The impact of parvovirus on dogs has become increasingly evident during the summer season, with veterinary clinics in South Auckland witnessing its devastating effects.
Low vaccination rates and limited understanding of the virus have contributed to its prevalence in this region.
To minimize the risk of transmission, it is crucial to keep unvaccinated dogs or puppies confined to your home and prevent interactions with other dogs until vaccination is complete, thereby safeguarding your dog and the broader canine community.
For personalized guidance on vaccinating your dog or puppy, we encourage you to consult your local veterinary clinic. It is essential to recognize that vaccinations are more cost-effective than treating parvovirus, which frequently results in fatalities, and can alleviate significant pain and distress for both dogs and their owners.
If you have a dog it’s important that you understand the vaccines available to them and how these protect your pet’s health.
