Repeatedly coming out of the cold into the dry heat of your home can cause your pet to have itchy, flaking skin! Keep your home humidified and make sure to towel dry your pet as soon as they come inside, paying special attention to their feet and in-between the toes. Don't forget to remove any snow balls from between his foot pads! www.simcoevet.com/

Dogs definitely see the world differently than people do, but it's a myth that their view is just black, white and shades of gray. While most people can see a full spectrum of colours, dogs do lack some of the light receptors that allow humans to see certain colours.
Today's #TrainingTipTuesday is all about ensuring a smooth litter training journey for your kittens! Let's make sure those tiny paws are on the right track with some helpful tips!
1️⃣ Choose the right litter: Opt for a kitten-friendly, unscented litter. Cats can be picky! 2️⃣ Place the litter box strategically: Set it up in a quiet, easily accessible spot. Cats appreciate their privacy. 3️⃣ Show them the way: Gently place your kitten in the litter box after meals and naps. Encourage exploration! 4️⃣ Be consistent: Stick to a routine. Regular meal times often lead to regular bathroom breaks. 5️⃣ Positive reinforcement: Praise and treats go a long way! Celebrate successful litter box visits with love and rewards. 6️⃣ Number of litter boxes: Ensure you have one more litter box than the number of cats. For example, if you have two cats, provide three litter boxes. Share your kitten's litter training triumphs in the comments!
Let's celebrate those little victories together. . . . #TrainingTipTuesday #SimcoeVeterinaryHospital #KittenTraining
Before: Frankie's pearly whites were in need of some TLC, with tartar buildup and gingivitis causing discomfort and potential health issues.
After: Look at that dazzling smile! Thanks to our expert veterinary team, Frankie's dental surgery was a success, ensuring not just a pretty grin, but also a healthier and happier life!
Did you know that dental health is crucial for our furry friends? Just like us, dogs and cats can suffer from dental issues that, if left untreated, may lead to more severe problems. Regular dental care can prevent pain, infections, and even extend your pet's lifespan!
And here's a friendly reminder about the risks of anesthesia-free dentistry for pets. While it might seem like a convenient option, it fails to address underlying issues and is very unsafe and uncomfortable for pets. Anesthesia allows for a thorough examination, including radiographs so we can see what's happening below the gumline, ensuring that any teeth needing to be removed are extracted safely. At Simcoe Veterinary Hospital, we prioritize the health and happiness of your furry family members.
Schedule a dental exam today and let's keep those tails wagging and whiskers smiling! . . . #PetDentalHealth #SimcoeVetCare #SimcoeVeterinaryHospital #BarrieVeterinarian #DentalGlowUp
