Being ready for anything
Our adorable pets always kept us alert. We knew they needed exercise and to be around others like them, but there was a respiratory disease that caused many concerns. It wasn’t easy being a pet parent, but we did our best with what we knew. I recall when this disease spread through the US, and it was a scary time for dog owners. They experienced symptoms like fever, lethargy, and odd discharges, and some lost their appetites and got dehydrated. We tried typical antibiotics, but they didn’t always help.
The University of New Hampshire worked tirelessly to discover the illness’s cause, whether it was a virus or bacteria. We did everything we could to keep our pets safe, from keeping them away from other dogs to ensuring their vaccinations were up-to-date. Those were simpler days.
Avoiding areas of potential danger for your dog
To keep your precious pup safe and healthy, it is crucial to minimize their interactions with unfamiliar dogs in places such as daycare, boarding facilities, and dog parks. Instead, consider organizing playdates with other fully vaccinated dogs or keeping your dog on a leash or in a separate designated area. Ensuring your furry friend receives regular veterinary check-ups and vaccinations is equally vital to maintain their overall wellbeing.
Believing in the famous saying, ‘prevention is better than cure,’ it is wise to follow these guidelines to provide a secure and happy environment for your furry friend. Simple yet significant measures can go a long way in safeguarding your dog’s health and happiness. So take that extra step to protect your furry friend and cherish your unforgettable moments together!

Wear the Mask, Both You and Your Dog
Protecting your dog from respiratory issues caused by unvaccinated dogs is more important than ever. Make sure your dog is well-protected by wearing a mask, especially when you’re taking them out to places like the dog park or the vet’s office. But don’t stop there – remember to wear your own mask too! This will not only protect you and your dog from diseases but also set an example for your fellow pet parents.
Keep Hand Sanitizer Handy
Keep your furry friend and others safe by using hand sanitizer when out together. It's important to keep your hands germ-free when you're out and about with your dog. Make sure to regularly sanitize your hands before and after petting your dog, especially if other people have also been petting them. Encourage others to do the same by setting a good example and sharing the importance of hand hygiene. Remember, a little hand sanitizer can go a long way in keeping both you and your furry friend healthy and happy!
Avoid Hotspots Where Unvaccinated Dogs Congregate
Certain places like dog parks, doggie daycare, and grooming salons are more likely to have unvaccinated dogs. Try to avoid such hotspots or go there during off-hours, when there are fewer dogs. If you’re unable to avoid such areas, make sure your dog is up-to-date with its vaccinations and avoid contact with unfamiliar dogs as much as possible.
