Why Does My Dog Smell? Part 1

Why Does My Dog Smell? Part 1

The smell of a dog is a common topic of discussion at our veterinarian practice. Sometimes when I walk into a closed exam room, the strong odor can be so powerful it will knock me over. There are some obvious places to examine on your dog when looking for a solution. Let’s first discuss the ears, otitis and bacterial and yeast infections.

Feline Purevax Rabies

We are very pleased to announce that the Feline Purevax Rabies is now available in a 3 Year vaccine.

Leptospirosis in Dogs

There have been recent reports in the news about veterinarians seeing an increase in the disease Leptospirosis in Florida. The disease is spread through the urine of infected animals (including rats, Opossum and Raccoons).

Trifexis

You may have recently heard some disturbing reports of dogs becoming ill or dying after using the heartworm preventative Trifexis. Unfortunately, the information that is being distributed on the internet, and even on TN is not providing consumers with the full story.

Heartworm Disease

Your pet can get heartworms by the bite of an infected mosquito. There’s no other way they get heartworms. And there’s no way to tell if a mosquito is infected. That’s why prevention is so important. Most people only think of heartworms and prevention with dogs, but cats and ferrets are susceptible as well.

Activyl Flea Treatment

The most common external parasite found on pets, fleas can be a major problem for dogs, cats and the whole family. Not only are they visibly annoying, your pet can suffer from constant itching and scratching, hair loss, or even flea allergy dermatitis (FAD).
