Caravan Club warns of dog virus at site

Owners have been warned not to take their dogs to certain sites

The Caravan Club has warned its members to be wary of taking their dogs to two of its sites in England.

The association noted that there have been reports of pooches falling ill with a sickness thought to be similar to enteritis after visiting the Sandringham Estate and Sherwood Forest.

Although not exclusive to guests at the Sandringham Estate Caravan Club Site and Clumber Park Caravan Club Site, campers have been urged to take any necessary precautions while the cause of the outbreak is investigated.

A similar incident is thought to have taken place in 2009 at the same locations, and the Animal Health Trust has been called in to attempt to identify the cause.

It is thought that the sickness may be the result of some form of parvo virus infection in the surrounding areas, but caravanners have been warned to keep an eye on their dogs’ health during and after their stay.

In other news, the Club recently announced that it was saying goodbye to a member site that has been part of its network since 1969.
