Summer is not overyet, but for many people, it’s already time to get ready for school.

And I’m one them. I’m a teacher at Vanier College in the animal health technology department.

20 cats are looking for a home!

Mr. X has rescued 20 feral cats over the past few years. Since then, he has taken care of his gentle felines the best he can.

What to do with these mystic balls?

Puppy kindergarten class; a long term investment!

Summer vacation is often the time where people purchase a new puppy. Why? Because this is the time where a dog needs full time supervision.

Expecting travelling with your dog this summer? What about car sickness?

It is well known that a lot of dogs are miserable from a ride in the car. Vomiting all over your nice car seat, a simple car trip can easily be transformed to a nightmare. Hopefully, many solutions are available for your dog and you!

Your dog has faced a porcupine?

Well, it’s the veterinarian's, technician’s (and dog's!!) worse nightmare.

Boarding, dog park, puppy class, dog show…and Kennel Cough!

'Kennel Cough' or canine infectious tracheobronchitis is the term that is commonly applied to the most prevalent upper respiratory problem in dogs.

Ticks and Lyme disease

Dealing with ticks is one of my most unpleasant experiences. Hopefully, it is usually my technicians that have the duty of removing ticks from our pet’s client!

If you find a tick on your dog, cat (or even on yourself), contact your veterinarian (or physician) to make sure it is removed properly.

Another unattended pet in a car!

I was shocked again to see another unattended dog left in a car in the Loblaws parking lot last week. It was noon, a bright, humid sunny day. Would you leave your kid alone in the car, leaving the windows open slightly, even for 2 minutes?

No! So, why do it when it’s a dog or a cat?

The dog was only 4 years old!

Fido (false name) was presented for partial anorexia of one week duration. This 4 years old, large breed dog, was also drinking and urinating a lot. The client had noticed at the morning appointment, yellow gums.
