Pleased to announce this lovely group of ladies certified in Canine Health Canada - Canine Health & Emergency First Aid!

Thank you so much for your extreme patience with Icon's restlessness all morning (although he did his job beautifully) as well as the last-minute switch to my home while our building fully renovates the recreation room.

Wonderful day well spent laughing, sharing and learning. ❤️

There's a lot of things your dog is thankful for - particularly YOU!

Be that owner who is prepared for an emergency with their pet.
Having the knowledge and confidence to respond in that critical moment is not only responsible, but a great act of love. After-all, YOU are their first responder!

Courses are available across Canada and parts of the US with dates added weekly.

Original post from Countryside Veterinary Clinic

Heads up! You may see these green, brown, or black pod-like balls on the ground in your neighborhood at this time of the year. They are nuts from black walnut trees. The picture shows black walnuts in various sizes and stages of maturity and decay. Every part of a black walnut tree (nuts, shells, leaves, and wood) is highly toxic to dogs. The initial symptoms of black walnut poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, and loss of appetite, followed by tremors, seizures, and jaundice. The toxins in black walnut trees can be fatal to dogs if not treated promptly. Do not attempt to use any home remedies if your dog has ingested black walnut. Time is of the essence--get your dog to a vet immediately. (More info in the comments.)

This isn't just a job for us. It's a calling. That's why we work with veterinarians, remain accredited, follow best practices, are insured, and follow the most up-to-date protocols.... because your pet is your family and deserves the very best.

Our website shows exactly what we cover in our primary courses, but feel free to give us a call and ask us questions - after-all, you're investing in peace of mind, safety, and professional care.

Veterinary toxicologists from Pet Poison Helpline have identified a serious new hazard found in popular migraine/headache cooling head masks and similar products!

Pets are at risk if they ingest the contents of these products which can lead to serious neurologic signs and in some cases, death.

If you have similar products in your home, be sure they are always stored safely out of your pet’s reach. Promptly discard any damaged or leaking items. Should an exposure occur, contact Pet Poison Helpline right away. We are here 24/7 to provide guidance and support.

Our team of veterinary toxicologists will be presenting new research at the upcoming North American Congress of Clinical Toxicology (NACCT) meeting in Chicago: Unmasking the Truth about Acrylamide: Chilling Findings from Pet Poison Helpline.
