Dog park possibly made my dog sick. I recently started taking my very energetic dog to the dog park. It’s one you have to pay for a tag to go to the park and in order to get the tag, you have to provide proof of vaccinations for your dog. This doesn’t seem to be enforced and the sign stating a tag is required is so small. After taking her there 3-4 times, I noticed she’s seemed not quite herself and she doesn’t seem to feel well. I take her own water bowl and try and prevent her from sharing from the communal water, but she has still drank from those bowls. I’m scared she contracted something from the park.
