The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced an update to its dog importation regulations and subsequent changes to its import requirements for dogs entering the U.S. These changes take effect Aug. 1 and will impact dogs travelling from Canada to the U.S. Dogs now entering the U.S. must:
Be at least six months of age.
Have an International Organization for Standardization-compliant microchip.
Appear healthy upon arrival.
Have a CDC Dog Import Form receipt (this form will only be made available by the CDC on July 15 and must be submitted through the CDC website).
Have additional documentation, which varies depending on where the dog has been in the past six months before entering the U.S., and the dog's rabies vaccination status.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING COVID-19
We have fielded many questions recently about our availability over the last few days and we are here to inform you that we will continue to serve the needs of your furry friends because that is what we love to do!
Veterinary Care has been deemed an essential service and that allows us to stay open and care for your furry friend.
We have implemented a number of measures to help decrease the spread of Covid-19 and flatten the curve of infection.
Here are a few:
We are OPEN with a locked door policy.
Food purchases – please call ahead so we can have it ready for you to pick up with social distancing.
We are taking extra precautions to keep surfaces disinfected to minimize the chance of transmission.
We are controlling traffic in the reception area with more space between appointments.
We are assessing patients requirements individually and scheduling appointments on an as needed basis.
We are asking you to stay in your car while your furry friend is being examined and evaluated, then one of our staff members will communicate with you by phone.
We ask that if you have COVID-19 or are in isolation for COVID-19 or have a co-dweller that is isolating for COVID-19 that you let us know when you call in and we will evaluate the circumstances. Your pet’s care is important to us and we will suggest ways to help your furry friend.
If we work together we can get through these times. Remember we are here to help!
Sincerely,
Dr Michael McNeil, Andrea, Cassie & Sam

February Is Pet Dental Health Month and We’re extending it into March!
Periodontal Disease is a common and painful condition in dogs and cats. It is a bacterial infection in the bone and ligament that holds the tooth. If unchecked it will lead to dental pain, tooth loss and systemic disease.
Sleep dentistry and dental x-rays are needed to do a thorough assessment and treatment. Our goal is a pain free and infection free mouth.
Call for your pet’s free dental exam during the month of March at:
Keswick Veterinary Clinic 905-476-3802 or Dalton Road Veterinary Clinic 905-722-3534.
