Did you know March is Canada's National Tick Awareness Month?

Ticks experience something akin to hibernation, called diapause, during extreme cold temperatures, but the moment that thermometer hits 4°C, they awaken and emerge. Even if there’s still snow on the ground, they’re active and looking for their next host. Ick!

Tick-borne diseases are becoming more prevalent in Ontario and across Canada. Make sure pets who go outdoors are protected! Call, email, or stop by the Hard Rock Animal Hospital today to find out how you can protect your pets this season!

Happy International Tripawd Awareness Day!

Today is March 3, or Triday, a day on which we honor animal amputees and the people who care for them by celebrating pet amputation awareness among pet lovers and the veterinary community. Whether an animal is born with a limb difference, or undergoes amputation for any reason, 3/3 is the best day of the year to showcase the resilient ways that dogs, cats, and other animals face limb loss and life on three legs.

'World Spay Day' began in 1995 as a global awareness day that spotlights spaying (and neutering!) as an effective and humane way to reduce the number of unwanted litters and, ultimately, to reduce suffering for pet dogs & cats, as well as community animals who might otherwise end up hungry on the streets, exposed to the elements, or overcrowding shelters and rescues across the world.

We asked Dr. Kim how many spays she's performed in her career and while she doesn't remember every individual surgery, she figures it's between 1,000 and 2,000. Wow!
