My puppy is 3 months old and had her second round of shots last weekend. Today we went to the park and she picked up a piece of poop. How worried should I be

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! In theory, she has not mount a response to her vaccines yet so she can still get infected with like parvovirus if those feces were infected with parvovirus. However, that is very unlikely so I would not worry about that too much as the chance of that is very small. Good luck and have a great day! She is likely going to be just fine.
