🚨 Parvovirus Alert! 🚨
There is currently an outbreak of Parvovirus in Northland, Parvo is a highly contagious and often deadly virus that affects dogs, especially puppies. It attacks the gastrointestinal system, causing:
⚠️ Severe vomiting
⚠️ Bloody diarrhea
⚠️ Lethargy & loss of appetite
⚠️ Fever or low body temperature
🐶 Prevention is key! 🐶
✔️ Vaccinate your puppy & keep boosters up to date
✔️ Avoid public places until fully vaccinated
✔️ Disinfect areas where infected dogs have been
✔️ Seek veterinary care immediately if you notice symptoms
How Parvovirus spreads? Parvo spreads easily through contact with infected dogs, f***s, or contaminated surfaces. It can survive in the environment for months to even years! Please keep your dogs away from areas where the virus is easily spread such as the dog park, loop and other areas that often have a high rate of unvaccinated dogs.
Our cleaning products at the clinic are all certified to kill Parvovirus, Leptospirosis and other diseases and our staff do an excellent job with deep cleaning on a daily basis. Please please if your dog has any of these symptoms listed above DO NOT ENTER the clinic!! Please stay in your vehicle with your dog, and phone the clinic to let us know you are here. This also applies to dogs that are vaccinated.
We ask that anyone who has a new puppy or attends our puppy classes PLEASE keep them off the ground in the car park and carry them into the clinic for safety precautions. We have a fenced off area that is safe for puppies that we can lead you to if they need to use the toilet.
Thank you everyone! This will help keep our clients safe and everyone safe from spreading this horrible virus. If you have any questions, don't hestitate to call us on 094371101. Thanks!! 🥰
