    Puppy died
    My new yorkie died from parvo. When is it safe to bring a new one home? Sick Puppy.

    Moved from Zoology to Dogs.

    I am not a dog expert, hopefully Lamban will pop in soon. However, I believe, and I may be wrong but one of my pups had parvo, that the time is about 6 months. Again, hopefully Labman or Rubypitbull will pop in soon.

    I remember reading parvo can live in the soil for up to a year. Check with your vet though!

    Opinions vary on the subject from between six months to one year. It probably depends upon how exposed the areas are to sunshine, rain, etc. I would err on the side of caution and wouldn't bring a new pup home for at least a year. If you have an older pup in mind that is fully vaccinated you should be okay after six months, but I say there are no real guarantees.

    Hope this helps.

    We had an extensive discussion of this starting last November, see
    https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/dogs/w...rvo-43195.html

    One of the points in that thread is getting an older dog. At 5 months you still have some of the puppy cuteness, but one of the parvo shots is more likely to have taken. Even if it still catches parvo, you have a lot more dog and reserves to fight the virus.
