An important message from our neighbors Lone Tree Animal Care Center!
In the last two weeks, we have seen three Parvo-positive dogs. One died. We want to make sure everyone knows the facts about Parvo and how easy it is to prevent.

Protect your pup! ๐ถ Parvovirus is a deadly threat, but it's ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐น๐ ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ with vaccination.
Canine Parvovirus (Parvo) is a highly contagious virus that attacks the rapidly dividing cells in a dogโs body, primarily the lining of the intestines and the bone marrow.
๐ถ Intestines: The virus destroys the protective gut barrier, leading to severe illness. Your dog will feel terribleโexperiencing relentless, foul-smelling, often bloody vomiting and diarrhea, which quickly leads to dangerous dehydration and abdominal pain.
๐ถ Immune System: By attacking the bone marrow, Parvo weakens the immune system, making it nearly impossible for your dog to fight off common bacterial infections that leak from the damaged gut. They will be profoundly lethargic, weak, and lose their appetite, making them feel utterly miserable and severely ill.
Parvo is a rapid, often fatal disease, especially in unvaccinated puppies.

We have treated three Parvo-positive dogs in the last two weeks here at Lone Tree Animal Care Center. This indicates the virus is actively being spread around the area. If your dog is not fully vaccinated, they are at risk!

The good news is that Parvo is a core vaccine for dogs! At Lone Tree Animal Care Center, we include Parvo (along with distemper, adenovirus, parainfluenza, and leptospirosis) protection in the standard puppy vaccine series.
This simple, scheduled series of vaccinations is the safest and most effective way to give your dog life-saving immunity.

The cost of prevention is a fraction of the cost of treatment!
๐ถ Complete Parvo Vaccine Series:
๐ถ Cost: Relatively Inexpensive (Part of the initial puppy shots).
๐ถ Details: Simple, quick, and protects your dog for life.
๐ถ Parvo Hospitalization/Treatment:
๐ถ Cost: ๐ต๐ต๐ต Hundreds to Thousands of Dollars ๐ต๐ต๐ต.
๐ถ Details: Requires days of intensive, 24-hour care, IV fluids, medications, and isolationโand tragically, even with treatment, survival is not guaranteed.
Don't risk your dog's life or your wallet. Make sure your puppy or unvaccinated dog gets their complete vaccine series on schedule.
