Daycare & Boarding Clients Please Read!
We are experiencing coughing going around the facility & we want to make all of our clients aware. Kennel Cough for dogs is an airborne bacterial illness that spreads rapidly through the coughing of the dogs. We are doing our best to keep new incoming dogs from exposure. We cannot control daycare clients from taking their dogs to dog parks, around other dogs outside of daycare, and on walks anywhere. Whereas these are common places your dog can catch the virus. Because of this, Kennel Cough is always something that can and does happen from time to time, much like human kids catching a cold at school. We appreciate everyone’s understanding. We will continue to do our best to keep any coughing dogs separated but with the holiday high capacity approaching this will be difficult. We are doing everything in our power to keep everyone happy and healthy as possible. We appreciate your understanding.

Hi PAWS family! We wanted to let you all know we have been notified of a dog coughing that had been through daycare about a week ago. We have spoken with our local vets and have had reports that while there is a cough/cold going around, the cases in our area have been responding fine to normal kennel cough treatments, antibiotics and cough tabs. With little issues at least that our personal vet has seen. So we are hoping this is a normal kennel cough, but with a new stand of illness popping up in near by areas we are being extremely vigilant to watch for any symptoms while dogs are in our care, and we are heavily disinfecting our yard, kennels, floors, and equipment in between each rotation of doggy playgroups, we also are giving dogs water separated during their rest time and we are not putting out communal water bowls at this time. Please keep an eye out and if your dog is coughing, sneezing, having nasal or eye discharge, or being lethargic, please take them to the vet to get antibiotics right away! We will do everything in our power to keep all the pups in our care healthy, but just like kids on the playground these germs spread because of contact playing, so if your dog seems under the weather please keep them home until they have seen a veterinarian . Thank you!

Hey there PAWS family! Unfortunately, we have to increase our prices again starting in the new year. Our goal is to always stay low cost compared to the surrounding daycares in our area, but our current prices are not sustaining our business. We appreciate all the support you all have given us and we hope to see you in the new year!

Hello KC PAWS family! We wanted to make a informational post to talk about the mysterious case of respiratory illness that is going around.

There has been an uptick in the numbers of dogs with respiratory disease, (coughing, lethargy, fever) and the signs have been persisting longer than a few days.

A recent Article from CNN reads:

"Based on the epidemiology of the cases reported at this point, the cases appear to share a viral etiology, but common respiratory diagnostic testing has been largely negative,” Oregon State Veterinarian Dr. Ryan Scholz told the American Veterinary Medical Association.

In other words, dogs with the unidentified illness show similar signs of an upper respiratory disease but generally don’t test positive for common respiratory diseases. And the disease is generally resistant to standard treatments, said Dr. David B. Needle, a pathologist at the New Hampshire Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory and clinical associate professor at the University of New Hampshire.

While this particular disease is unusual, “Periodic outbreaks of Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (CIRDC) can occur in a dog population. At least nine different bacteria and viruses have been linked as causes of CIRDC, which is transmitted by respiratory droplets,” the association said.

“Infection with more than one bacterial or viral agent is common. Symptoms include coughing, sneezing, nasal and/or eye discharge, and lethargy. If your dog shows these symptoms, please contact your veterinarian.”

Dog owners should help keep their pets healthy by making sure they’re up-to-date on all vaccines, such as those for canine influenza, Bordetella and parainfluenza.

Our staff is doing everything in our power to keep our facility heavily disinfected and keep an eye out for any signs of illness in any dogs that we meet. With that being said, we HIGHLY encourage our clients to avoid dog parks that can not regulate if dogs have vaccinations and then also come to daycare. We can not control where dogs go in their own time with their owners, and while we can ensure all daycare clients are vaccinated, we can not control if a daycare dogs comes in contact with a sick dog at a dog park.

If you notice any coughing, gunky eyes, runny nose, or other respiratory systems in your dog PLEASE do not bring them to our facility until they have seen a vet. I our staff notices a dog with ANY symptoms that may be respiratory illness we will have to ask the client to leave until their dog can be seen by a vet. Some dogs may not show symptoms right away, which can make it difficult to catch it before the spread, so please ensure to be vigilant, and of course to keep your pets up to date on vaccines! Thank you all!
