Over the past two months, veterinarians across the Denver metro area have been seeing an elevated number of canine respiratory disease cases.

There has not been any conclusive testing to indicate what may be causing the increased prevalence of this respiratory disease. This does not necessarily mean this is a new or novel virus as there are many causes for canine respiratory infections.

The Colorado Department of Agriculture is currently working with partners from Colorado State University, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the Colorado Veterinary Medical Association to coordinate on the situation.

Please visit Colorado Department of Agriculture and Colorado State University for the latest updates.

Our recommendations for pet owners:

Keep vaccines updated: While existing vaccines may not specifically target this unknown infection, maintaining overall health through routine vaccinations can help support a dog’s immune system in combating various infection. Optimal protection against common respiratory infections include Bordetella, Adenorivus 2 and Parainfluenza virus (included in the DHPP vaccine), and the canine influenza vaccine. Avoid bringing a dog into the community until two weeks after the last dose of a vaccine and immunity has developed.

Watch your pets closely: Monitor your dogs closely for progressive coughing that may be accompanied by signs of eye or nose discharge and sneezing.
Consult your veterinarian: If these clinical signs develop, consult us immediately, particularly if your dog loses its appetite, has trouble breathing, is coughing continually, or is extremely lethargic. We recommend scheduling an appointment ASAP as diagnostic tests should be performed within the first 72 hours of onset of symptoms.

Avoid voluntary gathering of dogs: For the time being, it would be prudent to avoid dog parks and other social events where your dog could have contact with dogs of unknown vaccination or health status. If boarding, day care, or grooming are required, complete the vaccinations described above before attending.
With this news, you may be concerned about bringing your pet to the vet. We want to advise you that this is a safe space and we have protocols in place to protect your pet against contagious diseases.

We do offer the option of curbside check-in. Please call us at 303-938-9474 to let us know that you have arrived. We will es**rt you inside once an examination room is ready.

Please contact us at 303-938-9474 if you have any additional questions. We are here to guide you through this process.

As we gather with family and friends, let's remember to keep our furry friends safe and stress-free during the festivities. Here are a few tips to ensure a pet-friendly Independence Day:

Keep them indoors: Loud fireworks can frighten our pets. Create a calm and secure environment by keeping them indoors, preferably in a quiet room, with familiar toys and bedding.

Provide a safe haven: Create a cozy space for your pets with their favorite blankets or a crate, offering them a sense of security and comfort.

Avoid harmful foods: While we enjoy the BBQ and picnic treats, remember that some human foods can be toxic to pets. Keep them away from alcohol, chocolate, onions, grapes, and anything containing xylitol.

ID tags and microchips: Ensure your pet's identification tags are up to date and securely attached. Microchipping is a great way to provide additional identification in case your furry friend gets lost.

Avoid fireworks: Keep your pets away from fireworks displays, as the loud noises can be distressing and potentially dangerous for them.

Wishing you a joyous and safe Independence Day!

Today is a special day as we honor our feline friends and playfully acknowledge their inherent charm, independence, and, dare we say, their secret ambitions of world domination!

From their regal presence to their sassy demands, cats have a way of ruling our households and captivating our souls. They remind us that true power lies in graceful poise, relentless curiosity, and the ability to nap anywhere, anytime.

Remember, while cats may humorously plot world domination in our imaginations, let's ensure their well-being remains our top priority. Provide them with a safe environment, nutritious meals, plenty of playtime, and, of course, lots of love and affection.

The Fourth of July can be an exciting yet challenging time for our pets. The loud fireworks and boisterous festivities may cause anxiety and stress in many animals. To help your pets stay calm, relaxed, and safe throughout the celebrations, it's crucial to plan ahead!

If your beloved pet has been prescribed anti-anxiety medication, we kindly request you to pick up their supply before the holiday rush begins. Our veterinary practice will be open during regular business hours but will be closed on Fourth of July, ready to assist you in ensuring your pet's peace of mind.

