Sidra
This week's Pooch of the Week is Sidra, a 4 1/2 year old Boston Terrier. This lovable pooch has been both a frequent boarder and daycare visitor here over the last 3 years after being adopted through a local rescue. Sidra is the apple of her Mom's eye and is a favorite of the staff. When excited she wiggles her whole body and snorts!

Denver has
had several outbreaks of canine influenza and bordetella in the past few
years. Therefore dog owners must take
every precaution to reduce the risk of respiratory illnesses by properly
vaccinating for Bordetella every six
months and Canine Influenza once a
year along with Rabies and DHPP. Due
to Denver being considered a high risk area, national veterinarian associations,
researchers at Cornell University and most local veterinarians strongly recommend
this level of vaccinations.
Owners must also watch for any signs of respiratory illness with their dog or from any other dogs they come in contact with. Respiratory illnesses are spread between dogs in public places in the same way as humans coming in contact with contagious people in public places. Dogs are at a higher risk of exposure by going to dog parks, pet food stores and other places where dogs may not be properly vaccinated. As owners of Playful Pooch, we are diligent about reviewing vaccination records and taking a conservative approach to vaccinations. We require Rabies, DHPP, Bordetella every six months and Canine Influenza once a year. The initial Canine Influenza requires two vaccinations around three weeks apart, then once a year from that point on.
What a great Thanksgiving we are having at The Pooch! The weather is warm and the dogs are enjoying playing outside. With over 30 small dogs and over 45 large dogs, everyone is happy and busy at The Pooch.
Such a rare sight of Jackson actually resting for a minute or two. He loves to play non-stop with all the younger active dogs, but guess he even gets tired at times. Show us your pearlies Jackson!
