Dental vaccine discontinued

Unfortunately, the manufacturer decided to stop producing this vaccine in 2011. It was not unsafe, rather no longer economical for the company. We are disappointed but will keep everyone posted if it becomes available again. Dr. Acton

A New Canine Cancer Screening Blood Test is Now Available!

Two forms of cancer (hemangiosarcoma and lymphoma) can now be diagnosed with a blood test. Early detection always gives us the advantage over the cancer. We recommend this test for all older dogs but especially certain large breeds, such as Shepherds, Retrievers, and Boxers (more prone to these cancers). Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian today to have your dog tested.

Canine Giardia Vaccine Backordered

2010-06-09T10:07:00.000-07:00

News Bulletin!

The canine Giardia vaccine is currently on backorder.

What does this mean for your dog? We still have a limited supply of the vaccine left, so we will continue vaccinating dogs that are boarding with us and “at risk” dogs needing their vaccine booster. If your pet were to contract the disease it is treatable so there is no need to worry.
We will let everyone know if this vaccine becomes available again.
