Proper Way to Remove a Tick

Woofstock 2011

Are you going to Woofstock this year? Woofstock is the largest outdoor festival for dogs in all of North America! This year it will take place in Toronto on June 11-12, 2011 at St. Lawrence Market Neighborhood. 

When Woofstock launched in 2003, the Toronto Star called it “the summer of canine love”.  What else can you call 300,000 dog lovers and their four-footed friends coming together each year for this wildly popular doggie love-in!

Woofstock is the largest outdoor festival for dogs in all of North America. One year it was beamed around the world on CNN for the entire weekend.  


Quirky and fun, Woofstock is a free admission non-stop party that takes place at our hip, newly expanded location, the historic St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood, home to the world-famous food market as well as the dog-friendly Sunday Antique Market.

Did you know that animals that are overweight live two years less than pets at an ideal weight?  Obesity is fast becoming an epidemic among our pets.  Diet and exercise are the two most important factors in preventing and treating obesity.  We can provide a customized feeding program for your pet and get them back in tip top shape! 

Is your pet’s itching and scratching keeping you awake at night? Spring is the beginning of allergy season as the pollen and mold counts rise. Pets are not born with allergies, they develop with repeated exposure. Chewing, biting, scratching, sneezing, itchy ears and watery eyes may be indications that your pet may have developed some allergies. We have developed a comprehensive plan to address these issues and would be happy to help your pet so they can enjoy the spring season as well.

REFERRAL PROGRAM

Did you know we have a Referral Program? Refer a friend or family member to our facility and receive a Starbucks Gift Card! We appreciate your continued trust in our practice and appreciate you referring your family and friends.

This week is National Pet Week!

Pets provide love, companionship, devotion, and loyalty, enriching the lives of their owners and community in general. It is only right to honor our pets for the joy they bring into our lives. Of course, we should honor our pets every week, but this week plan something special to do with your pet to show them how much you love and appreciate them.

Let your pet start the spring on the right paw by being a responsible pet owner. Exercise your pet on a leash in public areas and be sure to pick up after their accidents. For that outdoor loving cat consider building an outdoor exercise enclosure and keep them safe while keeping your neighbors happy. Don’t forget your annual parasite prevention especially for pets that leave the yard frequently!
