Macon Dog Park

For this lab we were supposed to go visit the dog park in Macon and take examples of the creek water to examine the bacteria content. Unfortunately, when we got halfway to the dog park it started raining so we turned around. We were told to discuss the dangers of bringing a young dog, or an unvaccinated dog to the park because of the ease of spread of disease. This holds true, unlike humans, who are in contact with multiple humans on a regular basis. 


Dogs are not brought together often, with the exception of a dog park. this means that many new diseases, or fleas, are introduced to your dog every time you bring man's best friend to the park. Your dog (especially the youngest) doesn't have the immunity for all of the new diseases it is introduced to. Causing a health hazard for your dog.
