Can my vaccinated dog get parvo?

Question

I had 2 puppy's with the parvo virus. One however, did not make it. The other got over it and is making a good recovery. I was going to adopt another dog that's 1 year old, and has all parvo shots. I was wondering if there's a good chance that this dog could get it too? Iv been cleaning with bleach allot but I want to be safe then sorry. Thanks.

Answer 1

jut step in bleach when you come home from seeing other dogs.  he will be fine.

Answer 2

It depends on the dog and how long ago you had parvo.

If you had parvo within the last few weeks - I'd wait a month or two just to be sure.

If the dog was properly vaccinated as a puppy - at 6, 9, 12, and 15 weeks and then revaccinated at 1 year of age it will probably be just fine.  However, most dogs are not properly vaccinated like that.  If it has only had one or two DHLPP vaccines - I think I'd wait the few months.

Also, it depends on the breed of dog.  Pitbull and Rottweilers tend to have poor immune systems that are very susceptible to Parvo - even as adults.  Other mixed breed dogs and other breeds of dogs are much less likely to get the virus.

Best wishes!!
