‼️ URGENT NEWS ‼️
Over the weekend we have had a case that we strongly suspect to have been Canine Parvovirus in a dog in the Ambleside area.
Canine parvovirus is highly contagious in dogs. It classically produces signs of lethargy, vomiting and bloody diarrhoea. About 9 out of 10 dogs will die if they contract parvovirus.
The virus can potentially remain active in the ground for several years.
Routine dog vaccinations are highly effective at preventing the disease.
If your dog is up to date with its vaccines you do not need to take further action.
If your dog has not had a vaccine within the last year we strongly recommend that you have them vaccinated in the very near future. If they have not been vaccinated within the last year they may require a vaccination restart which consists of 2 vaccines, 4 weeks apart. We currently have a vaccine amnesty program running where you pay for just the one vaccine. This offer ends at the end of August.
