Not only is licensing your cat or dog the law, but it can also help return your pet to you if they are lost or injured. When you receive your pet's license, you will also receive a tag that can be attached to their collar. Your municipality's animal control will use the information on the tag to get your pet back home.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Every municipality has its own by-law, but most follow the same principles. All cats (including indoor cats) and dogs must be licensed. Some also require that ferrets be licensed as well.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
In order to receive a license, you must present proof that your pet's <a href="http://pickeringanimalhospital.ca/services.html" re_target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="border: none; color: #ee500c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">rabies vaccination </a>is up to date.

<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The cost of licenses varies, but most municipalities offer discounts for pets that have been spayed/neutered and an additional discount if they have been microchipped. Proof of sterilization and microchipping must be provided to receive these discounts. Licenses are required annually, but some municipalities offer lifetime licences for pets that have been microchipped. </div>

Puppies are furry bundles of joy. But they will need some training starting from the first day you bring them home. First, you want to house train them. Remember that puppies have small bladders and will need to go to the washroom frequently. Bring your puppy outside often and reward them with a treat or praise for going outside. Be consistent! Crate training can help with house training. The crate should be a comfortable space for your puppy, but only large enough for them to turn around in. Puppies will not go to the washroom where they eat and sleep. If you bought a large crate to accommodate a growing puppy, use a box or blankets to make it smaller.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Socializing your puppy is also very important. Giving your puppy positive experiences with people along with other cats and dogs will help them grow up to be friendly dogs. Most training centres offer classes for puppies which focus on socialization and basic commands.</div>

<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Cats can be easily trained to use a litter box. Start by placing the litter box in an area that's easily accessible to your cat. Show your cat where the litter box is and give praise and/or treats when your cat uses it to go to the washroom. Cats often need to eliminate right after waking up, after exercise and after eating. Bring your cat to the litter box regularly to help encourage proper use. It's important to clean the litter box regularly since cats won't use a dirty litter box. If they box isn't clean, your entire home may become a potential washroom site.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Like dogs, cats also need to socialized. Exposing them to children, other cats and dogs and people at an early age can make them less fearful and more open to positive interaction.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Both cats and dogs need to be <a href="http://pickeringanimalhospital.ca/services.html" rel="nofollow" style="border: none; color: #ee500c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">spayed/neutered</a>. Spaying/neutering your pet offers different health benefits. It can also help prevent unwanted kittens/puppies, make your pet less aggressive and less likely to wander.</div>

It's tempting to think caring for a pet is possible even if you can't afford the upfront retail price. Think again. In the case of owning a dog, the purchase price doesn't compare to the cost of keeping it healthy and happy throughout its life.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Before bringing it home, you will need to be prepared. That means buying dishes, collars, leashes, beds, crates, toys, etc. Then there is the cost of feeding it. Large breed dogs can easily consume a huge bag of dog food a month.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Training classes are also essential. Dogs need to be taught basic commands and the ability to socialize with other dogs and people.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Your dog will also need regular<a href="http://pickeringanimalhospital.ca/" re_target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="border: none; color: #ee500c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"> trips to the vet </a>for annual check-ups and<a href="http://pickeringanimalhospital.ca/services.html" re_target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="border: none; color: #ee500c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">vaccinations</a>. Puppies visit the vet far more frequently as they need their initial vaccinations and de-worming. They also need to be spayed/neutered, typically around 5-6 months of age. </div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
You'll likely spend upwards of $1,000 in the first year of your dog's life for these essentials.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Also, if your dog becomes sick or injured, bringing them back to health can be costly. That's why many people are opting into insurance plans. Several companies offer pet insurance, and each has different packages available, offering varying levels of coverage. Simple plans can cover accidents only, with a cap on the amount that is covered. More deluxe plans can cover every trip to the vet, including check-ups and examinations. As with all types of insurance policies, it's important to read the fine print. Most plans won't cover pre-existing conditions and have limits to the amount they will cover.</div>

The raw food diet in particular has become more popular in recent years, but many veterinarians are wary of this trend.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Proponents of raw diets report their pets have shinier coats, healthier skin, cleaner teeth, higher energy levels and smaller stools.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
However, feeding your dog a raw diet comes with risks and may give rise to various health issues if it doesn't receive a properly balanced and nutritious diet. </div>

