🚨 March Marks the Start of Puppy Parvovirus Season! 🚨
Spring brings warmer weather, but it also means puppy parvovirus cases start rising. This highly contagious and deadly virus spreads easily, especially in young or unvaccinated puppies.
🐶 How to Avoid Getting a Puppy with Parvo
Before bringing home a new puppy, be sure they’ve had age-appropriate vaccinations and come from a reputable breeder or rescue that follows strict health protocols. Ask for vaccine records and avoid puppies from questionable sources where health screenings may be lacking.
🛑 How to Prevent Parvo in Your Puppy
Keep vaccinations up to date—the first shots start at 6-8 weeks, with boosters until 16 weeks.
Avoid dog parks, pet stores, and public areas until your puppy is fully vaccinated.
Disinfect surfaces and wash hands after handling other dogs.
Parvo is preventable but deadly if ignored. Protect your puppy and enjoy a safe, healthy spring together! 🌷🐾
