We live for animals at Summeridge Animal Clinic. Whether we’re treating a cat, dog, rabbit, hamster, or guinea pig, we bring the same level of care and expertise to the exam room table. This connection to animal health and wellness is extended via our pet care blogs. Every month we strive to provide relevant information to our valued community of pet owners, and hope that Thornhill, Markham, North York, Richmond Hill, and Vaughan-area pets benefit.

The Sunday snuggles on the couch, the long walks on a beautiful fall day, the unconditional love – some parts of pet ownership are simply amazing. Others, not so much. Many people dread cleaning their pet’s ears, and our staff at Summeridge Animal Clinic often hears the question:  “Do I really have to?”.

While our answer to your question is “Yes”, there are certainly some ways to help make act of pet ear cleaning less of a chore. It is an important part of pet care and something you are very capable of, whether you think so or not!

None of us wants to think about a natural disaster, not to mention any other reason that we’d need to evacuate our homes. But of course, these are prudent things to consider. For those of us with pets, there’s even more to discuss and plan for so that our best friends are taken care of and we have what they need in the event of the unthinkable.

Summeridge Animal Clinic has done some of the preparation for you! Read on for tips and best practices when it comes to planning for emergency evacuations with pets.
