Hello!
I am reaching out to inform you that there has been an increased prevalence of respiratory infections in dogs over the past couple months. It appears that many of these dogs have been vaccinated with DHPP, Bordatella and Influenza. Some affected dogs needed intensive hospitalization, and we are seeing that they are not responding as quickly to typical antibiotic therapy. Most dogs that are affected have been to areas where dogs socialize frequently. If your dog is experiencing any respiratory symptoms, it is best to contact the veterinarian ASAP. We are also telling clients to please isolate any affected dogs from common dog areas for at least 14 days. Thank you. Stay safe and healthy.🐶❤️

Also, I want to wish everyone a very happy and healthy holiday season.
See you in the New Year!

Over half of U.S. dogs and cats are considered obese. Pet obesity can reduce life expectancy and cause arthritis, diabetes, and cancer.

Hi All! There has been a lot of talk in the past few weeks regarding the risk of grain free pet foods. I wanted to help shed some light to the many questions about what veterinarians find important when recommending the best food for our animal companions. I recommend reading 3 articles from a board certified veterinary nutritionist. These are some of the best articles I have found to help navigate through the specifics of what is important when deciding on pet foods.
