I used to do alot of rescue work with dogs and foster them here at my home. I had a mixed breed puppy that had parvo and let me tell you, its horrible to watch them go through it. I had a mobile vet at the time that used to come right to my house and I got to the point where it was breaking my heart to watch that poor puppy go though that. I took her to a vets office so i didn't have to watch it.

Great info. Thanks for sharing.

I have seen parvo first hand and it was a very scary thing to witness. Luckily all of our pups survived it.

great info

very useful to know as it explains why a lot of breeders dont let people to view the puppies before they are vaccinated! thank for the info.

Yes its a nasty one -when it first hit the scene here many breeders suffered horrible losses- most distressing -until it was diagnosed .thank goodness we dont hear much of it here now- but we still need to be vigilant.
with prevention methods i.e vaccs etc -I myself do not let anyone near my pups before they are fully covered, and I shower and change in a different area when I come home from shows or visiting other dog attended functions or other kennels .--very good article thank you.--

Thank you so much for the info. My neighbors got a new puppy shortly after I did. I won't let the puppy into my yard and my puppy into their yard. I know it sounds paranoid but after your article I feel justified. Thanks again. Ginger and Duke

i don't really understand how people's dogs can get parvo in this day and age
