Boarding? Get the Bordetella Vaccination.
Does your dog get boarded while you’re on vacation? Do you pamper your pooch at the groomer? Is your dog a therapy or service dog? If you’ve answered “yes” to any of these, you may want to consider getting your dog up-to-date on the Bordetella vaccination. The Bordetella vaccine will help protect your pet from a bacterial illness, commonly referred to as “kennel cough,” that can spread rapidly from dog to dog, though it is rarely life-threatening. Since it affects the respiratory tract, the first sign is typically dry coughing or hacking. Call your boarder or groomer today to see if this is a requirement for your dog.

Ticks are here!
They’re Here! TICKS! With the spring comes the first multitude of creepy-crawly ticks. Not all tickborne diseases are covered by vaccinations, so applying tick preventative to your dog is crucial. Our clinic recommends Vectra 3D, a topical preventative that repels and kills ticks and fleas. Bonus: it also helps repel against mosquitoes — the vectors of heartworm disease.
