Prevention - your best ally

We've already seen how most diseases generally affect puppies and un-vaccinated dogs or those who are weak or stressed out, and we have also seen that many of these diseases can be transmitted for a long time by animals who, after having had the disease, become anonymous bearers, transmitting the virus and bacteria In the urine and feces.

So, the first thing you must bear in mind is that during the time you are raising a litter -- and even before -- you must take extreme precautions. Avoid any strange visitors to your house and/or any contact with suspicious dogs. Also, try not to take your dogs to canine expositions or two places where there is a concentration of dogs that you do not know.All this seems exaggerated, but it's the only way you can avoid problems. As the old saying goes, "better safe than sorry". It's the same case for your puppies: be cautious!
