If your dog has been diagnosed with parvo, it's important to take steps to disinfect your yard. This will help prevent the spread of the virus and protect other dogs in your neighborhood. Here are some tips for disinfecting your yard after parvo:
1. Remove all feces from your yard. This includes picking up any loose feces as well as scooping out any that is in dog pens or kennels. Be sure to double bag all feces before disposing in a trash can.
2. Thoroughly clean all areas where your dog has been, including patios, decks, and porches. Use a strong cleaner such as bleach diluted with water (1 part bleach to 30 parts water). Allow the solution to sit on the surface for at least 10 minutes before rinsing off with clean water.
3. Wash all of your dog's bedding, toys, and bowls in hot water (at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit). You may also want to wash clothing and shoes that you have worn while handling your sick dog.
4. Rinse off any outdoor play equipment such as slides or swing sets that your dog may have come into contact with.
5. If possible, mow your lawn so that any contaminated grass clippings can be disposed of properly
