Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Great question! You have already done all you can. The parvo vaccine, when given at appropriate intervals is EXTREMELY effective. She has been properly vaccinated so I honestly would not worry about her catching parvo. Parvo is unfortunately a very hearty virus and can live in the environment for quite a long time. So, there is not much you can do to keep her from being exposed. The only thing I can really recommend is that you use some baby wipes to wipe her feet and her mouth after you come back in from being outside. Don't worry. She will be fine! Hope this helps. Best wishes.
