🚨Parvo Outbreak in Southern Tasmania🚨

Please ensure that your dogs vaccinations are all up to date.
If you are unsure, give us a call
☎️ Hobart 6236 9787
☎️Channel Highway 6229 7939

🚨 We’re seeing multiple reports of canine parvovirus across Southern Tasmania, including cases shared within our local general practice community.

Parvovirus spreads easily between dogs and can cause severe illness, particularly in young puppies and dogs that are not fully vaccinated.

Dog owners are urged to:
• Ensure your dog’s vaccinations are up to date
• Avoid public parks, dog parks and shared areas for now
• Practice good hygiene (disinfect shoes, surfaces and equipment)
• Seek immediate veterinary care if your dog shows symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy or loss of appetite

⚠️ Parvovirus can survive in the environment for long periods, making prevention and vaccination especially important.

Keep your dogs safe and spread the word (not the virus). For further advice, contact your local veterinarian.

☀️Summer is finally here! 🎉

Don't be a hot mess, walk those dogs in the morning or evening when it's not scorching hot outside 🐶.

If you can't keep them indoors where it's cool, make sure they've got shade and cold water (not the kind that's been baking in the sun) 🌡️.

Heat stroke is no joke, folks! 🙅‍♀️

And for the love of all things furry, don't leave your dog in the car, not even for a sec 🚗. That's just ruff!
