We'd like to address recent inquiries regarding the US Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) investigation into certain pet foods and a potential link to heart disease.

Unfortunately, a concrete cause has not yet been established because the potential association between diet and heart disease is complex and likely involves numerous factors.



Protect your petTo better protect your dog against Lyme disease, we are now carrying the newest, most comprehensive vaccine called Vanguard crLyme.

This vaccine is unlike any other on the market, which is why any dog that has been vaccinated against Lyme disease previously will require an initial series of two vaccinations, followed by a yearly booster vaccine.

Please call us today at (973) 467-1700 to schedule your dog's vaccination and ensure your pet gets the best protection available. 

Leptospirosis is a disease caused by infection with Leptospira bacteria. These bacteria can be found worldwide in soil and in water. There are many strains of Leptospira bacteria that can cause disease. It is a zoonotic disease, which means it can be spread from animals to people.

pet vaccine needleDogs can become infected and develop leptospirosis if their mucous membranes (or skin with any wound, such as a cut or scrape) come into contact with infected urine, urine-contaminated soil, water, food or bedding; through a bite from an infected animal; by eating infected tissues or carcasses; and rarely, through breeding. It can also be passed through the placenta from the mother dog to the puppies.

Reducing your dog’s exposure to possible sources of the Leptospira bacteria can reduce its chances of infection. Annual vaccination is recommended for at-risk dogs. At Millburn Veterinary Hospital, we offer a vaccine that effectively prevents the disease and protect dogs for at least 12 months.

For maximum protection for your pet, we are now carrying the newest Canine Influenza vaccines that cover the most common strains of the virus. 

Canine Influenza WarningCall us at (973) 467-1700 to check your pet’s vaccination status. If your dog has already had a physical exam recently, we can schedule a technician appointment to administer the vaccines.

We recommend that high-risk dogs (see below) be vaccinated with the current vaccines as soon as possible, in an effort to give them the most effective protection against the virus. Dogs getting the vaccines for the first time must receive a booster three weeks later, even if they have previously received the older Influenza vaccine. After the initial series, the vaccine is given annually.
