I take losol wipes in with my to clean the table off that they put them on + when I get home it is straight to a bath!!! And I put my cloths in the wash as soon as I can. I learned to do this for as my cloths working at a hospital. It keep the kids for getting sick. I also got my vet to show me how to dock the puppies tail my self so I was not bring them in at a young age. That is when most gets sick. I hope this helps many of you. You just have to remember this lives in the ground and things they touch, so it can get on your dogs feet and then in your home. |
I do not agree with giving puppies shots at 6 weeks. The recommended age now is to wait until 8 weeks or older. Giving shots at 6 weeks leaves most of them unprotected and more likely to get parvo if exposed to it the following weeks.
