All CAMPers are vaccinated against parvovirus, but just an FYI!

🐾 Pet Parents! Here's a friendly (and furry) health alert 🐾
Florida is currently experiencing elevated Parvo activity with over 1,300 confirmed cases statewide (30 in Cape Coral alone!), so the threat is very real.

Parvovirus is a scary, but preventable, virus that can threaten puppies and unvaccinated adult dogs. The good news? Vaccination is your best defense!

Key Facts
The Parvo vaccine is a core vaccine—recommended for all dogs.
Puppies: Start vaccines at 6–8 weeks, booster every 2-4 weeks until at least 16 weeks.
Adults: If unvaccinated or uncertain, get two shots ( vaccines) spaced 2–4 weeks apart.
Boosters: First booster within a year, then every 1-3 years depending on your dog’s potential exposure risk.

Treatment & Prevention
A CPMA monoclonal antibody treatment is a newly developed treatment with a high success rate.
We’ve used this treatment with very good outcomes!
Recently this treatment saved 27 Parvo-infected puppies in Brevard County! However, prevention through vaccination is far safer and more effective.

👉 Tip: Regular veterinary visits build healthier pups and a safer community. Let’s keep our furry family members wagging longer and stronger!

As we head into the fall season, keeping your pup well-groomed can go a long way in ensuring they're safe, comfortable, and lookin' good. This week, we’re sharing simple tips when it comes to brushing your dog:

✨ Dogs shed their summer coats to prepare for a thicker winter coat, so regular brushing is key to removing dead hair and preventing matting.

✨ Use tools like slicker brushes or shedding blades, especially for double or long-haired breeds, to effectively remove loose fur.

✨ Consider a Professional De-Shedding Treatment - If your dog has a particularly thick or double coat, a professional groomer can perform a de-shedding treatment to remove loose undercoat and improve ventilation.

Not sure how often to brush? Your groomer can guide you based on your dog’s coat type. Your pup will love the extra care. 🐶🍂
