Frank, the Maine C**n, so grand and wise,
Climbs to new heights, beneath clinic skies.
The climbing tree, a world to explore,
A jungle of joy, where adventures soar.

An emotionally honest and relatable read about the depths of grieving the loss of an animal companion.

When my yellow Lab died last spring, I was flattened by an overwhelming sadness that’s with me still. And that’s normal, experts say, because losing a pet is often one of the hardest yet least acknowledged traumas we’ll ever face.

With long weekends and holidays coming up, it is important to plan what to do with your pets. Will you take them with you, will you have a house sitter, or will they stay with friends or family?

For many people, the usual solution is to let your pets have their own holiday in a boarding kennel or cattery. Being in close proximity with a large number of other cats and dogs comes with the risk of disease transmission, especially respiratory diseases like snuffles and canine cough.
Luckily, these diseases can be vaccinated against. But unlike the long duration of protection that vaccination provides against diseases like Parvovirus in dogs and Panleukopenia in cats; respiratory diseases unfortunately only have a short duration of protection after vaccination, about one year.
Therefore, it is important to check that your pet’s vaccines are up-to-date when booking their stay at their pet motel.

For cats, the respiratory diseases, Rhinotracheitis virus and Calicivirus, are usually included with Panleukopenia in their usual annual vaccine.
For dogs the respiratory diseases, Bordetella and Parainfluenza virus, need to be given in a separate inoculation. This can be given up the nose, by mouth, or as an injection under the skin; all have the same 12-month duration of protection.

Come see us at the clinic, we can get your pet’s vaccines up to date and provide you with any information you need.
