National pet charity Paws for A Purpose has developed an innovative online alerting system to help eliminate the deadly Parvovirus and protect over 20,000 puppies and kittens that are infected every year.
Co-founder of Paws for A Purpose, Dr Mark Kelman says that with half of all Parvovirus cases ending in fatality, the first step to stopping Parvo is reporting of cases.
“This rapid tracking of outbreaks means we can quickly advise communities and move to raise vaccination levels where the disease is spreading.”
“Best of all, the website is completely free for vets to use and for the community to be informed about outbreaks as they occur.”
“With the help of vets around the country, we believe we can eliminate Parvo, one pet at a time,” said Dr Kelman.
Dr Kelman said that during a Parvo outbreak, seeing puppies dying from a preventable virus is heartbreaking, making Parvo ALERT all the more important.
“It’s exciting that vet clinics across Australia can work together through Parvo ALERT to help eliminate this terrible disease from our communities,” said Dr Kelman.
“We’re encouraging vet clinics to diligently record cases, playing their role in this nationwide fight against Parvo.”
