Canine Influenza has been in the news recently. We do offer the flu vaccine and are recommending it to any dogs who board or visit daycare or grooming facilities. The initial vaccine should be administered with a booster 3 weeks after. Dogs going to boarding or grooming facilities are at the highest risk.

Human flu season has arrived, which means you’re trying your best to keep your family healthy and safe. But did you know that your dog can get the flu, too?

Microchip success!! Poor Superman here got separated from his owner today. Thanks to the quick reaction of a passerby, we located Superman’s microchip, contacted the owner, and hosted a reunion within just a few minutes. You can be a superhero like Superman’s personal hero, and get your pets microchipped!

Posting for someone else: Looking for a home for these 2 Lab mixes. I’m guessing they are about 1 year old. Dumped near Alex City. Very friendly and respectful despite being hungry. I believe they are females.

We are in need of towels. If you come across a few extra towels in your spring cleaning, we would love to take them off your hands. The dogs don't mind if they have a few stains. Thanks in advance!

There have been dogs in our area with a cough that is not standard kennel cough. The ones whom we have tested have not given us any answers. None of our patients have been as severe as what this article describes, but several have coughed in excess of 3 weeks. While we will continue to board for now, we do not ever accept coughing dogs and will encourage all dog owners to explore other options during the holidays.

The pneumonia-like illness starts as a cough and gradually worsens, reports say.

Someone found a wedding band in the parking lot a few days ago, but no one has come looking for it. If you’ve been by this week and can’t locate your wedding band after your visit, come by and talk to the receptionists.
