Whenever I’m feeling down, I think of one of the best days of my life so far: watching whales and dolphins on the @hightidesauna sauna boat with my friend @alisonkarlenehodgins , then watching the sun set over the waters surrounding Vancouver, swimming in the ocean after warming up in the sauna, and then I feel better. And best of all, it’s not a once in a lifetime event—as long as I’m healthy, I can go again and again. #vancouverisawesome #vancouversunset #hightidesauna #vancouversauna #falsecreek

🌸 I was blown away by the cherry blossom decorations @stanleysbargrill for Vancouver Cherry Blossom Food Festival by @nomsmag . I hope they have it again next year! Events like this and friends like @aprilveralynn make me very grateful to live in Vancouver. 💖 P.S. Stanley’s Bar and Grill’s patio is pet-friendly, and they have gluten-free options! #vancouvercherryblossomfoodfest #cherryblossoms #stanleysbarandgrill #vancouver #yvr

Instead of leaving boxes out for your cat, leave their carrier out. So many sick cats have showed up late or missed their vet appointments entirely, delaying their treatment, because people would take the carrier out right before the appointment, making their cats hide. A carrier doesn’t look any worse than a cardboard box. For more tips on how to carrier train a cat, how to get them into or out of a carrier, how to pick the a good carrier, check out my book The Ins and Outs of Cat Carriers: A Veterinarian’s Guide to Cat Carriers. See link in bio or comment HELP in the comments below ⬇️ Dr. Mansum 🐾 P.S. Not a sponsored video. P.P.S. The carrier in the video is by @petsfit.us , the only pet carrier I could find that fits on small planes like @porterairlines . #veterinarian #catcarrier #cattips #catparents #catowners

Hi Vancouver Dog Parent! 🐶 I’m Dr. Mansum Yau, a veterinarian and certified canine massage therapist. Before sharing canine massage tips, guides, or services, I want to understand dog owners’ perceptions of pet massage.

It’s hard to believe a week ago I drove back to Vancouver from Tofino. ⌛️ Here are some photos taken on the trip home: ☁️ The breathtaking clouds and water at Tribal Park plus art Coombs, BC 🏰 I had to stop to take a photo of the mini castle and statues. Penny mischievously chased rabbits there and posed with dogs driving a car. 🐶 #explorebc #vancouverisland #vancouverislandbc #oneeyeddog #yorkiemix

Penny, Boo, and I had a whale of a time in Tofino. We’re back in Vancouver. I hope you get a chance to visit Tofino if you haven’t before! Here are my remaining photos from Tofino: 🖼️ Carving the Edge Festival with a wolf drum and a canoe made of cedar which is a lovely smell Tinwis Beach, art, and totem poles 🏖️ tinwis (Tin Wis) means “calm waters” or “calm beach” in the Xaluukwi?ath (Tla-o-qui-aht) dialect of the nuučaanutath (Nuu-chah-nulth) language. 🐠 Fish bike rack 🏄‍♂️ More found art 🚐 A van at @hotelzed Tofino which is one of the funnest hotels I’ve ever visited #exploretofino #tofino #tofinobc #explorebc #whaleofatime

I’ve visited many botanical gardens around the world. The @clayoquotcampus Naa’Waya’Sum Botanical Gardens in Tofino is a stand out that’s worth visiting even in the rain. ☔️ Do you like visiting botanical gardens too? P.S. I had to take a photo of the flamingo with Flame the Flamingo umbrella. 🦩 #tofinobotanicalgardens #tofinobc #tofino #exploretofino #flamingolove

🌅 Tofino sunsets and a rainbow 🌈 After a long day at work, I almost stayed “home”, but I’m glad I seized the moment. #carpediem #tofino #exploretofino #explorebc #tofinobc

A photo dump with more Tofino art, a cat named Belvedere that takes naps in an art gallery, and Eik Cedar: “a famous, ancient Western Red Cedar tree located in Tofino, BC, estimated to be between 1,500 and 4,000 years old. It is renowned for its unique, gnarled trunk that resembles a human face.” I ❤️ animals, art, and trees. Do you? #tofinobc #tofino #exploretofino #dogsandart #explorebc
