RESPIRATORY DOG ILLNESS
Various veterinary facilities have reported an increase in cases of canine respiratory illness, ranging from mild upper respiratory signs to severe pneumonia. While the specific cause is currently unknown, diagnostic testing is underway.
As with any contagious illness, we recommend all dog owners partner with their veterinarian to ensure pets are current on the Bordetella and Influenza vaccine. We recommend limiting exposure to other dogs, especially if there is a known outbreak in your area. If a dog is exhibiting symptoms such as excessive coughing, labored breathing, significant lethargy, eye or nasal discharge, or loss of appetite, please call our office.

Our History
Clairmont Animal Hospital opened in August of 1990 when Dr. Smith and his wife, Denise, purchased the land and renovated the building which is now our hospital. The hospital’s present location has a very interesting past. It was the home of a locally famous Medicine man, a Civil war encampment site, a 1929 private residence, an antique shop, and a backpacking outfitter.
Clairmont Animal Hospital was founded on the belief that if an environment was created that provided excellent veterinary care with personalized client service, it would flourish. Initially, Dr. Smith was the sole veterinarian on staff and had a support staff of only two. The rapid growth to our present size is due to many factors, including years of dedication, hard work and sacrifice, an excellent and committed staff, and referrals from our clients.
Clairmont Animal Hospital is a full-service hospital providing complete medical and surgical services as well as boarding and grooming facilities. Although our patients are primarily dogs and cats, Dr. Smith is also licensed to treat wildlife. We take pride in our professional veterinary staff as well as our experienced and dedicated team of support staff.
At Clairmont Animal Hospital, our primary focus is on providing quality veterinary care and personalized customer service. We are morally and ethically committed to fulfilling the needs of our clients and patients with scientifically progressive equipment and procedures in a professional and compassionate setting.
