SPCA asking dog owners to vaccinate their pups
Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.
SPCA New Zealand say:
We’re seeing more and more cases of the highly contagious and potentially fatal canine parvovirus (parvo) around the country as we face a third outbreak in as many years. Parvo can remain on surfaces for up to a year, so dogs are at constant risk if they’re unvaccinated, or if their vaccinations lapse. Please ensure your dogs are protected against this heartbreaking illness, and book your vaccines and boosters as soon as possible. It could be the difference between life and death.

Locals say cyanobacterial algal blooms in the river’s hydro lakes have become more frequent over the past five years, and when they arrive no-one can swim or fish in them.
Is there an algae issue where you are? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
