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.
