Innoculations should protect your dogs. Keeping un-innoculated puppies away from other dogs, and where they run/defecate would be all the precaution you should have to take. That and keeping your kennel floors clean.

vaccinations do not protect pups....pups up to 12 mts imune system cannot take the virus and many will still catch parvo...black and tan dogs and dogs with pitbull in them will also be more susceptible...what the jabs will do is increase the dogs chances of survival...but not make it imune...skycat will most probably give you more info but beleive me on this one, been there done that , not a nice place to be...

Am from Doncaster All my dogs are inoculated but so was the dogs from the shoot and they still court it can they catch it from running on the same ground as a infected dog am possibly thinking of not taking the dogs on that shoot if they can at the moment from what's been said Sunday 3 different people have lost there dog and one was a bitch with 3 pups and they all died

Canine Parvo is passed on when dogs come into direct contact with each other via feces.This can quite simply happen by a dog that has stepped or even yourself in an affected dogs feces.It is simply transmitted back into your kennel,"and we all know how dogs like to lick".hence injested..Foxes are susceptible too.

Dogs usually build up enough antibodies by the age of 5 to not warrant annual boosters,but that's up to the individual.

It's times like these that everybody should be mindful of their own kennel Bio security.The "good old bleach" and jeye's fluid does absolutely diddly squirt..against Parvo-kennel cough - ringworm etc.

I mop my kennels at least once a day "and that's a clean kennel",with an in- expensive purpose kennel disinfectant which will reduce the infection chances..

Stick in...

Definitely parvo? Just that seasonal canine disorder is knocking about.
