⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR DOG OWNERS IN CARLISLE ⚠️
We have recently been made aware of confirmed cases of canine parvovirus (parvo) around the cumbria area.
Parvovirus is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening disease, particularly in puppies and unvaccinated dogs. Symptoms can include severe vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, dehydration, and loss of appetite.
To help protect our local dog population, we are strongly encouraging:
🐾 Puppies under 12 months of age should receive an additional DHP vaccination, even if they have already completed their primary course.
🐾 Dogs with lapsed vaccinations to take advantage of our Vaccine Amnesty and book an appointment to get their protection back up to date.
Vaccination remains the most effective way to protect your dog against parvovirus and reduce the risk of further spread within our community.
If you are unsure of your dog's vaccination status or would like to discuss the most appropriate protection for your pet, please contact the practice and our team will be happy to help.
📞 Call us today to book an appointment.
