Paws Up! A Spooky Parvovirus Alert at Magnuson Park

Seattle dog owners, beware! A warning has been issued about parvovirus exposure at Magnuson Park, one of the city’s most beloved off-leash dog areas. Veterinarian Liz Spencer put up signs after one of her patients tested positive for this highly contagious virus. It’s a serious issue, but don’t worry—there’s no need to panic if you’re being proactive about your pup’s health.

Parvovirus can be contracted through direct contact with an infected dog or via their feces, and it can survive in the environment for quite a while. If your dog’s been a little sluggish lately, don’t miss the opportunity to check that vaccination status! Even vaccinated dogs can be vulnerable, especially if their last shots were years ago. So, make sure they’re up to date—because honestly, who wants to deal with an ill pooch?

Imagine your cuddly canine friend suddenly drooping like a sad umbrella—no thanks! It’s a reminder for all pet parents to stay on top of vaccinations, making vet visits a top priority. So swing by that animal hospital and pamper your pup, because they deserve the best! What’s the craziest thing you’ve done to keep your dog healthy?
