Health
Updated Vaccination Guidelines
The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) now categorizes leptospirosis as a core vaccine for all dogs starting at 12 weeks old.

Recognizing Signs of Pain
Different types of pain manifest in different ways. And of course, our dogs can really tell us what's going on.
The newsletter produced by the Cornell Richard P. Riney Canine Health Center has a good article on how to recognize pain in our dogs.
You can read it here.
Ear Health
A dog's ear canal is shaped like an "L." The good news is this configuration makes it hard for you to inadvertently injure your dog's eardrum while cleaning your dog's ears to decrease debris, bacteria and yeast.
