During this holiday season we encourage all our dog owners to use precaution in your pets interaction with other dogs. This includes in your neighborhoods and places where dogs meet; dog parks, grooming, boarding, etc.
We are strongly encouraging dog owners to make sure their animals are fully vaccinated for the Canine Influenza Virus - with the bivalent vaccination H3N2 & H3N8.
It is common for there to be an uptick in respiratory cases around the holidays. The most common respiratory disease among dogs is under the umbrella term "kennel cough," which typically spreads through kennels, shelters or other daycare facilities, and has very similar signs to what is being reported in the news. Most cases of kennel cough are mild and dogs typically recover within 7 to 10 days. Dogs can recover from a respiratory illness on their own without the help of antibiotics.
If your dog shows any signs of coughing, nasal or ocular discharge, lethargy, inappetence, or sneezing, please reach out to us immediately. If we are closed, please contact your closest emergency hospital.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding your pet’s vaccination status, please call your veterinarian.
