Brachycephalic breeds are dogs & cats with flat faces (short noses). These breeds overheat much easier than breeds with longer noses. You want to be very careful in this heat with all pets, but be extra careful with French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers, Shih Tzus, Boxers & Pekingese. Cooling vests are one way to help keep them cool. Some dogs get very excited on car rides & can get too hot from the excitement. These vests are great for summer travel.

A lot of people don’t know about Leptospirosis. Our dog vaccines include protection for this. Leptospirosis is contagious to people. It can lead to kidney failure, liver failure & even death in humans & dogs. We have tested some dogs for this recently due to their symptoms & their history of not being properly vaccinated so it had to be a consideration for these pets. Another example of how protecting your pets’ health can also protect your own health. Please give us a call if you have any questions.

‼️Why We Strongly Recommend the Leptospirosis Vaccine‼️

Leptospirosis is a serious and potentially life-threatening disease that affects both animals and humans—making it what’s known as a zoonotic disease. It’s caused by bacteria found in the urine of infected animals and can be spread through contaminated water, soil, or direct contact with infected pets. Even dogs that live primarily indoors are at risk, especially after heavy rain or flooding.

Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect your dog—and your entire household—from this dangerous illness.

Recently, this hit close to home. Our own veterinarian, Dr. Jason Kennell, likely contracted leptospirosis from a contagious patient. He was hospitalized for five days, after battling symptoms for nearly a week. This has been a sobering reminder of just how real and serious this disease can be—not only for your pets but for the people who care for them.

We can’t stress enough how important it is to vaccinate. It’s a simple step that can prevent significant suffering for both pets and people.

Finally, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to all of our wonderful clients who have been so patient and understanding while we adjusted schedules. Being down Dr. Jason and allowing his wife, Dr. Kaci, time to be by his side meant some changes in our daily operations—and your support has meant the world to our team.

Thank you for trusting us with your pets—and for being part of our extended clinic family. 💙💙🐈🐕

He says these horses may end up getting Rabies because they were bit by the infected dog. Rabies is real & it is 100% fatal for animals & people.**
