Ticks, fleas, and mosquitoes are more active during the warmer months.

The safest way you and your pets can enjoy the great outdoors is to make sure they are
protected from the parasites in our area.

Some parasites in pets cause minimal to zero symptoms and only become noticeable
when the infestation has become severe.

If you have not picked up prevention for your pets, our team can help you determine the best protection plan depending on your pets lifestyle and health status.

Isn’t Leo the American Bulldog the most handsome?!
❤️🐶❤️

We are so excited to introduce you to Dr. Kai Moore! Charlotte the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel gave her some welcome cuddles ❤️🐶
Dr. Moore graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2020 after attending the University of Guelph for her undergraduate degree. Her attention to detail and compassion for her patients provides owners with a sense of security when their pets are in her care.
At home, she has an adorable cat named Xander that she describes as, “The most handsome orange cat there ever was.” In her free time, she likes cycling, traveling to new places and trying out different cuisines with her friends.

Fitzroy the Maine C**n looks right at home in her carrier!
The American Association of Feline Practitioners has created a list of helpful tips:
🔵 Make the carrier a regular part of your home by keeping it out in a room where your cat spends a lot of time.
🔵 Include familiar, soft bedding inside the carrier. Bedding or clothing with your scent can make your cat feel more secure.
🔵 Place treats, catnip, or toys inside the carrier to encourage your cat to enter it at home. Often, you will first see that treats are removed from the carrier during the night.
🔵You can also use a synthetic feline pheromone spray or wipe in the carrier, which may minimize anxiety associated with the carrier.
🔵While your cat adjusts to the carrier, don’t coax him to go in – your cat may get suspicious.
🔵It may take days or weeks before your cat starts to trust the carrier. Remain calm, patient, and reward desired behaviors. Be patient!

Did you know ticks remain active even in chilly temperatures, and they can survive in microclimates year-round?
As weather patterns have become harder to predict and milder days are increasingly common, some parasites are now active throughout the year.
Shielding your pet from these threats involves administering parasite prevention and devising a customized plan tailored to local risks, your household and family circumstance, and your pet's lifestyle.
Contact us today to book an appointment for your pet's annual wellness testing or to refill your pet's parasite prevention.

Does your dog get nervous visiting us?
If you’re in the area, we encourage you to stop by with your dog and let them explore our reception area and have some treats. It can help familiarize them with our hospital and reduce stress at future visits.
❤️🐶❤️

We would like to welcome Dr. Benjamin Fuller to our team!
We are excited to announce that he is offering acupuncture services to our dog and cat patients. Most pets do not require sedation for acupuncture, though if your pet benefits from coming in on sedation (Gabapentin, Trazodone, etc.) for their general appointments, they will likely benefit from it during these sessions to reduce stress.
Benny the Shih Tzu was the most pawfect patient and totally at ease during his acupuncture treatment!
More information on this service can be found at dundaswestvets.com under services we offer.

Gnocchi the Sphynx kept himself cozy in the play and hide feature which we have in all of our examination rooms at our cat only hospital.
