Wow! Yesterday, we had the wonderful privilege of helping Booker come home to his family after going missing for two weeks!
If you haven’t seen the posts around town, Booker went missing from his family two weeks ago during the worst cold spell in the area this year. He not only survived through extreme weather, threats from wildlife & traffic, but he came out of it with barely a scratch on him! He was brought into our Barrington office with only minor injuries after his ordeal. He is a true miracle!!
We want to pay homage to his spirit & courage, as well as to the team that found him, and give everyone hope to never give up in these situations. We are so happy for you and your family, Booker! 💙

🐾 Dear Pet Parents 🐾

You may have heard about a contagious respiratory disease going around. Here’s what we know so far about this illness, along with tips to ensure the safety of your furry companions:

🐾We are actively monitoring the situation. While there has been no official release of confirmed cases of a new respiratory disease in Illinois at this time, anecdotal evidence suggests a rise in local cases of coughing dogs and we will continue taking precautions to prevent any potential outbreak.

🐾Awareness is key: Stay informed about the symptoms - coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, loss of appetite, lethargy. If you notice these signs, reach out to us promptly.

🐾Preventative measures: There is a risk of upper respiratory infections with any dog-to-dog interaction. Weigh the risks at this time of things like boarding, daycare, grooming, dog parks, etc. While it is currently undetermined whether this is a new virus or a mutation of an existing virus, it is a good idea to ensure your pet is up-to-date on vaccinations such as Bordetella, Distemper/Parainfluenza, and Canine Influenza.

🐾Veterinary intervention: Reach out to us promptly if you notice any changes in your pet’s health. When bringing a pet with symptoms to the clinic, call from your car. We may ask you to wait with your pet in the car until we can arrange a separate entrance. Keep in mind that if a pet needs hospitalization for this coughing disease we may refer to a 24-hour emergency clinic.

Let's work together to keep our pets healthy and happy. Share this post to spread the word and feel free to reach out to us with any questions.

As temperatures soar to 90-100 degrees over the next couple days, it’s crucial to be vigilant of the warning signs of heat stroke in pets. Avoid keeping your pet outside for extended periods, and never leave your dog in a hot car, even for a short time.
