How to prevent bringing parvo home to my vaccinated dog from the vet?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

I was trying to find some information online and clicked here. I work in a Veterinary hospital and today I dealt with a dog who had parvo. He got to go home today. But I had to clean up his kennel after he left. And disifect our room we call 'ISO'. My clinic uses parvoclear and kennelsol to clean. I got told to spray my scrubs with parvoclear. I'm just worried about potentially passing along the virus to my dog (she is vaccinated) but I'd hate to pass it to her.

It would be preferable not to leave the clinic in scrubs (not just parvo but it is possible to carry many diseases and parasites on clothing). Spraying scrubs would be effective as long as they were wet through, I would generally soak clothing if it was visibly soiled (aprons, shoe covers and disposable gloves should be used as a precaution to limit spreading infections outside of an isolation area)
