The differences between them are the addition of Corona virus vaccines (6 in 1) and Leptospirosis vaccines (7 in 1). You can use any of them. Be sure he gets two separated by 3 weeks. Ideally, he should be examined by a veterinarian to confirm good health since a sick dog should never be vaccinated.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Most 5 in 1 vaccines include Parvovirus. You will need to look at the type you gave. If the vaccines were given by a Vet then they contained a vaccine for parvo. If the vaccine you gave your dog did not contain parvo virus then you will have to give Lala 2 parvo vaccines 3 weeks apart for her to be protected. I do believe they make just a parvo vaccine I hope this helps.
