We want to make all our lovely customers aware that canine parvovirus (Parvo) is believed to be circulating, with 3 positive cases now reported. The Manxman / Scar Path area is currently believed to be affected.
Parvo is a highly contagious and potentially life-threatening virus, particularly dangerous for puppies and unvaccinated dogs. Please take extra precautions to help keep your pups safe. πΎπ
ππ₯πππ¬π π«ππ¦ππ¦πππ« : ANY dog can contract parvovirus, even if they are fully vaccinated. Vaccination significantly reduces the risk of infection and helps protect against severe illness, giving your dog a much better chance of fighting the virus.
π¨ Symptoms to look out for include:
πΎ Vomiting
πΎ Diarrhoea, particularly severe or bloody diarrhoea
πΎ Lethargy, weakness or unusual tiredness
πΎ Loss of appetite
πΎ Fever or unusually low body temperature
πΎ Abdominal pain or discomfort
πΎ Dehydration

If your dog is showing any signs of illness, please keep them at home, away from other dogs, and contact your vet for advice. If Parvo is suspected, call your vet before attending so they can take the necessary precautions.
π§Ό How you can help protect your pups:
β’ Keep vaccinations up to date and check your dogβs vaccination status with your vet.
β’ Avoid areas where cases are suspected, and keep your dog away from dog faeces.
β’ Clean and disinfect suitable surfaces, footwear, leads and other items that may have been contaminated, using a product effective against parvovirus and following its instructions.
β’ Practise good hygiene after walks and contact with other dogs.
β’ Monitor your dog closely for any changes in their health.
Parvo can survive in the environment for a long time, and ordinary household disinfectants may not be effective against it.
We know how much your dogs mean to you, and their health and safety are always a priority. π Please remain vigilant, share this information where possible, and help us protect our daycare family.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperationπΆπ
