Hoping for a peaceful and disease free 2025 for as much as possible. Thank you to our clients and their furry family members - our reason to be here.

There are several reasons why we did not go back to pre-Covid regarding entry and leaving our clinic.

The main reason is epidemiology: we are seeking to prevent and minimize infectious disease spread by restricting dog to dog contact. The goal is for your dog to never come into contact with another dog while inside the clinic.

Also, from an epidemiology standoint, this also minimizes risk of human to human transmission as well!

We also see some dangerous dogs here. Not bad dogs, but they can be dangerous. It would not be good if one of these dogs was making their way through the front vestibule at the same time that little Fluffy was coming in - it would not go well. This also includes people - some of our client dogs may become very aggressive to other people especially near their owners. Therefore, just walking in to pick up medications without calling is not advised (as demonstrated recently!!!!!!!!!!!)

Please be patient. This system works really well to ensure a mostly private experience for you and your dog while visiting True Care. The dogs very much appreciate this.

TUESDAY, JUNE 18th - the clinic will b open from 2;30 to 5pm. Be careful with your pets in high heat!!!

Dogs are notoriously bad at dissipating body heat. Watch for early signs of heatstroke, also known as hyperthermia, in your dog to avoid serious outcomes.

For the 12th year, atopic or allergic dermatitis remains the most common health issue for dogs, while gastroenteritis tops the list for felines, according to an insurance-finance company claims report

True Care would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our clients and to our staff. As usual, a tough year but we made it ... although, many did not ...

many pets crossed to the rainbow bridge and, sadly also, a few clients lost their fights and went over as well. Comfort can be taken knowing that these folks are once again in the arms and paws of their loved ones.

All the very best!!!

Canine infectious respiratory disease update!

Folks, this latest version of CIRD that has affected dogs in many states is likely a variant of an "old friend" - so-called "kennel cough". The major difference being that more dogs have developed fever and bronchopenumonia than you would normal expect, although these can occur with regular kennel cough syndrome.

The best advice if solid preventive care. If your dog must board or go to day care, go to the groomers or even dog parks, then ensure:
- all vaccinations are current and
- they are on solid year around parasite control

Dogs with pre-existing respiratory conditions or any condition which can tax their immune systems are at increased risk.

From New York State Veterinary medical Association:

Stay safe out there!
