The most important thing you can do to keep your dogs safe from parvovirus is to keep them up to date on the parvovirus vaccine. I would call your vet immediately and inquire about vaccinating the puppy, and watch for any signs of diarrhea. If your dogs are up to date on their vaccines, then their risk is very, very low. Again, watch for any signs of diarrhea or GI upset but I wouldn't worry too much about your dogs if they've been well vaccinated!
