Currently, we have been treating numerous cases of Parvovirus. This is a very serious viral infection that can lead to severe dehydration and death. Vaccinating your dog is the best way to help prevent canine parvovirus infection.

New Plymouth Vet Groupโs advice, with the vaccine we currently use, is for puppies to receive at a minimum, their final puppy vaccination at 12 weeks of age. ๐ ๐ณ๐๐ฟ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐ฝ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ธ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐ผ๐ป๐ด๐น๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฑ.
