How to Disinfect Your Home and Yard
Parvo is very strong and stays in its environment for months. Bleach can completely kill parvo, but because the virus spreads everywhere it is virtually impossible to completely rid an environment of parvo. The goal of disinfecting your home is not to completely rid it of parvo but to keep the strength of [...]
How did my puppy GET parvo??

Parvo is EVERYWHERE…adult dogs can carry it and release it through their stool (they just won’t have symptoms), birds can carry it, cats can carry [...]

Your puppy is very young (the older the dog, the stronger its body is; however, I’ve heard of dogs as old as 2 years getting parvo)
Your puppy was weaned when it was younger [...]
Parvo Symptoms
Canine parvovirus is the most dangerous virus your dog can get. It will either kill your dog or cost you lots of money and time to heal it – UNLESS you catch it right away and start treatment.
If you see most of these symptoms in your dog, it is not overreacting to assume your [...]
