Hello I have a question my dog was given to me by my aunt. She is now 10 months old all updated on her shots I've had her since she was about two and a half months. One of my aunts puppies had parvo months ago and got treated cleaned everything well long story short I'm visiting my aunt in about 2 weeks and I wanted to know if there's anything I need to be cautious about when I take my puppy over?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You should be fine if Zoei is fully vaccinated and you aunt cleaned well after her puppy had Parvo. It is best to use bleach to clean after a dog with parvovirus. If that was done you have very little to worry about. Have a good night!
