CANINE CARVOVIRUS WARNING

-

We have no�ced an increased number of dogs with Canine Parvovirus (Parvo) within our communi�es. The virus has an incuba�on period of 6-10 days for symptoms to show in a dog. Parvo can live within the environmen­t up to nine years which makes it very difficult to control. Unvaccinat­ed puppies and older dogs are the most vulnerable and suscep�ble to catching the disease. If your dog has not yet had any parvo vaccina�ons or is due for a booster, please ensure you visit the vets to be�er protect your canines.
