ATTENTION FRIENDS 📢

Canine upper respiratory infection is currently making its way through the Tampa Bay area. We have seen multiple cases at our hospital over the past few weeks. Dogs that frequently board at facilities, doggie daycares, grooming facilities, and dog parks are at a higher risk of contracting the infection. If your dog displays symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, or eye/nasal discharge, please give us a call.

Things are heating up as the summer comes. Canines and felines do not sweat except through our paw pads. To help with the heat, we expel our heat by panting. So Stay Cool Everyone!Never leave us in a car and always make sure we have access to cool air and water.
