help. Turkey tail mushrooms, vitamin
C, colostrum, probiotics,
blueberries, steamed broccoli, red
bell pepper and freshly grated ginger
root all support the immune
system. These can be added to
the diet in small amounts or fed
as treats. For dogs that become
ill, cordyceps mushrooms increase
oxygen uptake and Manuka honey
can help relieve cough. N-acetyl
cysteine helps break up mucous
and congestion.
The best way to make sure dogs
can still come to the park and have
a safe experience is to provide
drinking water that is not shared
by all the dogs. Having water fountains
where the water drains immediately
is important so dogs are not
sharing the same water. People also
can bring their own water bowls
and water from home.
Make sure the park is groomed
properly, with grass being kept cut
to a proper level, the fence line kept
low and equipment cleaned regularly.
During reports of illnesses,
toys may need to be put away so
dogs are not sharing toys that could
possibly transmit diseases from saliva.
Proper signage should be posted,
warning owners with dogs that
may be contagious to avoid using
the park until they recover.
Dog parks are a lot like restaurants,
in that a good, clean dog
park is the start to everything staying
healthy. When the dog park
owners and the park community
share a high level of pride in keeping
the park clean, time spent at
the park will be safer and more
enjoyable for all. The health of the
dog park is going to be dependent
on each dog being healthy and the
park being kept clean and wellmaintained.
The
best way to make sure dogs can
still come to a dog park and have a safe
experience is to provide drinking water
that is not shared by all the dogs.
