My dog was died from parvo, but I had been giving treatments from the first day, but next it died. How many days after do I need to wait before buying a new dog?

Parvo can last in your home 6 months and up to a year in your backyard. If you are willing not to take the dog outside, you can sanitize all surfaces in your home with a bleach solution.
You can ask your vet their recommendation and tips on how to get your home ready for a new dog. Or you can research cleaning tips.

Oh my. You have my deepest condolences on your loss. So sad for you and your family. That is heartbreaking.
Every vet has their own guidelines for decontaminating your home and yard. I would talk to yours and get their guidelines and follow them to the letter to be sure that the new pup is not exposed. It is sad that this is such an insidious and terrible germ/bug and that it takes so long and so much work to rid spaces of it.
Prayers for all. Post back with an update.
The most important thing you can do is make sure your new puppy has had his parvo vaccinations before you bring him home. Make sure you buy from a very reputable breeder or adopt from a humane society or rescue. Backyard breeders dont always tell the truth about the care their puppies have received. Do clean your home and yard (or anyplace else the puppy has been) with a bleach solution.
