Please be safe with your pups! Always vaccinate and take care on outings!
Canine Parvovirus (Parvo) Advisory🚨
The Northglenn Police Department’s Animal Control Unit has been made aware of a Parvo outbreak in Northglenn. Animal Control officers, local veterinarians and shelters are working with pet owners to ensure the affected dogs receive care.
While the investigation continues, we encourage all dog owners to take the following precautions:
Vaccinations:
Ensure your pets are up to date on all vaccines, especially Parvo, which is typically administered as DA2PP/DHPP every three years in adult dogs. By law, dogs and cats must have a current rabies vaccination and proof of vaccination at all times. Avoid letting unvaccinated puppies have contact with other animals or visit areas where many pets frequent until they’ve completed their full vaccination series.
Parvo Symptoms:
Lethargy, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, loss of appetite, rapid weight loss or changes in body temperature. If your dog shows any of these signs, please contact your veterinarian as soon as possible.
Prevention & Cleaning:
Parvo spreads through contact with infected f***s or vomit and can remain on surfaces even after cleanup. Only bleach, when used properly, will kill the virus on contaminated surfaces.
For Questions or Reporting:
Contact your veterinarian for any medical concerns. For non-medical questions, contact Northglenn Animal Control at 303-450-8886 or email [email protected] / [email protected].
If your dog has tested positive for Parvo, please notify Animal Control.
