My puppy sniffed poop. Should I worry about parvo? When to see vet?

Question

i have a 13 week old beagle puppy, he haad his 2nd immunisation on 17 June but we thought we were ok to take him outside. This was on 3rd July. He isn't showing any symptoms at this time, but i am concerned he may have been exposed to parvovirus as he did make contact (sniffed) some faeces on the sidewalk. Should i take him to the Vet asap for checkup or wait and see for symptoms? cost is not an issue. Pet's info: Dog | Beagle | Male | unneutered | 3 months old | 8 lbs

Luckily the parvoviris part of the vaccinations works well from the first dose. I know you are really worried but I think little Charlie will be absoloutely fine. Keep a close eye on him and if you notice any loose faeces go to the vet at this point. Parvo thankfully is quite rare nowadays because so many pets are vaccinated.
