PARVO OUTBREAK IN VENTURA COUNTY
By David Gersh
Parvo is a contagious virus mainly affecting dogs, and of course puppies are the most susceptible to the disease. Please take extra precaution if you have recently acquired a young dog. Please keep unvaccinated dogs out of public places until they have received all of their shots, spaces such as parks and sidewalks can be heavily contaminated. Parvo is a very resilient virus and can survive months if not years in the soil and even cement.
