Canine influenza is a newly emerging infectious disease caused by a "flu" virus. In dogs, a highly contagious strain of the influenza A virus known as H3N8 is able to cause respiratory illness. Other strains of the influenza A virus are responsible for causing infections in birds, horses, pigs, and people. For more information go to our links page and click on canine influenza. Our goal is to have every dog that comes to Ruffner's vaccinated for canine influenza by Summer 2010

Kim Ruffner Earns Title of "Certified Kennel Operator"
The Pet Care Association is proud to add Kimberlee Ruffner, co-owner of Ruffner's Luxury Pet Boarding of St. Charles, to their list of Certified Kennel Operators. This accomplishment is based on Kim's knowledge of working with a vast variety of animals, as well as her ability to successfully run a boarding facility. Upon taking a number of written tests and participating in extensive interviews she was part of the 5% that successfully completed the program. This accomplishment and prestigous title puts Kim in a class above competitors because of the hard work and dedication she has proven in her practice.
