Vaccinate for Life!

.
Vaccinating your dog early in life helps prevent life-threatening diseases.

The disease: Canine parvovirus
The prevention: C3 vaccination

Canine parvovirus is a particularly lethal disease among puppies, causing gastrointestinal tract damage and dehydration, which often results in cardiac syndrome in very young puppies. It is spread by contact with an infected dog's faeces. Symptoms include lethargy; fever; severe, often bloody, diarrhoea; vomiting and loss of appetite. Death rate for puppies is greater than 80%.

The regular outbreak of Parvo in dog pounds is a serious cause of concern for the health and well-being of puppies, and for dogs with compromised immune systems. Containing Parvo is almost impossible, and exposing healthy dogs to such a disease often results in their deaths.

Vaccinating against PARVOVIRUS should be MANDATORY.

The disease: Canine distemper
The prevention: C3 vaccination

Canine distemper virus (CDV) is spread via aerosol droplets of infected bodily fluids, and also by faeces, urine and contaminated water.
Canine distemper virus infects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, kidney and urinary tract systems, as well as the central nervous system and optic nerves.
Secondary bacterial infections can lead to pneumonia, convulsions, blindness and death.
Impounded dogs are also at risk from this disease, as are other unvaccinated dogs.

Vaccinating against CANINE DISTEMPER VIRUS should be MANDATORY.

The disease: Canine hepatitis
The prevention: C3 vaccination

Infectious canine hepatitis is an acute viral liver infection spread by faeces, urine, blood, saliva, and nasal discharge of infected dogs.
Symptoms include fever, loss of appetite, depression, coughing, vomiting and jaundice. In severe cases, dogs may cough blood.
This disease can cause death. Surviving animals may suffer chronic corneal oedema and kidney lesions.

Vaccinating against CANINE HEPATITIS should be MANDATORY.

The disease: Parainfluenza
The prevention: C4 vaccination

Parainfluenza is the viral aspect of Canine Cough. Prevention is C4 vaccination. This disease can lead to pneumonia, so inoculation should be seriously considered.

Vaccinating against PARAINFLUENZA is highly recommended.

The disease: Bordatella bronchiseptica
The prevention: C5 vaccination

Also known as Kennel Cough or tracheobronchitis, Bordatella bronchiseptica is a highly contagious upper respiratory system illness, caused by viruses such as Canine distemper and the Parainfluenza virus, or the bacterial infection, Bordatella bronchiseptica.
Both the viral and bacterial illnesses are spread through the air by infected dogs sneezing and coughing, via contaminated surfaces, or through direct contact. They are highly contagious and can progress to pneumonia and death.
Symptoms include a harsh, dry, hacking cough; retching; sneezing; snorting or gagging due to irritation of the trachea. The bacterial aspect of the disease needs to be treated with antibiotics.
Boarding kennels, obedience schools etc. will not accept your dog unless it has been vaccinated against this disease.

Vaccinating against BORDATELLA BRONCHISEPTICA is highly recommended.
