Parvo virus is not infectious to humans. However, it can be a life threatening disease in unvaccinated puppies. You should late your puppy to a veterinarian immediately if you suspect that he might have Parvo.

Parvo is not infectious to humans, so you don't need to worry about that. Your puppy's situation is critical if he does have parvo, and it's the virus itself that is making your puppy vomit so much. He needs veterinary attention now, please bring him into a vet right away.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! A dog can continue to shed virus and affect other dogs for 3-6 weeks after being successfully treated for parvovirus. For that reason, Flynn should stay away from other dogs for that time period to avoid infecting other dogs. Good luck and have a great day!

Possible, yes; probable no. I would be more worried about her being sick than you catching something from her. She could be breaking with parvo virus and that is not contagious to humans. I suggest that if her symptoms continue (vomiting and not eating) you get her to a vet for an exam as soon as you can.
