Ticks and Parasite Prevention!
Ticks and the diseases they carry have been an emerging concern over the last several years. As the temperatures reach above 0℃, you can be sure that ticks are becoming active and are hungry for a meal! Ticks are unsightly and can be difficult to find on your pet, but most importantly, they can transmit bacteria that cause serious health concerns, such as Lyme disease.
​
Check out tick activity in Orillia and/or your area here: Tick Map
Be prepared! We recommend all pets (dogs and cats that go outdoors) be on a veterinary-approved tick preventative starting in June, and continuing year-round. We would be happy to recommend a product that is right for your pet, and easy for you to administer throughout the season.

Stay safe!
Emergency pet hospitals see a 372% increase in emergency visits every Christmas Eve over other days of the year, and that’s just the pets who got into the holiday chocolate! That figure doesn’t include the pets who scarfed dough ornaments, slurped Christmas tree water, or got into a turf war with Grandma’s poodle under the table at Christmas dinner. But they all boil down to two things - Being naughty and getting into things.
