    My puppy had parvo. How long before I can go around other animals?
    My puppy had parvo and miraculously made it through without a vet visit, I want to know if the virus can travel on me? Can I infect another animal by being around it?

    Parvo virus is very hardy and , yes, can be tranported around on shoes and clothing. Here is a very informative site about Parvo.

    May I ask, if you don't mind. If you didn't take your pup to the vet how are certain are you that it actually had parvo.

    Was your puppy outside ? Parvo virus may stay around for a long time in the yard . You should bleach the areas the pup was inside your house. Your clothing just needs to be washed . I'm pretty sure if you are taking your dog someplace else a week after recovery is OK. Beyond that I'll defer to the professionals here .

    Glad you got through it without a trip to the vet . Mine was hospitalized for a week .

    The vet I work for suggests to have the new dog complete the full serious of the parvo combo...

    I think you should just focus on purchasing an adult with a known vaccine history...
