🐾❤️🎄Merry Christmas from AMC 🎄❤️🐾

Last night AMC staff celebrated together at Dr. Helgen’s house with a delicious meal by Hibachi Boy! We laughed, shared secret Santa gifts with one another, and reflected on the wonderful year we’ve had together. We feel so fortunate for such wonderful patients and their families!

Important news for all dog owners! The Leptospirosis vaccine is now categorized as a core vaccine. This means that is is considered essential for all dogs, regardless of location or lifestyle. This change in vaccination guidelines is important because it highlights that all dog populations are at risk for this deadly disease. Lepto IS preventable with proper vaccination. At Animal Medical Center of Litchfield, we want to make sure your pets are protected! Have questions about your dog’s coverage? Call us to discuss!

🚨 Important Update: Leptospirosis Now a Core Vaccine for ALL Dogs
The 2022 AAHA Canine Vaccination Guidelines have been updated to classify the leptospirosis vaccine as CORE for all dogs starting at 12 weeks of age – regardless of lifestyle, location, or breed.
Why the change?
🌆 ALL dogs are at risk—urban, suburban, and rural.
⚠️ Potentially fatal, even with treatment.
🔄 Zoonotic—it can spread from pets to humans.
🏢 Dogs in daycare and kennels also face exposure risks.
You can find the full update in the Nov/Dec issue of JAAHA, or check out the full 2022 Canine Vaccination Guidelines here: aaha.org/canine-vaccinations

AMC does Toy Story!

Our staff along with their families had a blast at the Litchfield Halloween Parade. We loved seeing so many familiar faces in the crowd! This crew worked hard on our float during rare spare time at the clinic, and it turned out great. We love participating in community events because we love our community! Big thanks to Litchfield Community Partners for hosting such an awesome event.

We hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!
