PSA ❗️❗️❗️ We are seeing an influx of parvo virus cases! Please make sure your pets are protected.
Canine parvovirus is highly contagious and is spread by direct dog to dog contact and contact with contaminated environment! Most deaths from parvovirus occur within 48-72 hours following the onset of clinical signs. Clinical signs include lethargy, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. If your puppy or dog shows any of these signs, you should contact your veterinarian immediately! Vaccinating your dog can reduce the number of dogs in the area that could become infected and spread the disease. That means Vaccinating your dog can protect both your dog and other dogs in your community! Ask us about our wellness plans to help get your pets preventative care! 🐾💉