To ensure uninterrupted access to your pet's anti-anxiety medication, we kindly ask you to request prescription refills 24-48 hours in advance. This allows our dedicated veterinary team sufficient time to review and prepare the necessary prescriptions for your furry friends.

Did you know that Boulder, CO is at risk for heartworm disease?

According to the American Heartworm Association and the Companion Animal Parasite Council (CAPC), heartworm infection rates are increasing in our area. With our love for dogs being transferred from heartworm endemic areas and increase in precipitation, It's crucial to prioritize heartworm prevention to safeguard your pets.

Here are some ways to keep your pets and your peace of mind protected:

Year-Round Protection: Heartworm disease is not just a summer concern. Mosquitoes can survive in protected environments, like garages or basements, and during colder months. That's why we recommend year-round heartworm prevention for pets. There are several heartworm preventatives available, including monthly oral medications, topical treatments, and a convenient yearly injection. Our experienced veterinarians can help determine the best prevention method for your pet based on their lifestyle and specific needs.

Heartworm Testing: Regular veterinary check-ups and heartworm testing are vital to early detection. Our veterinary practice follows the guidelines set by the American Heartworm Society, ensuring the most effective prevention and treatment options for your pets.

Proactive Approach: Remember, prevention is easier, safer, and more affordable than treating heartworm disease. Heartworm treatment is typically 11x more costly than heartworm prevention. By keeping your pet on a consistent prevention regimen, you're providing them with the best defense against this potentially life-threatening condition.

Call, text, or PetDesk request today for your pet's heartworm preventative. We're here to answer your questions and ensure your pets stay happy and healthy all year long.

Visit the American Heartworm Association (https://www.heartwormsociety.org/) and the Companion Animal Parasite Council (https://www.capcvet.org/) for additional information and resources.

March is Poison Prevention Awareness Month.

Did you know that many items found throughout your home are toxic to your pet. Included are just a handful of items that are considered toxic to your pet.

Chocolate: This can cause vomiting, diarrhea, or seizures. Baker's chocolate and dark chocolate are the most toxic because they contain a higher percentage of theobromine. Although we don't recommend feeding it to your pet, milk and white chocolate are less likely to affect your pet.

Rat Poison: You may notice your pet ate rat poison by witnessing it or by their bright green stool. There are different types of poisons on the market, and it's very important to bring the packaging with you to the vet because different poisons present with different symptoms and require different treatments. Common active ingredients that can negatively affect your pet include cholecalciferol, anticoagulants, bromethalin, and zinc and aluminum phosphides.

Xylitol: This is a common sugar additive and is commonly found in gum, but it is also known to be found in some peanut butter brands. Xylitol can act quickly and can lead to dangerously low blood sugar levels and seizures.

Grapes and Raisins: Cold grapes may be a nice sweet treat, especially on a hot summer day. They are not safe to give to dogs and can cause acute kidney failure, which can lead to death. Some dogs can go their whole life without being affected from grape ingestion, but that doesn't mean every dog is lucky. Treatment often includes supportive care and multiple bloodwork rechecks.

Plants: Lilies, sago palms, and some other common household plants are very toxic to your pets. Ingestion of these plants may include liver, kidney, or heart failure. Cats are notorious for getting into plants, so try keeping a garden of catnip, buckwheat grass, or silver vine.

Human Prescriptions: There are some human medications that can be used for dogs and cats, but we recommend consulting your veterinarian prior to administering these medications to your pet. Antidepressants are a big concern with dogs and cats as it can cause heart or neurological problems. Treatment of medication ingestion depends on the type of medication, the amount, and the time it was ingested.

In addition to the the toxins listed here, others include household cleaners, antifreeze, onions, to***co products, garlic, macademia nuts, alcohol, yeast products, and caffeine.

If you notice or suspect that your pet has ingested anything other than their normal diet, please give us a call.

This trick is the tip of the iceberg of medicating tricks and possibilities, but it is an excellent and often underutilized tool.

If you need help medicating your cat, I am here to help! However, I cannot recommend enough getting ahead of it and training your cats to take medications BEFORE they need medications. Here is a link to get you started if you would like guidance.
