How do puppies get parvo?

Puppies get parvo by coming into contact with the virus, which can be found in feces and other contaminated areas. The virus can also live on surfaces for long periods of time, so it’s important to clean any areas a puppy may have come into contact with if you think he may have been exposed to parvo. You can also help prevent your puppy from getting parvo by vaccinating him against it and keeping him away from other sick dogs.

Be aware that parvo can be highly contagious, so it’s important to keep your puppy away from any other dogs or cats who may be carriers of the virus. If you think your puppy has been exposed to parvo, take him to the vet right away—early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent serious illness and even death. Parvo is a serious virus, but with proper care and prevention it can be stopped in its tracks. Take steps to protect your pup and make sure he stays healthy for years to come.
