DENTAL HEALTH AWARENESS

Keeping your companions oral health up to snuff is important. Poor oral hygiene with subsequent tartar, gingivitis, periodontal disease and resorptive enamel lesions (in cats) can all lead to a painful mouth and is leading cause of premature aging in our companions. Periodontal disease can serve as a source of infection that enters the blood steam and affects overall kidney, lung and heart health. Together we can create a dental health program that suits your lifestyle and meets the needs of your family friend.

January through March we will be sponsoring "Winter White" Dental Health Awareness by offering complimentary dental examinations with a nurse and a
20% discount on a routine dental cleaning.

CALL TODAY to set up an appointment with a nurse for a
complimentary oral health evaluation.

CANINE INFLUENZA (Dog Flu)

Canine Influenza is a newly emerging infectious disease caused by a "flu" virus. In dogs, a highly contagious strain of the influenza A virus known as H3N8 is able to cause respiratory illness. The most common sign of canine influenza is a persistent cough.

Recently, a new canine influenza vaccine was approved for use in the United States. Canine Influenza Vaccine, H3N8 has been clinically proven to significantly reduce the severity of influenza and the length of time that a dog is sick.

Because of the highly infectious nature of this disease and the close proximity of our canine companions, Society Hill Veterinary Hospital currently recommends that all of our canine patients receive the H3N8 canine influenza vaccine. Please call to schedule your companions vaccine today.
