How cold is too cold for a dog? It depends; if you ask a Husky, they’d probably just ignore the question then run into a snowbank. If you ask a Dachshund, they may not even hear you through the blanket on the couch. There are a lot of factors when it comes to what is “too cold” for your dog. These include their breed, their size, weight, experience with cold weather, age, wind chill, humidity and overall health. While these tips serve as a guideline, it’s crucial to monitor your dog and keep an eye on their behavior. If you notice your dog slowing down, shivering, holding up their paws or acting anxious, it’s time to head inside and warm up. Call your veterinarian if you notice any signs of frostbite or hypothermia.

Yesterday was French Bulldog day. We are lucky to see so many Frenchies and help them live their best lives. Even delivered a litter of 5 this past weekend! Thought we’d share a few photos from our clinic app. Please add yours to the comments as well

We have started to receive many questions regarding the recent news about Avian Influenza, aka Bird Flu, in Cats.

This is what we know based on current information: Avian influenza has affected some cats and has caused some deaths. There presently is no known cases of infected cats in Maine.

Since ill birds can be an easier target for outdoor cats, the best option would be preventing your cat from going outside. We know this could be a challenge in some cases therefore providing some sort of enclosure such as Catio could be a good option, if possible.

In addition, we do not recommend feeding raw diets or raw milk as there have been reports of contaminated diets and milk making pets ill.

According to the USDA (link included), in Maine while no cats have been reported, there have been 19 cases reported in Maine mammals - 2 red foxes and 17 seals.
