Mange and Parvovirus Treatment and Prevention Day | West Kempsey

Friends of Kempsey Pound is dedicated to improving the life of all four-legged friends and are holding another parvovirus and mange prevention day in West Kempsey.

Bring your dog along to Steele Park between 9am and 3pm on Saturday 14 January for a free parvovirus vaccination and flea, tick and mange protection.

For unvaccinated dogs, there will be parvac available that can prevent infection of the deadly parvovirus, though it will not protect your dog from the full range of diseases that C3 or C5 will. These vaccinations are available by booking into a local vets.

Friends of Kempsey Pound has seen several cases of animals with mange coming into their care. Prevention is quite simple with the correct flea, tick and mite treatment.

Parvovirus has also appeared in areas of Kempsey.

Friends of Kempsey Pound and its giving volunteers have fundraised to gather mange treatment and parvovirus vaccines for Kempsey animals, with help from the Port Macquarie Branch of RSPCA, DM Rescue - Coffs Harbour, Sydney Second Chance Animal Rescue, Animal Rescue Collective, Friends of Kempsey Pound supporters who donated to the recent Facebook fundraiser, Rural Pound Aid, Kempsey Shire Council and the Kempsey Rangers.
