Yes, but if you have an unvaccinated young puppy, you will risk having it die of parvo too.

Parvo - short for parvovirus - is a nasty viral infection of the gastrointestinal tract. In young puppies, it can cause death within a few days from dehydration and toxic shock. The vaccine against it is very effective and is recommended for all dogs, with a three-shot inital series and a yearly booster thereafter. A puppy is not considered completely vaccinated until two weeks after the third shot in the original series.

The virus itself is very hardy and can survive in a kennel or house for years. Cleaning with bleach water (then rinse thoroughly) then with soap and water (then rinse thoroughly) then with an all-purpose sanitizer like Lysol or Pine-Sol (then rinse thoroughly) will get the virus load down, but probably not kill all of it.

Can cats get parvo from other cats?

They can get a form of feline Parvo called Panleukopenia Virus. It's alot like the dog's parvo virus but only cats can get it. we had an out break of it when we rescued a new litter of kittens, all of the kittens died because they were unvaccinated, we have 4 older cats who were vaccinated & they are just fine it didnt effect them. Its spread through sharing living area's & eating out of the same bowl, as well as drinking out of the same water dish as an infected cat. Areas infected with feline panleukopenia need to be disinfected with a bleach solution. There is also treatment available. Prevention through routine vaccination is extremely effective.


How long before i can get another dog when i had a dog that died of parvo This was a horriable my first dog dies from parvo and i was just horrified i cried for 3 days- i no your thinking wow?

That should always be your main priority! vaccination for your dog, the parvo virus vaccination, its quite easy for a dog to get the virus as it is caused by cat urine and we all know how many cats are around. If I were you I would get another as soon as you like, but get the vaccination before you even take the dog home or ask the owner of the dog has it had the vaccination as most sellers get this done themselves before selling the pups on.

How do you get the parvo virus out of your carpet?

Ask your vet!! They don't recommend any dogs in that area for atleast one year. THose of you that can't do that, here is something that worked. My puppy Ginger Lynn's sister died from the tragic disease Parvo! Her owner had to prevent a any other puppy from getting it, she mixed 2 cups of bleach per gallon of water. Then put it in a spray bottle and sprayed everything in her house: carpet, tile, couches, wood furniture, grass in backyard, rocks outside, everything......Well, no other dog in the house got it thankfully!! I think it lightened her carpet though, small price to pay to save your dogs from getting sick.
