Due to the rise in the disease, vaccine is only 80% effective as it is not covering all strains. 

A step-by-step guide for US. 

And we have no one in Canada to report to!!

Dr. Dodds and Hemopet have been monitoring the “Mystery Illness in Dogs” that has been appearing around North America. Thankfully, it appears to be waning at this point in time. Overall, the concerted effort and collaboration amongst academia, veterinary practitioners, veterinary associations, and government agencies is commendable and should be praised.

Oskar - Therapy Doge Extraordinaire

Oskar has settled into his role as a therapy dog at the School of Creative Arts at UWindsor.

Oskar is the most sweet, calm and affectionate dog He comes to school two to four days a week, and the students call out his name when they hear his tags jingling down the hall! 

Recently, one of our faculty members died unexpectedly and Oskar came to classes to help her students. Last week he comforted an international student who was crying in the hallway whe she found out her parents were unable to pay her tuition (we helped her find a solution). Then he was our ambassador to a group of high school students who were touring the department to help them decide if they wanted to apply to the school. When Oskar comes to class, the students are down on the floor cuddling him when they need to de-stress…

A legend says that dogs with two different colour eyes can view heaven and earth at the same time (isn’t that lovely?) Another legend holds that heterochromatic dogs are natural protectors and considered spirit dogs. Some in the sled racing community hold that sled dogs with heterochromia are faster than dogs with the same color eyes, but we’ve not found evidence to support this.....
