Don't wait, vaccinate 💉

The best way to protect your dog is with regular vaccinations throughout their life. Unvaccinated dogs are at risk and it is usually fatal without intensive treatment. Give us a call to speak with a member of our team to check if your pets vaccinations are up to date 🐶

🐶Parvovirus is widespread, life-threatening & highly contagious.⚠️

Cases are seen frequently in unvaccinated dogs due to the ability of the virus to survive in the environment for over a year with resistance to commonly used disinfectants and freezing temperatures.

The best way to protect your dog is with regular vaccinations throughout their life. Unvaccinated dogs are at risk and it is usually fatal without intensive treatment. Check with your vet today if your dog’s vaccinations are up to date.
