How to avoid scams involving hacked social media accounts:
- When approached by your family or friends on social media talking about investment opportunities, be wary.
- Consider contacting the loved one by other means toverify their identity, such as by phone.

The Neighbourly team has been diving into a big question: should our curiosity take us up into space or down into the ocean?
It’s wild to think that more people have walked on the Moon than have reached the deepest point of the sea. Why is that?

We often see dogs with skin, ear, and eye irritations during this time of year. If left untreated, these can lead to secondary bacterial or fungal infections that are much harder to manage.
💊 Unlike humans, antihistamines don’t work very well in pets. But don’t worry — there are safe and effective treatments available!
Cytopoint injections – a monthly treatment that helps stop the itch.
Apoquel tablets – help control ongoing itchiness.
Supportive care – including medicated shampoos, low-allergy foods, and good flea control.
🐶 If your pet is itching, licking, or showing signs of discomfort, talk to us today. We’ll help tailor the best treatment plan to keep them happy and comfortable this spring! 🌼
