Parvovirus Awareness – Protect Your Pup
Parvovirus (often called “parvo”) is a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease that we unfortunately seeing a lot of dogs at the moment showing symptoms due to the rain and warmer weather — especially in unvaccinated dogs and puppies.
Know the signs – early action can save lives:
• Severe, often bloody diarrhoea
• Vomiting
• Lethargy (extreme tiredness)
• Loss of appetite
• Fever or low body temperature
• Rapid dehydration
Parvo spreads easily through contaminated environments, soil, and even on shoes or clothing — meaning your pup doesn’t need direct contact with another dog to be at risk.
The good news? Parvo is preventable.
Vaccination is the best and most effective protection for your dog. Puppies need a full course of vaccinations, and adult dogs require regular boosters to stay protected.
Why it matters:
Parvo can progress quickly and often requires intensive (and costly) treatment. Sadly, not all dogs survive — but vaccination dramatically reduces this risk.
Our advice:
If your puppy isn’t fully vaccinated (2 or more puppy vaccinations), avoid dog parks and public areas.
If your dog shows any symptoms, contact us immediately — don’t wait.
