Thunder Bay residents taking pets to Minnesota veterinary clinic

Gino,
A local veterinary clinic says a shortage of vets and vet technicians has created an overwhelming workload in the city THUNDER BAY — Some pet owners in the Thunder Bay area are traveling to animal clinics south of the border or a few hours away because they can’t get appointments in the city unless they’re already registered. It’s an ongoing situation, not just a recent development, as at least one local clinic hasn’t accepted new clients for the past five years.

One had been given a stray kitten only a few weeks old which had grown into the most devoted pet. “She’s more like a dog than a cat. She follows me around everywhere and sits looking at me, even in the bathroom,” she said. She reckoned that feeding and taking care of the cat cost the equivalent of about €40 per month and she had…

First inspections of the spring

Gino,
In sunny Cornwall I’ve just done my first inspections for 2021 inside the hives. It’s been warm enough for some people to walk around in just t-shirts and for me to wear a t-shirt and cardigan, so it was time. Good news: both colonies are alive and queen-right. Bad news: one (Kensa) is showing signs of chalkbrood disease. My inspecting of Demelza went comically wrong. I started by trying to get all my equipment ready so that I could do some queen marking. I opened a brand new queen marking pen bought last summer and tried to use it on…

Healthy for us, healthy for our pets

Gino,
Qoday’s consumer is not only concerned about their physical and mental health, but also their pet’s health. In June 2022, Euromonitor International identified the top five trends in pet care.
