ATTENTION - Please Observe Our PARVO Virus Protocol
Parvo Virus & Kennel Cough Are In Mesa County, What You Need To Know
Mesa County has seen a drastic spike in the number of dogs appearing with PARVO virus a highly contagious and often times fatal viral infection in dogs. The best prevention is to vaccinate your animal. We have some information you can download on Parvo Virus Treatment & Control
If You Come To The Resource Center LEAVE YOUR ANIMAL IN THE CAR
Just come in and fill out the paperwork and we will go out with you to the car and vaccinate your animal. If you don't have a car try to keep your animal away from the other animals while at the Resource Center as much as possible to reduce the risk of infection. Keep animals away from areas where other animals have pooped or peed. DO NOT share water bowls and food bowls. Keep the animal in a clean kennel, Homeward Bound staff can assist you if you need help with your animal.
If Your Animal is already sick DO NOT COME ON PROPERTY
By bringing a sick animal onto the Resource Center property you are exposing other animals to disease so please do not bring sick animals to the Resource Center we are simply not equipped to handle sick animals during clinic. Parvo can also stay active in the environment for months including clothing, bedding and anyplace a sick animal has been can remain contagious.
What Vaccinations Are Given & When Your Animals Need Them
Distemper & Parvo prevention for puppies & kittens, cats and dogs
Puppies Parvo, or canine parvovirus, is a highly contagious viral disease that can affect puppies and other canids. It attacks the gastrointestinal tract and white blood cells. Puppies between six and 20 weeks old are most likely to get parvo, but older dogs can also be affected. Dogs should get DHPP vaccinations at 8, 12 (& 16 weeks if possible), in a series of at least 2 injections. Dogs over 6 months a series of 2 to get them started then once a year thereafter. Merck/Nobivac, the manufacturer states "Two doses are required for primary immunization." So we try to adhere to that protocol.
Kittens The feline parvovirus, more commonly known as Panleukopenia or Feline Distemper, is a virus that causes diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. Cats need a FVRCP vaccination at 8 & 12weeks in a series of 2 injections up to 5 months old, Over 6 months, 1 injection to get them started then once a year thereafter. Merck/Nobivac, the manufacturer states "Two doses are required for primary immunization." So we try to adhere to that protocol.
A rabies vaccination for either a cat or a dog needs to be done by a licensed veterinarian due to state requirements. Barkley's Hope provides a voucher for you to obtain one from one of our veterinarians at a reduced cost.
Adult Dogs & Cats over 7 months are treated as needing a booster only unless otherwise stated. This is our protocol and we have adapted it from the manufacture recommendations for the safe use of these products with the intention to not over vaccinate an animal.
$10 Bordetella Vaccinations Available For A Limited Time
Barkley's Hope has a limited supply of Kennel Cough (aka) Bordetella Vaccinations Available
DOGS ONLY - The nasal spray can be given to dogs as young as 6 weeks old, but the injection is not suitable for dogs under 8 weeks old, so all of ours go up the dogs nose. Puppies receive their first dose between 6 and 8 weeks old, and then booster shots are given every 6 to 12 months. The frequency of booster shots depends on the dog's risk of exposure to Bordetella. For example, dogs that spend time in group settings may need booster shots every 6 months.
It's the same price you would pay over the counter at any feed and supply store but we will administer it for you and provide proof of vaccinations and all proceeds go back into vaccinating more dogs. Book your appointment today!!
