Has your dog had all of its vaccinations?
If your dog is going to a boarding kennel this holiday season they will require an up-to-date record of their annual C5 vaccination.
๐ฅThe famous five๐ฅ
There are five different types of disease that can be prevented by vaccination.
โ๏ธDistemper. It is rare these days, however older practitioners used to see four to five cases a day. The virus is usually fatal. Symptoms include coughing, diarrhoea, seizures, loss of balance and blindness.
โ๏ธHepatitis. This is another disease that can be fatal. When it isnโt, hepatitis usually results in permanent and irreversible liver damage. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain.
โ๏ธParvovirus. Known to cause fatal diarrhoea, the types of dogs that are especially susceptible are puppies, dogs that are immunosuppressed, dogs that are exposed to a large number of other dogs and geriatric dogs. There is also a less common cardiac pathogenicity for this disease.
โ๏ธParainfluenza. A viral component of kennel cough, this disease is not fatal, however it can cause debilitation that leads to other fatal diseases. Even with treatment there will usually be permanent damage to the respiratory system. This is a highly contagious and extremely debilitating disease.
โ๏ธBordetella bronchiseptica. This is a bacterial component of kennel cough.
Make sure your pets are ready to enjoy the holiday festivities by booking your appointment today. We can't wait to help you and your furry family members celebrate the season in style! ๐

Living with Osteoarthritis can be very painful... so imagine not being able to ask for help. 4 out of 10 dogs show symptoms of arthritis pain, but signs can often be missed or dismissed as "old age".
๐ข Just like in humans, joint pain can have a huge negative impact on a dog's physical and emotional health. The good news is this pain can be managed.
