reduces the risk of disease transmission, so talk to our team about which preventative medication is best for you family. We have oral and topical products that can be given monthly, or every 3 months, to make protection very easy to administer.

Yesterday, we had the honour of dropping off a car full of pet food donations to the Saanich Peninsula Food Bank, as well as a cheque for $4563 from nail trims done in December!

We are so grateful to our clients who booked their pets in for nail trims, many of whom also donated food for pets in our community.

Our team really worked hard doing almost 140 nail trims in one month! We are so lucky to have such a hardworking, big hearted group of people here, especially our hospital owners Nigel and Jeni who have donated the December nail trim proceeds to various organizations for many years.

The Lions Food Bank services the Saanich Peninsula relying solely on the generosity of the community, without any government funding. Please visit their website splfoodbank.com for information on their services and for ways to donate.
