*COVID -19 PANDEMIC*

As per our previous Coronavirus Post, in just a week confirmed cases jumped from 62 to 544 in South Africa resulting to them being put on a 21-day lockdown. Therefore, we are formally haulting all business services till further notice to allow for the pandemic to pass and contribute to keeping Botswana with no confirmed cases.

All customer deposits have been refunded in full as promised and those clients will be given priority when we restore operations.

Please listen to Gorvenment advice and practice good hygiene. We wish every family long health.

*CORONA VIRUS*

As an effort to contribute to national safety following the COVID-19 PRESS RELEASE from the Botswana Government, attached below; We have decided to temporarily halt all business services till further notice, as a major part of our work involves importing from hard hit neighbour South Africa. Though it has not been listed as a high- risk country, the virus is spreading at an alarming rate and we would not be willing to expose ourselves and clients to this deadly virus unnecessarily.

Therefore, if there is no major change in the current status of SA and Gorvenment's decision to leave boarders open, we will include one final order due to the high volumes of request and promises we have already made to you, on Saturday 28th March 2020 to allow for those who get paid month end, before this pause in business will take effect. We remind our customers that a 50% deposit latest Monday prior to departure will be the only means to secure your pet. Should the situation take a turn for the worst, the trip will be cancelled immediately and all clients will be reimbursed fully. We advise those who are serious about getting a puppy attempt to push for this Saturday as we have seen in 2 weeks a lot can change.

We look forward to your usual cooperation & understanding.

Pet Connect Team.

☠️PARVOVIRUS WARNING☠️

Parvovirus is the name given to a deadly canine disease and the virus that causes it.

Parvovirus (also known as “parvo” for short) is a terrible disease for dogs, with the symptoms being even more severe in puppies. Studies suggest that without proper treatment mortality rates in dogs can exceed 90%.

TRANSMISSION

Parvovirus is most commonly transmitted from one dog to another through the faeces or bodily fluids. For this reason, parvovirus is more prevalent where cleanliness and hygiene are lacking.

It is important to note that the virus is incredibly tough and, unlike many other viruses, can survive outside the canine body for long periods of time. Most experts agree that the virus can survive in the environment for years.

This is important because it is possible for non-vaccinated dogs to pick up the virus unexpectedly, even when they have not come into direct contact with other dogs. Transmission may come from contact with another dog’s faeces or even from sharing bedding or bowls.

For this reason if parvovirus is suspected complete isolation of the dog is essential to prevent the virus infecting other animals. Thorough cleaning (with lots of bleach) of everything the dog may have been in contact with has to follow.

SYMPTOMS

The main problem with Parvo is swelling of the intestine. This typically leads to symptoms like lethargy and severe vomiting and diarrhoea (often with signs of blood).

In puppies the symptoms can develop super quickly. The outlook for infected dogs is extremely bad, so early identification and treatment are crucial.

To be certain of a diagnosis it will be necessary for a vet to examine your pet.

TREATMENT

Sadly there are currently no medications that will cure parvovirus. Treatment therefore focuses on treating the symptoms of parvo, thus allowing your dog’s immune system the resources it needs to fight off the infection.

Treating parvovirus can be an expensive exercise. For this reason alone caring dog owners also vaccinate as early as possible to prevent infection.

PREVENTION

Sadly, many puppies in Botswana remain unvaccinated. Just as is the case with humans, the vast majority of dogs need to be fully vaccinated for the disease to be controlled and for the weak and unvaccinated individuals to be protected (herd immunity).

If you have a puppy it is important to make sure your dog has received all shots it needs. Many dogs sold by amateur breeders are only vaccinated once, if at all. That provides no protection at all.

Don’t take risks with your pet’s health just to save a some cash on the cost of vaccination; far better to invest now and rest easy knowing your pet is protected from this unpleasant infection.

Meet Ket 😹,
This is a before and after of her. We found her just 2 weeks ago in the trash can near my place. She was feral, cold and hungr at only 4weeks old. Clearly traumatised because she almost bit our fingers when we tried to rescue her. 😳

We managed to prevail and took her in.🙏 Got her to the vet and gave her a wash and a meal. Now she is such a jolly kitten that we have adopted. Amazing what a little love can do. Please stop abandoning & abusing animals. They just want love too🐾

If you choose to keep an animal know it is for it's life, and they have an average of over a decade life span. At the very least take them to BSPCA if the matter is so urgent. 😪

Please share for awareness.

APPRECIATION POST

Ridgeback Lovers meet the Thai Ridgeback.

The Thai Ridgeback is a muscular, medium-sized dog with a streamlined body that makes him very agile and a natural athlete. The ridge on his back is formed by hair growing in the opposite direction from the rest of his coat and the breed has up to 8 different ridge patterns. Puppies can be born without this ridge. Coat colors include solid blue, black, red or fawn with a black mask occasionally on the red-coated dogs. Thai Ridgebacks also have spotted tongues and some even come with solid black/blue tongues. Today, most Ridgebacks are companion dogs, but they still maintain many of the same instincts for the jobs for which they were bred: hunting and guarding. They had to be independent, self-sufficient and hunt for their own food, which gave them strong survival instincts, a high prey drive, and a high level of intelligence.

History

The Thai Ridgeback is an old breed which can be seen in archeological documents in Thailand written about 360 years ago. It was used mainly for hunting in the eastern part of that country. People also used it to es**rt their carts and as a watch dog. The reason why it has kept its own original type for so many years is due to poor transportation systems in the eastern part of Thailand; it had fewer chances to crossbreed with other breeds. Today, the breed is still very rare outside of Thailand.

Greetings everyone, to be clear we do not do matings, we do not offer volunteer work nor do we advertise puppies for local individuals on this page.
The service we provide is we import animals from select breeders in South Africa. Since we use different breeders don't always expect prices to be the same as each breeder have their own prices set nothing we can do about it.
Thank you.
