There is a vaccine. It is two shots a month apart. I took my Pepper on Tuesday for the first shot. The vet says there is a big demand for the virus. His office only had enough for the appointments that day. I wasn't sure I wanted to get it as I really don't frequent dog parks, etc. But the vet said the bigger risk is at the groomer.

Saw this after I posted.
