Distemper in dogs
4 min read
Distemper in dogs is caused by a virus. It’s a very contagious and serious disease that often results in life-long problems or death. There is no cure for distemper in dogs but luckily there’s a vaccine available that gives excellent protection.
Distemper can affect dogs of any age but puppies and unvaccinated dogs are most at risk. Dogs most often catch the virus from an infected animal through sneezing, coughing or barking. It can cause a variety of symptoms affecting different areas of the body. Thanks to the vaccination, distemper is now rare in the UK but there have been some sporadic cases in the past few years.
