June 1st is time to start heartworm prevention of your dog! This disease is always very present in the area and we unfortunately see more canine patients afflicted with heartworms each year. This parasitic disease is transmitted from one animal to another by mosquito bites.

Animal carriers of heartworm disease sometimes have very subtle signs at the beginning, but become progressively very weak. Signs of heartworm disease include fatigue, weight loss and a chronic cough. The treatment is very difficult, very risky and very costly.

Preventive medication is recommended from June to November. Your veterinarian can give you advice on the best prevention for your animal to avoid an infection by heartworms.

You can go to this website mypet.com to help you remember your pet’s treatment. Simply register basic information about you and your pet (it takes about a minute) to receive an email or text message whenever it’s time to give your pet’s medication.

Here is a link to keep you informed about real-time positive case per region:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Starting monday, July 6th, we will finally be able to welcome you back into the clinic!

We have put some rules in place to help keep everybody safe and healthy:

🔸 A limit of ONE (1) client per family will be permitted in the clinic to buy products or for appointments (with the exception of euthanasias where two people may be present);

🔸 It is obligatory to wear a mask AT ALL TIMES while in the clinic (if you do not have your own mask we have disposable masks that can be bought);

🔸 Clients must disinfect their hands upon entering the clinic and follow the directions given by members of staff;

🔸 Clients must keep physical distancing of 2 meters.

Our opening hours will also be modified :

Monday – 7:45 am to 8:00 pm
Tuesday – 7:45 am to 5:00 pm

Thursday – 7:45 am to 5:00 pm
Friday – 7:45 am to 5:00 pm
Saturday – 7h45 am to 12:00 pm
Sunday – CLOSED

For clients picking up food and medication, it is still recommended to call ahead to have your order prepared for you, but you may now come into the clinic to pick it up and pay at the counter.

For our large animal clients, we ask that you continue to call in your orders and come pick up from the back of the clinic as you have been since the beginning of the COVID protocol.

We are all adjusting and figuring this thing out together at the same time, so we ask once again for your patience and cooperation as we try to navigate this tricky situation. If you are showing any symptoms of COVID-19 or if you have been exposed to the virus, we ask that you delay your visit.

Thank you to all of our awesome clients for the kindness and support you’ve shown us through this weird period.

See you soon!
