Preventative Health Care

The intelligence of the saying ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’ cannot be argued.

For our pets this means regular grooming to avoid disease of the skin, ears, eyes and paws; dental care using special foods, brushing teeth or routine scaling and polishing; heartworm, flea, tick and intestinal parasite prevention; proper nutrition to avoid obesity and nutritional deficiencies; and training, enrichment and exercise to prevent boredom and behaviour problems. Because we are keenly aware of the special bond you share with your pet, we will spend the time to review all of this and more.

FUNFACT:

When a dog is barking and you yell at him to be quiet, what he really hears is that you are barking too! Now he thinks everyone in his “pack” is barking, so it must be the right thing to do. A quick way to hush a barking dog is to quietly but firmly give him a command to do something else, such as sit or lie down.
