− | It is important to practice good husbandry in areas where groups of dogs mix. Ideally all animals should be vaccinated, any infected animals should be isolated to minimise the spreas to unaffected animals and all fomites that have come into contact with an affected animal must be disinfected. Areas should be kept well ventilated and ideally low population densities. | + | It is important to practice good husbandry in areas where groups of dogs mix.
