Community Dog Bowls
May Put Your Dog at Risk:
Although our council has been amazing in supplying these fantastic water stations and our caring businesses put out dog bowls for our use, unfortunately these vessels can spread bacteria, parasites, and viruses as saliva and stagnant water can allow illness to pass easily between dogs.
Risks include:
β’ Kennel cough & canine influenza
β’ Giardia & intestinal worms
β’ E. coli, Salmonella & Leptospirosis
β’ Parvovirus
β’ Canine papilloma virus
Safer choice:
Bring your own bowl & fill at water stations and/or use your own fresh water πΎ
