We had a great time hosting Girl Scout Troop 22123 last week! They had tons of great questions and learned about animal care, becoming a Veterinarian, and other jobs in our hospital. Dr. Hornacek brought her dog Brock, and they were able to listen to his heart! We are sure there's a future ESAH Vet in this group!

We had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Cohen yesterday, who came in to do a BAER hearing test on one of our patients. Dr. Cohen is a human audiologist who also holds an animal audiology certification. It was an amazing learning experience for us!
Pittsburgh Animal Audiology Services, LLC

"A brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER) test measures how your brain processes the sounds you hear. The BAER test records your brainwaves in response to clicks or other audio tones that are played for you. The test is also called a brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) or auditory brainstem response (ABR) test.

BAER tests are often administered to canines and are the only scientifically reliable way to test a dog’s ability to hear with one or both ears." From: https://pittsburghanimalaudiology.com/hearing-tests

While Dr. Cohen provides services in her office, pet owners homes and OFA clinics in our surrounding areas; some pets won't tolerate testing and require sedation. We coordinated with Brando's owners and Dr. Cohen to perform his BAER hearing test here while under sedation. Brando was tested and found to be deaf in both ears, now his owners can focus on providing specific training for deaf dogs to keep him safe and happy.

We have many clients who travel to Canada and/or Mexico with their pets.

While entry into these two countries are not as restrictive as other countries, entry back into the US will now be much harder and require signed forms by a USDA Certified Veterinarian and forms from the pet owner.

The CDC just enacted new regulations which begin August 1st on re-entry into the US with pets, especially dogs.

If you are planning travel outside of the US, please notify us immediately.
Most international health certificates require at minimum 30 days for us to prepare, some much longer.

The new CDC regulations for re-entry will require specific forms, Microchip prior to Rabies vaccine, etc.

You can learn more about these new rules here:

New Guidelines: https://www.cdc.gov/importation/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states/dogs.html

CDC Import form: https://cdc-786687.workflowcloud.com/forms/fb112553-dd9a-4c3e-a75f-12d6b7e2f2a4

Requirements and Checklist: https://www.cdc.gov/importation/bringing-an-animal-into-the-united-states/dogs-entering-us-after-august-1.html -risk

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Starting on August 1, 2024, dogs entering or returning to the United States must meet new, specific requirements depending on where they have been in the 6 months before entering the U.S. and where they received their rabies vaccines (if required).
