46. PET SHOP OPERATORS. Parvovirus kills puppies
SURVIVAL SECRETS FOR PET SHOP OPERATORS
There seems to be no way of eliminating the parvovirus. The more successful the pet shop operator is, the more puppies he or she stocks. The introduction of new puppies without quarantine (not a practical idea) leads to the accumulation of parvoviruses and kennel cough infections.
The impractical suggestion is to take in puppies which have at least 2 vaccinations and wait 2 weeks after the 2nd vaccination before taking them. By then, competitors would have had made the money as Singaporeans love young puppies. The younger the better.
The successful pet shop operator loses out to the competition and becomes unsuccessful! Home breeders and other breeders would not supply him the puppies as they have others who want them.
So, as a veterinarian, I do not offer such "silly" advices. It just does not work in the real world.
