Markham Veterinarians For Every Season

December 4, 2014

Now that December is here, you’re probably looking forward to a holiday break from school or work, and spending time with family and friends. As your Markham veterinarians for every season, Markham Veterinary Clinic wants to make sure that your pets have a happy holiday season as well. Whether you’re staying around for the holidays, or taking a trip to see loved ones, make sure your pet is in good health before the festivities start.

For owners that plan to be gone for an extended period of time this month, it’s important that you arrange for proper pet care before you leave. If your pet takes daily medications, be sure they’re up-to-date on their refills and that whoever is coming to feed, water, and walk them knows the proper dosage and how to administer the medicine. Also, it’s smart to leave emergency contact info for your animal’s caretaker, including where you’ll be, how you can be reached, and the number for Markham Veterinary Clinic. Our team is always ready to help in any situation.

Make sure the season is merry and bright for your entire family by looking after your pet’s health with your Markham veterinarians. If it’s been some time since they had an examination, or they’re due for a vaccine, bring them to our clinic before the hubbub and busyness of the holiday season really starts. You’ll have peace of mind, knowing that your pet is in great health and will be well taken care of while you’re gone.
