Dental disease is very common in cats, including indoor-only cats. Being indoors doesn’t protect cats from plaque buildup, gum inflammation, or painful conditions like gingivitis and tooth resorption. Left untreated, dental disease can lead to infection, tooth loss, and ongoing discomfort. Routine dental exams help identify problems early and keep your cat comfortable and healthy.
📞 Call (613) 678-3678 to learn more about feline dental care or schedule an exam.

Dogs’ ear canals trap moisture, wax, and debris, which can create the perfect environment for yeast or bacteria to grow. Early signs include head shaking, scratching at the ears, redness, odor, discharge, or sensitivity when you touch the ear. Left untreated, ear infections can become very painful and may lead to chronic inflammation, skin damage, or even problems deeper in the ear.

Dogs can vomit occasionally from eating too fast, dietary changes, motion sickness, or getting into something they shouldn’t. But repeated vomiting (more than once), vomiting that lasts over several hours, or vomiting paired with lethargy, not eating, diarrhea, bloating, abdominal pain, or dehydration can signal something more serious like pancreatitis, an infection, toxin exposure, or even an intestinal blockage. Puppies, seniors, and small dogs can also become dehydrated quickly.
📞 If your dog is vomiting repeatedly or seems unwell, call (613) 678-3678 so we can help you decide the next step.

Even a small amount of extra weight can make it harder for a cat’s body to regulate blood sugar and can put added stress on the hips, knees, and spine. Over time, overweight cats may become less active, have trouble jumping, groom less, or seem stiff, creating a cycle where they move less and gain more. The good news? Portion control, measured meals, and daily play sessions (like wand toys, lasers, or food puzzles) can make a big difference in your cat’s health and comfort.

That same history also explains their soft mouth (gentle carrying), strong drive to please, and often a love of swimming. Remember, just because they’re active and social dogs, they thrive with regular exercise, enrichment, and routine wellness care. Such a fun fact!

Because cats are great at masking pain, arthritis often shows up as subtle behavior changes rather than obvious limping. You may notice your cat jumping less (or hesitating before jumping), avoiding stairs, sleeping more, grooming less, hiding more often, or seeming “grumpy” when touched around the hips, back, or legs. Some cats may also start having litter box accidents if climbing into the box becomes uncomfortable. The good news is that arthritis can often be managed with the right plan, helping your cat stay active and comfortable.
📞 If you’re noticing any of these changes, call (613) 678-3678 to schedule an evaluation.

Puppies are born with some immunity from their mom, but that protection fades over the first few weeks of life. Vaccines are given in a series because puppies need repeated boosters to build strong, reliable immunity as that maternal protection wears off. Staying on schedule helps protect against highly contagious (and potentially life-threatening) illnesses like parvo and distemper, especially while your puppy is exploring the world, meeting other dogs, and visiting new places.

📞 Have questions about your puppy’s vaccine schedule or when it’s safe to start socializing? Call (613) 678-3678. 🐾

Since they have small bodies, limited energy reserves, and high metabolisms, Yorkie pups may drop their blood sugar more easily—especially if they skip a meal, get overtired, are stressed, or aren’t eating well. Signs can include weakness, shakiness/trembling, wobbliness, acting “spacey,” unusual sleepiness, or just not acting like themselves. This can become serious quickly in very small puppies.

Consistent meals and routines are important, and young toy-breed puppies often do best with small, frequent feedings and careful monitoring of appetite and energy.
📞 If your Yorkie puppy seems weak, shaky, or “off,” call (613) 678-3678 right away so we can guide you on next steps.

As they grow, pigment develops in the iris and their eye color often begins changing around 6–10 weeks (sometimes continuing for a few months). Some pets keep blue eyes into adulthood, but for many, those baby blues gradually shift to green, amber, hazel, or brown. What color are your pet's eyes?

Did you know that a dog's nose is an incredible detective tool? 🐶👃 With up to 300 million scent receptors, dogs can pick up on changes in our health and other pets in the house before we even realize something's off. If your furry friend is acting differently or seems out of sorts, it might be their way of alerting you to underlying issues.

Dogs are incredible creatures, and their instinct to hide pain is a testament to their survival instincts. In the wild, showing vulnerability can make them prey. Limping, slowing down on walks, trouble jumping, changes in appetite, or increased irritability can all be quiet signals that something isn’t right. Even small behavior changes may indicate injury, arthritis, or illness. Early evaluation can make a big difference in your dog’s comfort and recovery.
