Hi, gang.

FYI.

A local kennel/ training facility supposedly has a current outbreak of canine influenza.

We have not been vaccinating against canine flu for quite some time, as there had not been local cases since the 2015 Chicago outbreak of H3N2.

The only reported recent outbreak in the U.S. is this summer in the Miami area.
If it is indeed back in our area, you may want to consider vaccinating your dog.

Just like human influenza viruses, it is spread by dirct contact, fomites (objects) and respiratory droplets. Similar symptoms as well...upper respiratory, fever, cough, lethargy.

Similar to humans, most healthy dogs will recover fine. But, some can progress to pneumonia.

If you dog is under a year of age, a senior, a brachycephalic (short nosed) breed that has a social life, you may want to consider vaccination.

A social life includes dog parks, pet stores, boarding/grooming/day care, training classes, going to Pet Smart, etc.

Any questions?
Feel free to call our office at 847-533-8387 or contact your local veterinarian.

Tick season is upon us. It's time to use your flea/tick preventative.

A reminder: if you find an attached tick on your pet or yourself, grasp it where it enters the skin with a tweezer or hemostats, rock it out and kill it by crushing or drowning it.
Note: do not touch the contents of the body of the tick, as that is where the disease causing agents reside.

If the head is still within the skin, don't panic. The body will work it out like a splinter.

Sorry, guys...you do not need fire or power tools to accomplish this!

Order your preventative from our site today!
