"We are lucky to enjoy a pet-friendly city that allows and encourages their presence in our lives outside of our homes. From dog parks to doggy daycare to dog-friendly bars our canine companions are welcome. With this increase in the socialization of our dogs, there is also an increased risk of infectious disease transmission. Most notably canine infectious respiratory disease complex (CIRDC), also known as kennel cough. CIRDC is similar to the common cold as it has many different viral and bacterial causes. Bordetella is often the organism that we are most familiar with but is one of many. We are lucky enough to have vaccines geared against Bordetella that can reduce both transmission and clinical signs of infection. Although many Bordetella vaccines are labeled for annual use some studies suggest immunity wanes as early as 6 months. Most of our canine patients are involved in activities that increase their exposure risk such as boarding, doggy daycare, grooming, or dog parks. In an effort to mitigate the risk in a higher-risk group, we recommend a booster of the Bordetella vaccine every 6 months to ensure optimal level of protection."
- Dr. Anderson DVM.

In a recent USA TODAY article, veterinarian Diana Watkins explains why fireworks are so terrifying for dogs and offers valuable tips to keep your pets calm this 4th of July. From staying home with your pup to using calming devices, there are many ways to ensure their safety and comfort during the festivities.

Meet Our Team!

Introducing our Chief Veterinary Officer:
Dr. Gretchen Hutt DVM ✨

Originally from Louisville, Ky. Dr. Gretchen graduated from University of Kentucky with an undergraduate degree and then Auburn University with a DVM in 1984. She owned a practice in Durham for 28 years and then thought she was going to retire in Wilmington. She met Phil and Amanda at Pawville and before she knew it she became the Chief Veterinary Officer at Paw Springs. She doesnt really know how that happened but she is so glad that it did. Dr. Gretchen and her husband have been section hiking on the Appalachian Trail for about 8 years and have completed almost 700 miles on it. When she's not caring for animals or hiking, she also has a love for playing Pickleball and just walking their dogs, Cooper, an 8 year old Chihuahua mix adopted from the Durham Co Animal Shelter (pictured below) and Nacho, a Labradoodle that was supposed to be a mini but he weighs 50lbs. Dr. Gretchen is Level 3 Fear Free certified and is totally committed to making every pet’s visit to our hospitals as fear free as possible. 🐾
