****HEAT & WALKS****

During the heatwave walks will be a bit different. We will walk in shade where possible. If there is no shade or it is too hot we will have garden play . Your dear doggies will still get the pleasure of my company🤣 If you are at home and would like to cancel walks please let me know ASAP so I can plan my day . Thank you. Enjoy the heat but take care all 🔥🥵🔥🥵

🚨 Attention Halifax Dog Owners! 🚨

There are reports of canine parvovirus (parvo) in the Halifax area. Parvo is a highly contagious virus and is often fatal for dogs, particularly unvaccinated puppies.

Symptoms to Watch For:

Severe, often bloody, diarrhoea

Vomiting

Loss of appetite

Lethargy or weakness

Fever

If your dog exhibits any of these signs, contact your vet immediately. Early intervention is crucial for the best chance of recovery.

Preventative Measures:

ALWAYS PICK UP YOUR DOGS POO AND DISPOSE OF IN A BIN IF THERE ISN'T A BIN TAKE IT HOME AND BIN IT

Vaccination: Ensure your dog is up-to-date with their parvovirus vaccinations. Puppies should receive their initial vaccines followed by regular boosters as advised by your vet.

Hygiene: Avoid areas known to be contaminated and practice good hygiene after handling other dogs.

Awareness: Be cautious when socialising puppies or unvaccinated dogs, especially in public spaces.

Parvovirus can survive in the environment for extended periods, making it essential to maintain vigilance even in familiar areas.

Let's work together to keep our canine companions safe. Please share this information with fellow dog owners in Halifax and consult your vet
