Important message from our vet Dr. Vaughn.

I know the majority of people are aware of the unknown canine respiratory virus spreading across the country, but here are my two cents on it.

This is a bad respiratory infection, it can take weeks to treat. I first started seeing these mystery coughing cases in mid August, and then gradually saw cases increase throughout the fall. Thankfully, I’ve been able to successfully treat each case, with very compliant and dedicated owners. However, I’d like to reduce the number of cases I see by educating owners on how to avoid it.

1. Avoid high dog traffic areas (boarding, dog parks, pet stores, breweries, etc).
2. I am encouraging owners to elect for in home dog sitters as alternative to holiday boarding.
3. Lastly, Make sure your pet is up to date on all vaccines and wellness exams. This way if your pet does become ill you have an active relationship with your veterinarian.

There are some preliminary studies that are showing what medications are effective in treating this. Thankfully these are part of the protocol I’ve been using to treat it.

I’m committed to learning more about this disease and will keep you posted as I continue to learn more.

Please keep your furry family members healthy and safe this holiday season 🐾

Picture of Jager, one of my first cases of this disease. He is happy, heathy and ready to go hunting!

Miss Tillie (10 months) is part of Rip The Pit's pack. She has a unique talent of dragging her toes across hardwood floors (her nails are well trimmed and don't touch the ground when standing) So she has gained a few more nicknames along the way.

Her 2nd super power is getting out of her spay surgery and going into her first heat just 4 days before her scheduled surgery! And YES she will be rescheduled as soon as she is done.

October is National Pitbull Awareness Month! Pitbulls are loving, loyal, and intelligent companions, but they are often misunderstood and stigmatized. This month, we celebrate these amazing dogs and educate the public about the truth about pitbulls.

Pitbulls deserve our love and respect. Let's work together to change the way people view these amazing dogs.
