Hello local peeps. Please be sure to check/update your dogs parvo vax. I have heard there is a parvo outbreak here in eastern Iowa. Even adult dogs can pick up parvo if they are exposed. They can carry it with them even when not affected. Use caution in taking your dogs out in public and interacting with unknown animals. Keep puppies off the ground in public areas. Parvo can live on the ground for a very long time (6 months?)
Parvo is usually more common in southern states, but it can travel by infected dogs in transport.
Best wishes to all!!
