Before you take off on family vacations, make sure your dog is protected.
Although ITB is not a seasonal disease complex, the spring and summer seasons often include travel for families and their pets. Pleasant weather and long daylight hours greatly increase the chance of dog-to-dog contact in commonly frequented areas, from the local dog park to highway rest stops. In addition to planning an enjoyable outing with your pet, it's a good time to plan for his health needs too.
Last minute trip? Don't wait until the last minute to protect your pet.
The time to think about ITB is before it actually affects your dog. ITB can be safely and effectively prevented through annual vaccination. But in order to become effective, the vaccination has to be given at least five days ahead of expected exposure. Dr. Malcolm Kram, a veterinarian with Pfizer Animal Health, says, "We are recommending that dog owners see their veterinarians to vaccinate their pets against ITB as part of an overall annual pet wellness program."
