Huge PSA for dog owners!
(If you’re one of my clients with a booking coming up, please read my entire post)
It’s looking like this has already come to Canada and there are dogs passing away from it. I have a friend whose 1.5 year old dog just passed away from something like this.
Make sure you’re taking caution and try to keep your dogs isolated from public dog areas or unvaccinated unfamiliar dogs until veterinary professionals better understand what’s happening and how to treat/prevent it.
Call your veterinarian and make sure your dogs are up-to-date on their vaccinations, especially Bordetella canine influenza, and parainfluenza.
For my current clients and clients that have bookings coming up in the next couple of weeks before Christmas, Please stay up-to-date on my social media. I’ll be reaching out to you privately if anything changes for your booking. Please expect a message from me reaching out and asking for up to date vaccination records. Effective immediately I require dogs staying at my home for boarding or daycare be vaccinated within the last 6 months for Bordetella. The canine influenza vaccine may become mandatory for boarding and daycare as well, this will depend on the information I get from additional veterinary professionals in the next couple of days.
Thank you so much for everyone’s understanding. It’s my top priority to keep your pets and my pets safe while they’re in my care.
If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to message me privately.
A PSA for dog owners everywhere.
