Parvo exposure: Is my vaccinated dog safe after cleaning?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 4 years and 2 months old | 16 lbs

My puppy has parvo but my puppy sleeps in our extra house I have a indoor dog who has all her shots up to date she’s an adult but I had my puppy in my room (before I knew it was parvo) while I was caring for him. I’ve bleached my floor and washed my bedsheets. Will my dog get sick too? She’s normal and healthy still not sick or showing signs. I just want to know if their is a chance she could get sick or is she safe to be in my room again

Luckily since Princess is an adult dog and has been vaccinated it's unlikely she would get sick. You've done a good job with cleaning also so it is safe for her to go into your room again. I hope the puppy is improving and please keep up with Princess's vaccinations when due. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Princess.

    Unfortunately your older dog does run a risk of getting parvo since she was not previously vaccinated, but it is not guaranteed. You are doing the right thing by starting with environmental clean up and getting her vaccinated now. If it is possible, try to limit her access to areas that your puppy frequented to decrease the risk of transmission. Remember that parvo is spread through the feces. If you notice her acting abnormal at all, even if she skips one meal, I would recommend taking her in and having her tested so treatment can begin right away. I am sorry you are having to go through this. I hope Ielia will be ok!
