What vaccinations are recommended for dogs after parvovirus exposure?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I purchased 3 Miniature BullTerriers for Poland to US California. They are all up to date on shots and 1 female 10 months old got parvovirus and dies in one day. I sprayed bleach through entire house. And am starting the parvovirus vacation over on my other dogs the are 8 months and 11 months. Do you recommend any other shots to add. Kennel cough? I have given them the first parvovirus shot 10/15/20. Do you think it's ok to parvovirus revaccination & is there any other shots you recommend?

I'm not sure if you are vaccinating your pups yourself or having the vet do it. If you are doing it yourself, have the vet do it please. Places that sell vaccines often store them improperly, rendering them ineffective. There have been so many dogs that have come down with parvo and distemper who were vaccinated at home by their owners with store bought vaccines. Your dogs should have a DHPPi combination vaccine. I do recommend kennel cough, and you will need to have rabies vaccines done as well because rabies is required by law. I hope this helps!
