We think it’s very important to share this important information with all of our customers, sportsmen and others. The news is super scary right now
mystery canine respiratory illness

The news is super scary right now,
You may have heard — there’s a “mystery canine respiratory illness” going around that’s making dogs sick…

And I know how concerned you are for your dog’s health — so I wanted to reach out and share a little about this illness.

Here’s what you need to know

➤ Researchers do NOT believe this “mystery respiratory illness” can spread to you or your non-canine pets.1

➤ Symptoms include coughing, sneezing, wheezing, and struggling to breathe.2

➤ Although it’s not yet clear, experts assume the illness is spread through direct contact with infected dogs (such as sharing contaminated objects like balls, toys, and bowls).3

➤ The illness is more severe than previous known respiratory infections, and has been linked to cases of pneumonia.4

➤ While some dogs have responded well to medication, others are not responsive to typical treatments.5

➤ At this point, researchers don’t know the exact cause of this illness — however, it’s possible a new type of bacterium may be to blame.6

Now, I know this sounds like a lot of “unknowns” with potentially scary consequences…

But the good news is, there are some SUPER simple steps you can take to help reduce your pup’s chances of getting sick.

Here are 5 safety tips to help keep your dog healthy:

#1: Keep calm

The best way to help keep your dog safe in times like these is by staying calm and informed.

I know you’re worried about your pup, but remember — you can take steps to avoid their exposure to this illness…

And drastically reduce your dog’s chances of getting sick.

#2: Avoid contact with other dogs whenever possible

Avoiding exposure to other dogs is the BEST thing you can do to keep your dog safe.

Now, this doesn’t mean you have to keep your dogs in separate rooms if you have more than one pup…

But it DOES mean you should avoid common “public” dog areas, like:

  Dog parks
  Groomers
  Doggy daycares
  Boarding facilities

Even skipping doggy playdates with your friend’s and family’s dogs may be a good idea, for the time being.

#3: Wash your hands — especially after coming into contact with other dogs

This next step is super important to keep your pup safe:

Always wash your hands after touching any dog that’s not your own.

There’s still so much we don’t know about this “mystery illness”…

But regularly washing your hands is one of the best ways to reduce the spread of any infectious disease.

So whenever you come into contact with another dog —

Thoroughly wash your hands for 20 seconds with soap and warm water before touching your own pup.

#4: Watch your dog for any symptoms

Be on the lookout for symptoms of respiratory distress, like:

➞ Coughing
➞ Wheezing
➞ Shortness of breath

In addition to these respiratory symptoms, your pup may show other signs something’s not right, including:

➞ Sneezing or a runny nose
➞ Red or gunky eyes
➞ Lethargy
➞ Vomiting
➞ Loss of appetite7

#5: Contact your veterinarian if something seems “off” with your dog’s health

If you notice any symptoms like the ones listed above —

Contact your veterinarian immediately.

It’s important you don’t wait, as your dog’s symptoms may worsen quickly.

Note: Your veterinary clinic may have special protocols in place to minimize the spread of this illness.

Contact them before your arrival to see if they have any special check-in instructions.

Elizabeth, I wanted to reach out and share this critical information with you…

So you know what to look out for — and how to act fast if something seems off with your pup’s health.

Your pup relies on you to stay safe, and they’re lucky to have a pet parent like you in times like these.

If I hear any new information about this “mystery illness,” I’ll be sure to update you!

To you and your best friend,

Dr. Marty

P.S. It’s the holiday season —

Which means you may have some upcoming travel plans.

But I strongly encourage you to avoid boarding your pup to protect them from this “mystery respiratory illness.”

Sadly, no boarding facility can guarantee your dog’s safety…

So instead, I recommend one of the following options:

Hire an in-home dog sitter to watch your pup. If you don’t already have one, sites like Rover are a good place to start.

Phone a friend! Reach out to your community to see if any of your dog-free friends or family would be willing to watch your pup while you’re gone.

If possible, bring your pup with you, and stay at a pet-friendly hotel or vacation rental.

Now, I know these options might take a little more preparation and effort…

But taking these extra steps can help keep your pup safe this holiday season.
