The season for Canine Parvovirus has started! 🦠
This is a virus that is highly contagious and causes disease in young unvaccinated dogs. Puppies are very predisposed to this virus because of their compromised immunity and vaccination status.
It causes a gastrointestinal illness in the infected pups, which could be fatal, and is really just a horrible virus to see them suffer from.
If you currently have a puppy in the family here are a few tips on prevention of the virus:
🐶Do not take puppies that are unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated out to public dog parks.
🐶Ensure that your puppy’s vaccinations are up to date as per the veterinarians instructions. A total of 3 vaccines must be administered 6–8, 10–12, and 14–16 weeks of age, followed by a booster administered 1 year later and then every 3 years.
🐶Keep the environment where the puppy lives as clean as possible, and have minimal contact with other dogs and puppies until they are fully vaccinated.

Winter pains❄️
It’s the coldest time of the year!!🥶
Winter is back, and it has come with quite the chilly entrance this year.
It is not just a cold time, but for some of our geriatric dogs and cats a painful time.
As they get older their joint health is not what it used to be. Have you noticed them get up with more difficulty than before, how they run or walk with a bit more effort than, or are not very interested to move around much?
This comes with old age and gets worse in the winter!
There are various treatment plans that can be discussed specifically for your pet’s needs.
Call us on (012) 993 2315 or chat to us on WhatsApp (071) 641 9444
Today we just want to give you a few tips on keeping the fur babies warm this winter:
🐶Ensure that they have good shelter that is out of the chilly wind.
🐶Give them a blanket to keep them all cozy.
🐶Get them a jersey or sweater
🐶Check- up on them every morning
🐶Give lukewarm water instead of cold water
