Maine sees rising parvovirus cases; experts urge pet vaccinations to prevent disease spread.
Maine is seeing a rise in parvovirus cases, prompting experts to urge pet owners to vaccinate dogs and cats against deadly diseases.
Rabies vaccination is required for pets over 3 months old and strongly recommended for others, with core vaccines for dogs including protection against distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, parainfluenza, and leptospirosis.
Cats need core vaccines for rabies, feline leukemia, panleukopenia, herpesvirus, and calicivirus.
Due to high tick populations, tick-borne disease prevention is also emphasized.
Vaccines are safe, effective, and available at low-cost clinics through shelters, Petco, and Tractor Supply Co., often with fees as low as $10.
Some diseases, like rabies and leptospirosis, can spread to humans.
Experts stress vaccination is the most cost-effective way to prevent expensive treatments and ensure pet and public health.
