If you have L/M for us - in the past several weeks - and we didn’t or haven’t responded…
We JUST found out (TODAY) that our message system has not been working properly. 🥹

Likely since the Tornado on
Dec 9th, 2023!?!

It has worked (sporadically) so we weren’t aware of it malfunctioning, until today!

Our sincere apologies to anyone that didn’t get a call back or a response from us!!! Omg!

We are working on getting it repaired and hope to have it working normally (and properly) by the end of the week!!

Thank you for your kind understanding! 🙏🏻❤️

CANINE INFLUENZA:

Canine Influenza continues to be a concern for us and many dog owners. Several cases have been reported/confirmed in the Middle TN area.

Here is some information that you may find helpful.

There is a bivalent vaccine and VVC does have the Canine Influenza Vaccine.
It is a 2 part vaccine; (1) injection given then a (2nd) Booster given 3 weeks later.

The flu virus is HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS and is commonly transmitted by coughing and sneezing and is contagious aerolized up 20 feet.

Dogs that are in close proximity to other dogs and routinely go to dog parks, groomers, or kennels or those that attend dog shows may be most at risk.

The most common sign is coughing, which does not respond to antibiotic therapy and can last up to 3 weeks.

Most dogs recover without further incident but in some the virus could develop into pneumonia.

The American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) posted a great article about canine influenza as well as more information about the Asian flu outbreak.

You will find information on signs, diagnosis, transmission, and current prevention recommendations.

Truth. This is real. We love our jobs, we love our clients and we love all the beautiful pets we are so privileged to treat.
We are also human and doing the very best we can.
Everyday. All day.
No matter how long and how many extra hours we have to stay, past closing, to make sure everyone is treated.
We ask for your kindness, patience and understanding… your Grace. 🙏🏻❤️

There are not enough humans to take care of all the animals.

THIS is SO powerful and SO accurate.
So much MORE than alot of people know, don’t realize, don’t understand, couldn’t know... and it could apply to so many professions.
This is SO worth the 19 minutes it take to watch, or simply just “listen” to... Hope you will. 🙏🏻♥️
