🚨 DOG WALKERS: PLEASE STAY SAFE AROUND BROOKLANDS LAKE 🐾

With the Bank Holiday weekend approaching and temperatures remaining high, we wanted to share an important warning from Dartford Borough Council.

Brooklands Lake, which is just down the road from Mead Veterinary Centre, is currently affected by concerns around algae blooms and water quality. 🌿💧

Dogs can become seriously unwell if they:
❌ Drink contaminated or unsuitable water
❌ Swim in affected water
❌ Ingest infected remains or material around the lake

Please keep your dogs away from the water at Brooklands Lake until further updates are provided.

☀️ Instead, consider choosing a shaded, dry walking route and take plenty of fresh water with you. Remember, your dog won’t suffer from missing a walk — but they could become seriously ill from accessing unsafe water.

If you become concerned that your pet is unwell after being around the lake, please contact us on 01322 223311📱

⚠️🦠 PARVOVIRUS 🦠⚠️

With an increase of confirmed reports of parvovirus in Maidstone, we would like to make everyone aware that parvovirus is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening virus, particularly dangerous for puppies and unvaccinated dogs.

⚠️ Signs to look out for include:
• Vomiting
• Severe diarrhoea, which is usually bloody
• Lethargy
• Loss of appetite
• Dehydration

If you notice these symptoms, contact your vet immediately. Early treatment and intensive supportive care can make a huge difference.

🛡️ Prevention is key!
Keeping your dog’s vaccinations up to date is one of the best ways to protect them against parvovirus. Good hygiene and avoiding contact with dogs of unknown vaccination status can also help reduce the risk.

💚 Did you know?
The parvovirus vaccine is included in your dog’s routine booster vaccinations, which are included on our VIP Health Plan.

If you’re unsure whether your dog’s vaccinations are up to date, give our team a call — we’re happy to help.