<strong style="border: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Consider the following:</strong></div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
* Raw meat contains bacteria, which can harm you and your dog. Also, meat alone can't provide all of the nutrients that your dog needs. This is why leading companies include vegetables and various supplements in their pet foods. Doing so increases the chances your pet will experience and maintain optimum health. </div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
* Bones are often a big part of a raw diet, but they introduce the risk of choking, breaking teeth or causing intestinal problems.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Some pet owners also feed their pets table scraps. This is risky when considering many foods that are fine for humans are toxic for cats and dogs. Foods that are toxic to pets include, but are not limited to chocolate, coffee, macadamia nuts, grapes, raisins, yeast dough, onions, garlic, and sugarless gum. Your best bet is to keep the "people food" on the table and give your pets treats that are specifically designed for them.</div>

The spring and summer months offer opportunities to have fun with our pets in the great outdoors. However, the warmer months also increase the risk of ticks. Ticks can attach themselves to your pet and suck their blood until they are full. In addition, ticks can also transmit illnesses including Lyme Disease. </div>

<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Cats and dogs are at risk for ticks every time they go outside. Ticks will climb up blades of grass, tall weeds, etc. and when an animal passes by, the ticks can easily attach themselves to an unsuspecting pet.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Prevention is key. Keep cats indoors to minimize their exposure. If you also own a dog, check it regularly, as ticks can move from one pet to another. Look between the toes, inside the ears, in their "armpits", and around their neck. Avoid allowing your dog to spend time in wooded areas or long periods of time outside.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Also, there are prevention medications available from <a href="http://pickeringanimalhospital.ca/services.html" re_target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="border: none; color: #ee500c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">your veterinarian </a>designed to make your pet undesirable to ticks. There are many options, including spot-on treatments, oral medications, shampoos, dips, collars, powders and sprays. Some treatments are available at the pet store, while others are only available at your veterinarian's office. Caution, however, is needed when choosing a treatment/medication since some are toxic to cats.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
If you spot a tick on your pet, you need to remove it immediately. Apply rubbing alcohol to the area, then use a pair of tweezers to remove the tick. Place the tick in a jar of alcohol to kill it. Removing it may not get the entire tick and the tick may have already transmitted a disease to your pet, so you need to make an appointment with your vet immediately.</div>

People understand obesity in humans is a problem that can lead to serious health issues. However, when some people see an overweight pet they may think it's funny. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
But pet obesity is no laughing matter. Allowing your pet to be overweight puts its overall health at risk and may well be the symptom of a serious underlying issue. </div>
<div class="related-stories">
<div class="content-wrap">
</div>
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
Carrying around that extra weight can lead to many problems for your pet. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
Cats and dogs that are obese face a substantially higher risk of osteoarthritis, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, respiratory disease, kidney disease and cancer. It can also lead to a decreased life expectancy. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
Dogs of all ages and stages of life need to be kept at a healthy weight. Increased weight has a tendency of exerting too much pressure on the hips and joints of younger dogs, which may cause problems later in life. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
Older dogs can become lethargic and are not able to exercise as they once did. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
A pet's ideal weight range is based on the breed. Within each breed, there can be quite a range between the bottom and top ends, allowing for different heights, muscle mass and more. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
Talk to your <a href="http://pickeringanimalhospital.ca/" re_target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">veterinarian </a>and discover what your pet's weight should be. Having your pet weighed at every visit to the vet's office can help you monitor their weight and take action when the scale tips out of their favour. Weight gain can also be a symptom of an underlying issue. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
Just like humans, diet and exercise are key to keeping your pet's weight under control. Regular walks are essential, not only to keep extra weight from creeping on, but to maintain their stamina and improve their cardiovascular systems. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
The vets at Pickering Animal Hospital can help you get your pet's weight back on track. They can tell you if you need to put them on a <a href="http://pickeringanimalhospital.ca/services.html" re_target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">diet food,</a> or if you are just feeding them too much. They can also test for conditions that can cause weight gain, such as thyroid issues. </div>

