Canine influenza, or “dog flu,” is a highly contagious respiratory illness that can be passed from dog to dog. It typically starts with a cough and can be mistaken for the more common and well-known Bordetella. In some cases, canine influenza can progress to pneumonia.
We carry the Influenza vaccine here at Lockwood Ridge. Contact us if your dog shows signs or symptoms and be aware of outbreaks during summer travel.
Leptospirosis is a dangerous, and potentially deadly, bacterial disease that can be harmful to both humans and animals.
Leptospirosis damages the kidneys and liver of dogs, humans and other animals, but is only rarely seen in cats. It is spread through the urine of infected dogs, squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, opossums, rodents and other common wildlife.
Vaccination is the best way to prevent leptospirosis. Your dog can become infected by drinking, swimming in or walking through contaminated water or soil, or by consuming wildlife such as chipmunks, rats and mice.
If you ever notice unusual symptoms in your pet, we are here to help.
Disasters can strike at any moment so it's important stock up on emergency supplies and consider your pet’s needs. Lastly, be sure to download the myVCA app to have access to your pet's medical records.

With heat waves sweeping across the country, blue-green algae is appearing in new areas and posing an increased risk to pets.
Found in lakes, ponds or any source of standing water, it’s extremely toxic and consuming it can be fatal. The best way to prevent accidental poisoning is to keep a close eye on pets when they’re around water.
If you think your pet has been exposed, take them to the nearest emergency veterinary hospital and contact the ASPCA Poison Control at 888-426-4435.
