Canine Respiratory Outbreak

​Canine respiratory outbreak- There have been news reports regarding hotspots of outbreaks of respiratory infections in dogs in which a small number have been serious enough to result in fatal pneumonia. Most of the cases have been reported in Oregon, Colorado and New Hampshire and some cases in California. We have not experienced any uptick in respiratory illness in dogs at this time. We will keep you posted. A recommendation is to keep all dogs updated on their Bordetella and canine influenza vaccines since those are two respiratory infections that we do have vaccinations for. You can avoid large group gatherings of dogs at this time.
