🚨 Parvovirus Alert: Protect Your Pup! 🐶💉

Parvovirus (parvo) is a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus that affects dogs, especially puppies and unvaccinated pets. It spreads easily through infected poo, contaminated surfaces, and even on shoes or hands — and it can survive in the environment for months! 🦠

👉 Symptoms include:
• Severe vomiting
• Bloody diarrhea
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite
• Fever

Parvo can progress rapidly and requires urgent veterinary treatment. But the good news? It’s preventable. ✅

🛡️ Vaccination is the best protection!
Ensure your dog is:
✔️ Fully vaccinated (especially during puppyhood)
✔️ Up to date with boosters as adults
✔️ Kept away from high-risk areas (like dog parks) until fully vaccinated

📅 Not sure if your dog is protected? Call us today to check their vaccination status or book an appointment. Let’s keep your pets safe and stop the spread of this nasty virus.

Summer is well and truely here to stay with recent high temperatures soaring across the state with more to come! It’s important with these warmer days to be vigilant when it comes to keeping your pets safe and cool!

Signs and symptoms of Heat Stroke:
- Diarrhoea
- Vomiting
- Dizziness/Cognitive Impairment
- Seizures
- Heavy Panting
- Excessive Drool
- Bright/Dark red gums/tongue or Pale/Blue Gums/tongue
- Increased heart rate
- Collapse/weakness

Especially keep a close eye on your brachycephalic friends (e.g Dogs: pugs, frenchies, staffys, bulldogs & Cats: Persians, Burmese, British shorthair) will struggle more to cool them selves down with their restricted airways.

Here’s some tips for keeping your pet cool 😎 :
- Exercise early hours of the morning or later of an evening to avoid peak heat
- Don’t over exercise during warmer weather
- Ensure plenty of water available- multiple bowls
- Don’t leave your pet in the car on a hot day (regardless of windows cracked and parked in shade - temperature in a car can soar rapidly)
- Ideally keep your pets indoor where it’s cool with aircon or fans
- Ensure adequate shade available outside
- 7 Second Rule: pavement can get hot very quickly and if too hot can burn your pets paws. Place the back of your hand on the pavement for approx 7 seconds - if you can’t keep your hand there for more than 7 seconds then it’s too hot for your pets feet!

Stay Sun Safe 🌞 🌊
