Many of you have written to ask for more “behind the scenes” action here at SP Kennel, and we’re happy bring it to you. In fact, we’ve got a 3-part mini-series that we think is exactly that. Here’s the set-up:
After last weekend’s full schedule of running dogs — on two 50-mile day-trips in the White mountains, in the Two Rivers Tune Up Race and on some other local training runs — Monday was a “day off” for the dogs. A day off from running, that is. With Bridgett in town to help, it was a good time to do a full-out “Dog Care Day.” In Part-1 of the series, we’ll show you how we vaccinate a yard full of sled dogs. As you will see, Dog Care Day is an immense undertaking and the numbers soon become staggering to consider. So, we’ll start you off with the smallest number first: 60 dogs, 60 vaccinations.
Great vid! How do you stay up to date with what vaccines to give and when?
Thanks for the question! Actually, it's a matter of routine around here to "stay up to date" on stuff like vaccines… Between ongoing relationships with numerous vets and vendors — and the fact that folks around here are always talking to each other about dogs and dog stuff — I think it just kind of happens in conversation!
