Attention clients!! Please do not bring your dog into our facility if your dog is showing any of these symptoms. Please try to avoid heavily populated areas with your dog, parvo is a huge risk!

Public Safety Notice: Canine Parvovirus Alert
The Brewer Police Department is alerting community members to recent confirmed cases of canine parvovirus (PARVO) in the Brewer and Bangor area. Parvo is a highly contagious and potentially fatal viral disease that affects dogs, particularly those who are unvaccinated or under-vaccinated.
What We Know
• Several local cases of parvovirus have been confirmed in recent days and weeks.
• The affected dogs were not fully vaccinated against parvovirus.
• Cases are being reported in both Brewer and Bangor, with similar issues observed in other parts of Maine.
• Transmission occurs through exposure to infected vomit or f***s, and contaminated areas remain unsafe for dogs even after cleaning.
Why This Matters
Parvovirus spreads quickly and can survive in the environment for long periods of time. Without prevention efforts, this outbreak could expand, overwhelming local veterinary resources.
How to Protect Your Dog
• Vaccinate fully: Parvovirus vaccination is not legally required in Maine, but it is the best protection for your dog. Speak with your veterinarian about the full vaccination series.
• Allow time: Vaccines need 3–4 weeks to become fully effective.
• Get a booster: Dogs that are already vaccinated may benefit from a booster shot for added protection.
• Avoid public spaces if unvaccinated: Dogs that are not fully vaccinated should not be taken to public areas such as dog parks, waterfronts, or shared walking paths.
Signs of Parvovirus
Watch your dog for symptoms such as:
• Lethargy or weakness
• Vomiting or nausea
• Diarrhea (sometimes bloody)
• Fever
• Anemia
If your dog shows any of these signs, contact a veterinarian immediately. Do not bring a sick dog into public areas where they may expose others.
Community Responsibility
While rabies vaccination is the only legal requirement in Maine, the Brewer Police Department strongly urges all dog owners to take proactive measures to fully vaccinate their pets. Protecting your own dog also protects the health of the wider community.
________________________________________
⚠️ Help us prevent a wider outbreak — vaccinate your pets, watch for symptoms, and keep sick or unvaccinated dogs at home.
