Prevention of Lyme Disease:

The best way to prevent canine distemper is to have your dog vaccinated. Puppies should receive their first vaccine at 6-8 weeks of age, followed by booster shots every 2-4 weeks until they are 16-20 weeks old. Adult dogs should receive a booster shot every 1-3 years, depending on their age and health status.

It is also important to keep your dog away from infected animals, as the virus can spread through contact with bodily fluids or contaminated objects.

P&F Tips:

• Keep your dog’s vaccinations up-to-date, and be sure to schedule regular check-ups with your veterinarian to monitor your dog’s health.

• Keep your dog away from infected animals, and avoid dog parks or other areas where dogs congregate if there has been an outbreak of distemper in your area.

• Clean and disinfect your dog’s bowls, toys, and bedding regularly to prevent the spread of infection.

• If you have more than one dog, isolate any infected dogs to prevent the disease from spreading to healthy dogs.

• Consider using a high-quality dog food that contains immune-boosting ingredients such as omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants to help support your dog’s overall health and immunity.
