One in particular is Canine Influenza and there have been a couple reported cases in our area. Please take some time to read up on Canine Influenza and how you can protect your pet and others.

We are now offering this vaccine if your pet is in a high-risk group and/or frequents areas with a high volume of dogs. Please talk with your doctor if you have any questions regarding this vaccine.
