The Joe Station Bark Park has been advised that Giardia, an intestinal parasite that is found in nature and transmitted by contact with the feces of a wild or domestic animal is a concern.

This disease can be transmitted to you or your pet through water, puddles or streams they have been contaminated. If left untreated, severe health problems can arise. These diseases are zoonotic meaning that they can infect humans as well as animals. Concerns regarding these diseases should be discussed with your own Doctors and Veterinarians.

To minimize the risks of exposure:

• WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN.

• DO NOT ALLOW YOUR PET TO DRINK FROM SHARED POOLS.

• TALK WITH YOUR VETERINARIAN ABOUT THIS, AND OTHER OUTDOOR HEALTH RISKS AND FOLLOW THEIR ADVICE.

• TALK WITH YOUR VETERINARIAN IF YOUR PET IS LETHARGIC, NOT EATING, OR HAS DIARRHEA.

• PLEASE, ALWAYS PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG AND REMIND OTHERS TO DO THE SAME.

• DO NOT BRING DISEASED DOGS TO THE BARK PARK.

The greatest risk to your pets is drinking from pools or bowls where other pets have deposited soil, grass, or other potentially contaminated sediments. Therefore we have removed the plastic pools and bowls. Park users are encouraged to bring personal bowls and not share drinking bowls with others. If you need to hydrate your pet, please try to have it drink from a hose. If that does not work, you may rinse one of our bowls, use it, and rinse again.
