The CDC recently changed their import regulations for bringing dogs into the United States. The new regulations go into effect on August 1. In addition to whatever the country you travel to requires, you will now need to meet the following requirements for your dog to return to the United States.

Traveling from a rabies-free or low-risk country:
1. Your dog must appear healthy
2. Your dog must be 6 months of age or older
3. Your dog must have an microchip that can be detected with a universal scanner
4. You must fill out the CDC Dog Import Form (available online)

Traveling from a high-risk country:
1. Meet the above criteria
2. Must receive a rabies vaccine AFTER the implantation of a microchip.
3. A USDA-accredited veterinarian must complete a Certification or US-issued Rabies Vaccination form or USDA-endorsed export health certificate.

Please keep this information in mind as you plan your travel, remembering that foreign countries often have strict requirements for bringing animals across their borders. You can learn more about these new regulations at

Have you noticed your dog having difficulty getting up in the morning? Is your cat's fur suddenly getting matted near her tail? Is your pet less energetic when you try to play with them? These can all be signs of osteoarthritis, an inflammatory joint condition that often occurs with age. Thankfully, we have a variety of treatment options, ranging from weight management and joint supplements to medications and physical rehabilitation. If you think your pet may have OA, schedule an appointment so we can help your pet return to their normal, pain- free self!

We are closed on Monday, May 27 for Memorial Day. We hope you all have a lovely long weekend! See you Tuesday!

Our furry friends are living longer and longer, and as they age, their medical needs change. Age is not a disease, but many diseases will present as our pets get older. It's important that your senior pet be seen by a veterinarian regularly (ideally every 6 months if healthy). Signs of illness can be difficult to spot. Some things to monitor for include changes in weight, changes in appetite, increased thirst, increased urination, accidents in the home, dropping food or not wanting to eat hard food, difficulty getting up or using stairs, decreased grooming, and exercise intolerance. Having your pet checked out sooner rather than later often allows for earlier diagnosis and easier/more effective treatment. We want these later years to stay golden for you and your pet, and we're always here to help!
