Central Coast “Parvo Outbreak” Isn’t Because People Are Poor

If you live on the Central Coast of CA and pay attention to the local news, apparently there is a “parvo outbreak.” The news is blaming the outbreak on low income families who can’t afford vaccines. But lets be truthful about WHO to blame. The real people to blame are the lazy and ignorant dog owners - BAD dog owners. There are HUNDREDS of low cost vaccine clinics held EVERY weekend at local feed stores and at a lot of local vets. Farm Supply and Lemos have vaccine clinics almost every weekend. And the clinic I work for does a monthly 1/2 off vaccine clinic - we even do 1/2 off fecal and heartworm testing! And various other veterinary clinics also do these low cost clinics. Animal shelters also offer low cost vaccines. These days there is NO EXCUSE not to have your dog vaccinated. So dear media, don’t say people can’t afford the vaccines, tell the truth! The people who don’t vaccine are just plain stupid and putting their dogs, and all other dogs, at risk.
