If your dog is fully vaccinated for parvo and the puppy is healthy with no abnormal signs then parvo should not be a issue. I am also assuming that your puppy has started his vaccinations, as well. If the puppy has a history of having parvo or has been exposed to parvo then you may want to delay the introduction, especially if your dog is not up to date on vaccines.
