Parvovirus is one of the most serious diseases we see in young dogs, but it’s also one of the most preventable.

Here are three things every dog owner should know:

🐾 Parvovirus can survive in the environment for months and is resistant to many common cleaning and disinfecting products. It can spread through contaminated soil, shoes, bowls, toys, and other surfaces.

💉 Vaccination is your puppy’s best protection. Keeping your dog’s vaccines up to date is the most effective way to prevent parvovirus.

🏥 Don’t wait if you notice symptoms. Vomiting, diarrhea (especially bloody diarrhea), lethargy, loss of appetite, or fever can all be signs of parvovirus. Contact your veterinarian immediately if your puppy develops any of these symptoms. Early treatment can make all the difference.

The more people who know the signs, the more lives we can help protect.
