| We often think of the flu as a seasonal illness, but for dogs, that isn’t the case. While flu risk in humans typically peaks in the winter, canine influenza can occur year-round. Dogs are most at risk when they’re in close contact with other dogs, such as at boarding kennels, doggie daycare, groomers, or dog parks. Knowing the signs and how the virus spreads can help protect your dog. To learn more about canine influenza, visit the link below. |
February is National Pet Dental Health Month, highlighting the importance of dental care for your pet's overall health. Dental disease is common in both dogs and cats and, if left untreated, can cause pain, tooth loss, and infection that can affect the entire body. Join us Thursday, February 26th at 6PM ET on Zoom as Dr. Brad Cingolani, Resident Veterinarian in Dentistry and Oral Surgery at AMC, discusses common dental conditions in dogs and cats. He will review signs that may indicate a problem, explain what to expect from a veterinary dental examination and treatment, and share practical steps pet owners can take at home to promote healthier teeth and gums. Please email UsdanIn...@amcny.org with any questions. |

This week marks our 1,000th blogpost! Much has changed since our blog began in 2008 — in our country, at AMC, and in veterinary medicine. In this week's blog, Dr. Ann Hohenhaus reflects on some of those changes and on what continues to matter the most. |
Everyone, meet Paz! His owner shares: "Paz, our Mi-Ki, was saved at AMC several years ago after a serious accident. He’s 10 years old now and living a happy life."
