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.

as long as a dog is alive it can get Parvo. Get its shots including parvo to keep it from possibly getting it. I have had a few dogs we were caring for (that had been strays) die of it.

Can animals and small rodents get parvo?
The above answer is totally incorrect-It is IMPOSSIBLE to catch parvo from another species! Cats cannot get parvo. They can catch what is called Feline Distemper which is like parvo, but it only happens in cats, they cannot catch it from anything else besides cats, and it is not actually parvo. Same thing with Rodents- rodents can catch something that is "like" parvo but it is not the actual parvo virus.To sum this up only canines can get parvo.

Can dogs get parvo from cats?
No. Parvo is a disease ONLY in dogs that attacks the cells in the GI tract. This disease is not zoonotic (humans cannot catch it) and neither can felines. Felines can get another form of parvo called panleukopenia unrelated to Parvo with similar symptoms. But dogs can't catch it from cats and vice versa.Source: Veterinary Technician at an emergency and specialty hospital.

Can dogs catch feline parvo?
A cat is not susceptible to Parvo, although it is believed to be related to a Feline Distemper virus. With that said, a cat can become exposed to Parvo via feces, etcetera, and carry the virus back on their paws or fur or in some similar way and infect dogs by being the transmitting agent. Rodents and the like can also carry the virus about in this fashion. The virus is very hardy and can last nine months off host on floors or the like. Proper vaccinination is the only way to be sure your dog is safe.
