We live near Cannock Chase in Staffs where there has been a recent outbreak and a dog died 😢.
We still go there but avoid muddy woods. We take a small garden pressure sprayer out with us if we go in the car and spray their legs and pads thoroughly after walking, as advised. I think you have to take the best precautions you can but also allow the dogs freedom to exercise, run around and be happy. If we listened to all the reports about stolen dogs, poison food lying around and other diseases we would never take them out! 🐾🐾🐾
