Distemper Outbreak in Memphis

We often talk about vaccines with owners that don't want to give " too many shots". That is our position as well. However with all the animals being transported around the country for sale or rescue the dangers of Parvo Virus or Distemper are very real. A recent outbreak of dogs in Memphis Tennessee led to many dogs being euthanized. These animals were overwhelmed with a disease that is easily prevented with routine vaccination. Parvo cases from the southwest come to New England all the time. Please be aware, ask questions and stay up to date on our recommended vaccinations.
