We have been to a few vets and recommend Eagleview Veterinary Hospital in Squamish. The staff are friendly, professional and the rates are very reasonable.

Here is a link to the company where we got our raised dog beds from. They are in the USA but can ship to anywhere through their Ebay store.
They are not cheaply made and are easy to clean.

If you are a smoker and a dog owner, consider smoking away from them as the health risks are similar to humans. The canine nose is far more sensitive to smell as well as the toxic concentration of smoke.

These articles are great for any dog owner. They have a lot of useful tips. I have another great tip that is not mentioned, and is helpful if your vet advises you to induce vomiting. If you don’t have any hydrogen peroxide handy, salt can also be used. Simply dissolve a decent quantity (a few tsps) of salt in a glass of water, then fill a syringe. Squirt this down your dogs throat and stand back. The resulting projectile vomiting will often remove whatever they have ingested. Try and do this outside as it can make quite a mess!
