Parvo Virus - New Puppy On Holidays At Dog Friendly Holiday Rental

[MyMolly]

Yes, Life must change when you take on a committment but think of all of the boarding kennels that would be out of business if... people took their committment to the extreeme?? And this means??

cotton wool anyone??

hmmmm, thanks Molly, very nice person indeed, I will take your advice and stock up on the cotton wool and any you can send my way will be appreciated. You go ahead and put yourself first every step of the way and I will continue to care for my animals and to advise other responsible people to do the same.

And while we have irresponsible people, because their circumstances changed! we will continue to have diseases.

It means this: that if everyone was too scared to go on holidays and take their pets/family members places because of the what ifs then people would be out of business......??

Like children for example, If I take my girls down to the shopping center I do so knowing that even though they are fully vacinated there is still a chance that whilst they are out some wally has taken thier chickenpox diseased child there also and they can still catch something. So am I going to keep them at home in a bubble just because they might get ill? No I'm not. I am going to do my part and keep thim up to date with their jib jabs and make sure I dont blindly talke them to places where I know they will be at high risk if they are not up to date with their immunisations......

I don't put myself first every step of the way.....infact the only think I HAVE done for myself in the last 15 years was buy Molly my beautiful boxer.

I really think you have missed what I was saying and meaning in my response because I agree with you to an extent but hey its awesome that you are so concerned and your one liners really have the crowd cheering.

Surely you mean if everyone was too scared to take their pets then the boarding kennels would be booming, not going out of business.

Like children for example, If I take my girls down to the shopping center I do so knowing that even though they are fully vacinated there is still a chance that whilst they are out some wally has taken thier chickenpox diseased child there also and they can still catch something.

Your kids are fully vaccinated you say, why would they catch something they are vaccinated for?

So am I going to keep them at home in a bubble just because they might get ill? No I'm not. I am going to do my part and keep thim up to date with their jib jabs and make sure I dont blindly talke them to places where I know they will be at high risk if they are not up to date with their immunisations......

Yes, and taken home at 6.5 weeks old, great breeder NOT! And I make no apologies for believing someone who doesn't follow the rules and regs and COE of the CC are not good breeders. Break one rule and who knows what others are broken.

I really think you have missed what I was saying and meaning in my response because I agree with you to an extent but hey its awesome that you are so concerned and your one liners really have the crowd cheering.

And you are hysterical by your standards aren't you, I don't understand your problem.

no I mean that no one would be going on holidays and as a result they would be home to look after thier pets......so boarding kennels would go out of business....

Like children for example, If I take my girls down to the shopping center I do so knowing that even though they are fully vacinated there is still a chance that whilst they are out some wally has taken thier chickenpox diseased child there also and they can still catch something.

There are many reported cases of parents paying for the chicken pox jab only to not have it work. Sure it was a mild case of what it could have been if they had not chosen to immunise but it was the disease none the less....I paid for my children to have it given to them and they have not had it but there is still a chance that even though I have done what I believe to be the best thing for them they still may get it. I am not going to prevent them from experiencing life because of the what ifs because the what ifs may not happen. But getting back to what this post is really about. This pup is not fully jabbed up so really taking it to a place where their could be Parvo Virus would not be a wise thing to do.

So am I going to keep them at home in a bubble just because they might get ill? No I'm not. I am going to do my part and keep thim up to date with their jib jabs and make sure I dont blindly talke them to places where I know they will be at high risk if they are not up to date with their immunisations......

If you are making reference to how and when we bought Molly home and want reasons as to why, ask me why and I will be more than willing to share. You don't know how it all came about but please ask before you cast judgement.

I really think you have missed what I was saying and meaning in my response because I agree with you to an extent but hey its awesome that you are so concerned and your one liners really have the crowd cheering.

I don't have a problem. So I don't know why you are being like this. You seem like quite a bitter person in this thread which is sad really because given your experience I would have thought you would have been very supportive. Anyway, I still don't think you have understood what I am saying..... Maybe others like to let me know if understand what I am meaning. Maybe I am not being to clear with my responses either that or you like to start a good discussion

MM, I saw your post as a little condescending to original poster.

You take your kids to the shops.. whats that got to do with it? Would you take them to a well known maleria-ridden country in the middle of summer without ensuring they were covered for this first? Chicken pox can only be contracted from immediate contact with the infected person.. surely you would know that parvo is a liiiiiittle different...

They were going to a cottage that is specifially for DOG OWNERS. Chances are, every time the cottage is booked out, there are going to be different dogs there. It would be naieve for anyone to assume that all dog owners vaccinate their dogs properly.. The OP obviously had warranted concerns to come on here and post.

Hi Kelpie_Pup ;)

The post where I used the shops as an example wasn't written to sound condescending. Sorry if it came across that way

I was going to use Day Care as my example but thought more people go to the shops and are not screened for immunisations and really it is a free for all.

I never implied that the OP shouldn't have concerns about their new pup and the booked lodgings.

I just don't think that people should worry all the time about the what ifs if they may never happen. I am not saying be a careless pet owner.....I am just saying lighten up. Don't talk about committments and imply bad pet ownership when the full story is not known. Things come up and plans can change.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the things and worries we go through when we add a new member to the family hey?
