🦠There’s been a recent spike in parvovirus cases locally. This highly contagious and potentially deadly virus affects unvaccinated dogs — especially puppies.
What can owners do?
🐾Check your dog’s vaccination status today. Parvovirus can spread quickly through parks, on footpaths and even on shoes or clothing.
If your dog is unwell — showing signs like vomiting, diarrhoea, or lethargy — contact your vet immediately.
💉Prevention is key: Vaccination is the most effective protection against parvovirus.
Puppies should start their vaccine course from 6–8 weeks of age, with boosters every 4 weeks until at least 16 weeks old, followed by regular revaccination as advised by your vet.
