Can my puppy get parvo from dirt before full vaccinations?

Question

Do I need to keep my puppy off of dirt before his last parvo vaccine? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered

Kevin Sanada, DVM · Accepted Answer

Dirt is not necessarily a problem unless it was potentially contaminated by a dog with Parvo. The best thing to do is avoid taking Jimmy to areas like dog parks, or kennels, or other areas where many dogs have been before. If the dirt is just in your yard, or other area that is not frequented by dogs, or known to have a parvo positive dog on the property, then the chances of Jimmy contracting Parvo are slim. I hope that helps and all is well with Jimmy.
