    Common Dog Illnesses 

Distemper is a viral disease commonly transmitted by contact with infected dogs or their environments.  Flu like symptoms are common with distemper and in later stages the virus attacks the nervous system.

Parainfluenza is a viral infectious bronchitis also known as kennel cough which is easily transmitted through boarding, grooming, or in dog runs.

Parvovirus is a serious viral disease affecting the intestines, white blood cells, and heart. Fever, vomiting, dehydration, and severe diarrhea are associated with this disease. 

Rabies is a contagious and fatal viral disease that attacks the nervous system.

Bordetella is a bacterial infectious bronchitis (severe kennel cough)

Heartworm is a serious and dangerous disease that can be prevented by giving your pet heartworm pills each month. We recommend a once a month regimen of Interceptor, Sentinel, or Revolution to prevent heartworm disease and intestinal parasites. They are named Heartworm  because adult worms live in the heart and lungs. The disease is spread by the mosquito.

  • Heartworm can cause clotting of the arteries.

  • Worms are carried to the lungs via the bloodstream and can cause lung and heart failure.
