May, 2009

There has been an increased incidence of Canine Kennel Cough across the country and also in our general area.  It is the decision of the Glenwood Veterinary Clinic that we make changes to our canine boarding requirements in order to continue to provide the greatest care to your animals.

We are requiring that an intra-nasal Kennel Cough vaccination be given twice yearly.  At this time we are requiring that it be given at least 1 week prior to boarding in our facility.  We strongly recommend for our patients that are boarding at other facilities to receive the vaccine, whether or not the facility requires it.  This is to ensure the best care for your animals.

If you are uncertain whether or not your animal is current, or if you have any questions regarding these changes please contact the clinic at 712-527-9454.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.  We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause, as always we are most concerned with your animals well being.

Sincerely,

The Doctors and Staff of the Glenwood Veterinary Clinic
