October Is Dental Month 🪥🪥

Have you checked your pet’s breath lately? Does it make you run across the room? The clinical name for bad breath is halitosis and often there is a good reason for it!
The primary cause can be heavy plaque and calculus. In addition, the smell can originate from an infected tooth or dental lesion, which is much more common than most people think. Occasionally the smell isn’t coming from the teeth at all! Severe gum inflammation (gingivitis) can give off a really bad odour, as can a mass in the mouth.

All the above can be seen in both dogs and cats. So if your pet is suffering from bad breath, you can ask your veterinarian for an oral assessment.

During Dental Month at Amherst you will receive a 15% discount on basic dental cleanings for your pet.

🦷 Celebrate dental month with 15% off your pet’s dental cleaning! 🐾

Did you know that a lot of dental issues in pets happen below the gum line, where we can’t see? That’s why regular dental cleanings are important to help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other health problems.

This dental month, we’re offering 15% off basic dental cleanings for your companion—excluding extractions.

🔹 How to book: your pet must have had an exam with your Veterinarian in the last 3 months, and the cleaning must be recommended. Preoperative bloodwork may also be required.

As a thank you we’ll send them home with:
🪥 A goody bag, including a toothbrush and helpful tips to keep their smile healthy.

To schedule your appointment or ask any questions, please contact our reception team at 604-221-7771. 📞

We’ll be closed on Monday, August 4th for the long weekend and will reopen at 8am on Tuesday, August 5th.

If your pet needs emergency care while we’re away, please reach out to:

Festival of Lights is such a beautiful time of year — but for our pets, all those fireworks can be a bit scary. 🎇

If you’re celebrating, here are a few things you can do to help keep your companions safe and calm:

🐾 Keep them indoors (even if they’re usually fine outside)
🎶 Put on some music or background noise to help muffle the bangs
🛏️ Set up a cozy spot where they can feel safe — think blankets, toys, or even just your company
🪪 Make sure their ID tags and microchip info are up-to-date, just in case

If your pet really struggles with fireworks or loud noises, there are things we can do to help. Just give us a call at 604-221-7771 — we’re happy to chat or book an appointment for your pal. 💙

Stay safe and enjoy the lights! 🕯️🐶🐾

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to three incredible humans who help keep this place running — and somehow do it all with humour, heart, and a ton of patience 💛
Happy birthday today to Holly, our amazing assistant manager — we honestly don’t know what we’d do without you. And big (slightly late) birthday love to Maryann Head, RVT, and Dr. Sofronia, who both celebrated last week.
Between the patients and the patience, you’ve all got the perfect blend — even if none of you wanted your photo taken 😅 So we’re going with some old favourites.
We’re lucky to have you.
