 Summer is one of the best times of year for people and dogs, but if you’re not careful, it can also be a dangerous time for your pup. To make sure everyone has a fun and safe summer, we wanted to remind everyone about some of these common summer dangers.
 Summer might just be our favorite season and we're probably not alone. It’s the best time of year for us to enjoy all sorts of fun outdoor activities. While cats tend to tolerate the heat a little better than dogs, and even prefer it (we’ve all seen a cat stretched out on a sunny windowsill), that doesn’t mean that you should forget about feline heat risks this summer!

Itchy skin is more correctly referred to as “pruritus,” which is defined as an unpleasant sensation within the skin that provokes the desire to scratch. Itchy skin is the result of inflammation or irritation associated with the release of chemicals from inflammatory cells in the skin. When these cells are stimulated by a chemical trigger, they release a variety of chemicals that initiate the discomfort of itching. That is one reason that the more you scratch, the more you itch. The key is to break the cycle, let these 6 surprising itch facts help you with that.
 The unconditional love and devotion pets show their owners is undeniable. So let's celebrate it! Set aside time this April to honor National Pet Appreciation Month with your favorite four-legged companion. Here are 10 reasons why.
 We now carry the Canine influenza vaccine.
It is a vaccine against H3N2 and H3N8 strains of the canine flu.  It’s time for our twice-yearly clock adjustment to save energy and eliminate excuses to wake up earlier. Everyone in Canada, with exceptions within several provinces and the territory of Nunavut, including most of Saskatchewan, which observes Central Standard Time year-round, sets clocks forward one hour at 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of each March. This inevitably causes many Canadians to be sleepy for the next couple of weeks. While we pour an extra cup of coffee to shake off the lost sleep, what effect does daylight savings time have on our dogs?
 A reminder that your pet should be started on Tick and Flea prevention starting March 1, 2018, unless given alternative Tick and Flea prevention instructions in the last 2 months. These recommendations are advised to help keep Ticks and tick related diseases at bay.