It's easy to let your heart melt when you see that stray kitten or cat around your home. You could feed it and provide it shelter - what harm could it do to let it live with you? The truth is, it can cause harm to the other cats living in your home. </div>
<div class="related-stories">
<div class="content-wrap">
<span> </span></div>
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
Cats who spend a great deal of time outdoors are at risk for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus).</div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
FIV weakens a cat's immune system, making is more susceptible to secondary infections. Symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes, fever, anemia, weight loss, poor appetite, diarrhea, inflammation of the eye, gums/mouth, dental disease, skin redness or hair loss, wounds that don't heal, sneezing, and changes in behaviour. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
The virus is slow acting, and may take years for symptoms to appear. It is transmitted through bites - which can occur when cats fight. There is no cure for FIV, and veterinarians are only able to treat the secondary infections. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
FIV is often confused with FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus), a different virus that also affects a cat's immune system. In addition to impairing the immune system, FeLV also causes certain types of cancer, including lymphoma and fibrosarcomas. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
The symptoms can be similar to FIV, with anemia, diarrhea and inflammation of the mouth/gums. Other symptoms of FeLV include weight loss, ear and skin infections, fever, and wobbly or uncoordinated movement. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
FeLV is transmitted through contact such as bites, grooming, sharing dishes or litter pans, or just being in close contact. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
It's important to take your cat to the <a href="http://pickeringanimalhospital.ca/" re_target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">veterinarian</a> if they show any of these symptoms to determine if they have either virus. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
These viruses can be life threatening. Testing is highly recommended in outdoor cats, especially if they are showing signs of illness. </div>
<div class="printable-text">
</div>
<div class="printable-text">
The <a href="http://pickeringanimalhospital.ca/#staff" re_target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">veterinarians </a>at Pickering Animal Hospital can run tests to determine if your cat or the neighbourhood stray has either of these viruses and can recommend treatment options. </div>

Fleas are tiny parasites that bite your pet in order to feed off their blood, leaving an extremely itchy spot on their body.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: currentColor; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Fleas don't just live on animals, but also in the animal's environment. They are able to jump an incredible distance relative to their size, up to two feet! </div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: currentColor; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
Your pet can pick up fleas from being in close proximity to another animal with fleas, by visiting a home with fleas, or from a furry guest visiting your home that has fleas. In fact, every time your pet leaves the house, they are at risk - at the dog park, visiting the groomer or the boarding kennel.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: currentColor; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
The parasites thrive in warm, humid environments, making them far more common in the summer months.</div>

You may find the following travel tips helpful when planning your journey:</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: currentColor; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">

<div class="printable-text" style="border: currentColor; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
2. Call the train company or airline well in advance to find out if pets are allowed on board. Ask what rules/regulations must be followed.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: currentColor; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
3. The car. Make sure that your pet is not roaming freely. An unsecured pet on your lap may cause an accident and could be thrown around the car, potentially leading to serious injury or death. To avoid this, place your pet in a kennel or restrained it with a specialty pet safety belt.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: currentColor; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
4. Don't forget to bring enough food and water for the trip. Also, make sure you have a leash for bathroom breaks.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: currentColor; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 10px; padding: 0px;">
5. If crossing the border, you need to confirm your pet will be allowed to cross with you. Each country has their own requirements about what information,<a href="http://pickeringanimalhospital.ca/services.html" re_target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="border: currentColor; color: #ee500c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">vaccinations </a><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and documentation are needed to allow your pet entry. </div>

6. Also, if travelling abroad, some countries may require testing which needs to be conducted months ahead of your travel date.</div>

Mosquitoes can carry heartworm disease. One simple bite from a mosquito can transfer immature worms to a dog. These worms may then grow up to 30 cm in length and spread to your dog's lungs and heart. If not treated, heartworms can cause severe damage to the organs, which may result in death.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
The answer? Preventative medicine. Consider the following:</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
According to "Heartworm in dogs in Canada in 2010", a study published by the Ontario Veterinary College's Department of Pathobiology, the occurrence of heartworm in dogs has increased by 60% since 2002. Of the 564 dogs that tested positive in Canada, 431 of them were in Ontario, and 80% of the dogs that were infected were not treated with preventative medication. </div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
Of the 20% that were medicated, some owners missed doses. Also, it should be noted vomiting or diarrhea will affect absorption of the medication and, therefore, may neutralize the potency of the medication. Pills that get spit out won't work either.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
These facts drive home the point that both owner vigilance and diligence are extremely important in the prevention of heartworm disease.</div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
So, what's the first step you should take to ensure your dog is heartworm free this spring? Simple. <a href="http://pickeringanimalhospital.ca/services.html" re_target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="border: none; color: #ee500c; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Get your dog tested</a>. The test is essential, even if your dog was on preventative medication last year. </div>
<div class="printable-text" style="border: none; color: #5a5a5a; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 0px;">
If the test results in a negative, the vet will prescribe a preventative medication to help you keep your pets protected. There are several options available, from pills to a solution that is applied to your dog's skin. Talk to your vet about which type will work the best for you.</div>
