‼️PARVOVIRUS‼️

Canine Parvovirus is baaaaaad right now. We have had 4 cases in the last month and a half, affecting about 30 dogs (most were litters of puppies) in the shelter. These pups came in as strays with the virus already brewing in their system and breaking with clinical signs about a week later. Luckily, we contained it to just the initially effected cages. Phew. Are we stressed out and panic any time we see vomit and bloody diarrhea in a cage... you know it! We've also had numerous owned dogs come in due to being ill, and the owners chose not to treat or couldn't afford treatment.

We have treated these cases and have had a decent survival rate. Some dogs even made it through treatment, and we're adopted before the area they lived in was off their quarantine period.

Parvovirus is so highly contagious & can be spread so easily that your dog does not even need to leave their yard to contract this disease & you the owner can take it home on the bottom of your shoes or on your clothing. The most common places for contraction of parvo are dog parks, communial potty areas in housing developments, and pet stores. Unvacinated dogs should not visit these areas until the full series of vaccinations is complete. We know it's cute to go get your new puppy a fancy collar and treats, but unfortunately, it's just not safe.

Dogs, who are puppies & not had their full course of vaccinations, as well as younger dogs who are not vaccinated at all, are most at risk of contracting this horrible disease. If left untreated, the pet generally passes.

Join us in our morning chant: "no parvo, no parvo, no parvo"

VACCINATIONS NEEDED FOR BOARDING

Just a quick reminder that if you have plans to board your dog with us, please be sure to check your vaccination records. Proper vaccinations will help ensure that both you and your pup have a wonderful vacation.

Dogs are required to have four vaccinations – Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, Bordetella and Canine Influenza. We also recommend that your dog receive the Leptospirosis vaccine, but this one is not required. All vaccinations must be good through the end of your dog’s stay.

We need to have a copy the vaccination records in our files that show these vaccines. The vaccinations shown on your records may not reflect the names shown above. For example, the Distemper/Parvo vaccination may show up as “4-way”. If you are in any doubt, please email us the records and we will be happy to look them over.
