Ask the Vet
Do you have any veterinary questions? Is your pet doing something that you don't understand? Maybe you are looking for advice on behavioural issues.
One of our experts will be answering your questions on the Animals Voice Pawdcast in March.
Please submit any questions to Katie at kleonard@ospca.on.ca and stay tuned for our special "Ask the Vet" podcast next month.
If your question is of urgent nature, please see your local veterinary immediately.

Round Up with BMO
There's a new way to help animals in need with the new ChangeIt® program introduced by BMO MasterCard.
Small change, big difference! BMO Mastercard holders can now round-up their credit card transactions and donate the rounded up amount to the Ontario SPCA on a monthly basis.
It might not seem like a big difference, but the small change from each transaction can add up to a significant amount of support for the life-saving work done by the Ontario SPCA.
See ChangeIt.com for more information and start helping the animals today.

Keep Your Dog Active This Winter
While winter dog walking can sometimes be a challenge, it’s important to meet your dog’s exercise needs all year round. Not only will this keep your dog physically active during the winter months, it’ll also provide much needed mental stimulation for your dog. The cold weather might mean shorter walks, but there are still ways to get that physical activity in. Read the Ontario SPCA’s blog post Tips for a Safe Dog Walk This Winter for useful information.
Dogs love walks no matter what the season brings. Just remember, if it’s too cold for you outside …it’s too cold for your pets.

Sharing the Love This Winter
Ontario SPCA staff would like to thank all of our volunteers for their support over the winter! Cold weather hasn't stopped them.
• Volunteers braved the cold temperatures and provided over 300 dog walks last month to ensure all the animals were getting the exercise they needed.
• Volunteers are also set to build 20 feral cat shelters to provide warmth for homeless cats in various communities.
• Our transportation volunteers even tackled the icy roads to safely transport our animals to various medical appointments. Volunteers are vital to our organization and without your warm hearts we couldn’t care for all those cold noses. If you would like to get involved and join our volunteer team, visit ontariospca.ca and complete our online application form.
