Dog Park Safety Tips
Sponsored article by VCA Southwest Freeway Animal Hospital # 622
Heading to the dog park is a favorite time of day for many dogs – and with friends to play with, time to stretch their legs, explore and be active, it’ s no wonder dogs love it!
Dog parks have so much to offer to our canine companions: mental stimulations, exercise and social interaction, but there are lots of things to consider before strolling over and joining in on the fun. These tips can help keep your companion healthy and safe when hanging out with their friends.
• Always check with your veterinarian. Young puppies that aren’ t fully vaccinated are at risk for serious and potentially fatal infections. Until they’ ve had their full series of puppy vaccinations and time to develop their immune system following vaccination( typically 18-20 weeks of age), the dog park should be avoided.
• Keep your dog’ s vaccinations up-to-date, especially for diseases that are easily spread, such as canine upper respiratory disease, distemper, parvovirus and leptospirosis.
• Protect your dog by using flea, tick and intestinal parasite preventatives to stop“ hitchhikers” from latching on for a ride, since there’ s no way to know if the other dogs at the dog park are flea- or parasite-free.
• Always bring water to keep your dog hydrated during their play session!
• If you have a toy or small dog( under 25 pounds), find a dog park that only allows small dogs. Some large dogs don’ t get along with small dogs, and dog bite injuries from a large dog to a small dog are sometimes fatal.
