It is a fast acting, ruthless virus that can kill a puppy quickly if left untreated.
Dogs usually become infected with Parvo when they come into contact with contaminated faeces.
Parvo deposited from these faeces can survive in the environment for over a year even in freezing temperatures. Vaccination against Parvo is most important in the early stages of a dog s life. Parvo is not transmitted from dogs to humans. Dogs with Parvo show signs at about 4 days after infection. Parvo may be treated by your veterinarian.
