🐾 A little reassurance and important reminder from Walk Dog Run
Following a recent confirmed case of canine parvovirus (parvo) locally, I wanted to reassure everyone that I’m continuing to take hygiene and cleanliness seriously to help keep all our furry friends safe.
Parvovirus is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening illness, particularly for puppies and dogs who aren’t fully vaccinated. Although vaccination offers the best protection, no vaccine is 100% effective, so it’s important we all stay vigilant.
Please keep me informed if your dog is unwell, showing any symptoms, or may have been exposed to parvovirus.
💉 Please check that vaccinations and boosters are up to date. If you’re unsure, your vet will be happy to advise.
🧼 Cleaning and hygiene: I’ll continue my regular cleaning and disinfecting routine for the van, crates and equipment, taking care to maintain a clean environment and reduce the risk of infection spreading.
❤️ If your dog develops symptoms such as vomiting, severe diarrhoea, loss of appetite or unusual tiredness, please keep them at home and contact your vet immediately. Please let me know before any scheduled walks so we can take the appropriate precautions.
Thank you for your understanding and support. By working together, we can help protect our dogs and keep our four-legged friends safe and happy.
