Keep Your Emergency Vet's Info Handy

February 14, 2013

We at the Brampton Emergency Veterinary Clinic know that keeping your pets safe and healthy isn’t always an easy. Prepare as you may, some emergency trips are unavoidable. For this reason, it is of the utmost importance to keep your emergency vet’s info handy for times of need.

If you are a regular reader of our Vet News page, you know that there are many hazards waiting but unfortunately our pets often don’t know better. Each season and environment offers its own dangers but you cannot always plan for the unexpected.

Probably the best measure that you can take to ready yourself in case of emergency is to keep your emergency vet’s info at the ready. Program their number into your telephones, and also that of the Pet Poison Hotline should your pet ingest a harmful substance. Also wise is to record the address of the nearest emergency vet so that you can quickly plan the shortest route to the hospital. If you own a smartphone, add them as a contact with this information for quick contact and GPS mapping.

Dog Breed of the Month - Afghan Hound

June 29, 2017
This breed is very majestic and ancient. They are known for their speed. Afghan Hounds actually hunt by speed and sight and not by scent and were bred to track animals like deer and gazelles. They can reach a speed of 65 kilometres an hour. Like a race horse, it’s all in the hips. It is in their nature to chase what they see so a fenced in yard is recommended along with some monitoring. One hour of physical activity a day is required.

Summer Heat Warnings

A pet is most motivated to play and let out some energy when they are in the company of their owner. A playmate is always loved. If neighbours have another dog, go to a park as a group and increase the want to move. Your community might also have some planned activities, or a local dog walker.
