The staffy pup I brought home from the shelter had parvo. She soiled twice on my carpet. I quickly cleaned it up and then we used a trigene disinfectant from the vet and sprayed the carpet many times. She also vomited once outside and we dug out the soil about 2 feet and bleached the area. The pavers have been bleached and all floors have been bleached. My pup had to be put down, she was so young and sick. How long should we wait until anther pup can come into my home?

Unless you want your heart broken again, I wouldn't take any chances. Ask you vet!
We lost r puppy 2 weeks ago we never cleaned can we have a puppy
Ask your vet.
I had a dog die on Christmas Eve of Parvo. What we did is we sprayed our yard with bleach water. 10 parts water to 1 part bleach spray very well. Clean inside as well as possible with bleach where you can and do the best everywhere else. Then you MUST either get an older dog that is up to date on its shots and I would get a shot record. But if you get a puppy you must get every single shot they are supposed to get. Which is 4 parvo/distempers.
We have 4 puppies now and we have had them since they were 6-7 wks old we did the shot thing and the bleach thing. I also steam cleaned my carpets. But they are all doing great. No sign what so ever and we have had them for over 3 months now. Hope this helps.
I needed to read this! Lost a pup Friday to what could be parvo. Test was negative BUT his sister was diagnosed today. Got another (different litter) Sunday thinking no parvo. I am panicked!
The vaccine is not 100% please make sure you know all the facts before giving information to someone. My puppy had all her vaccines and still contracted the virus and passed away. Vaccines are NOT 100%. Please do NOT assume your puppy is in the clear just bc she was vaccinated. You can bleach your house and that's a great step in the right direction, however, Parvo is EVERYWHERE. Every household, every store, every public park, parvo is literally everywhere. It is impossible to disinfect your entire house. You would have to bleach every shoe you ever wore, every piece of clothing, etc. Ask your vet for the facts on this disease. Its aggressive, violent, deadly. If you really care about your babies and you dont want to go through this heartache again, wait at least 6 months to a year before bringing in another baby.
sorry stupid question, did the bleach kill the grass? Just want an answer
Your puppy is absolutely NOT safe 24 hours after the vaccine! 10 to 14 days after the last vaccine in the series.
I am soooo sorry about your pup...ours came down with this when she was appox. 5 or 6 months..fortunately she pulled through...she is now 13...but she was sooo sick and was mis diagnosted during the first visit to see what was wrong. It was a miracle she pulled through. I am sure your vet could tell you...at the time she had it and was cured..we did not know much...we didn't do anything in the way of clean up!?!?
Good luck to you
my puppy had parvo we had her for two days soiled only once on the carpet i have bleached everywhere possible we had to get her put down so my children and i would love to get another pup .we have paid for a staffy she is having her 3rd shot in 3 weeks and we will wait another week before bringing her home. will that home be safe?
I am worried that I have made a mistake, I adopted a puppy and it had parvo so we put it down, the next dau we bleached the floors and put disinfectant on the furniture and carpets and we have washed all of the clothes and blankets with color safe bleach, then that night we brought home our new puppy and she hasn't had her shots yet, I wasn't aware that we were supposed to wait weeks or even months after bleaching, was this a horrible move or does my puppy still have a fighting chance?
Editor's Note: It would be best if you can get her shots right away. You may have done enough to kill the virus, only time will tell but getting the shots will help.
I would love to know if your puppy was ok? I got a puppy last month that passed form parvo. we've cleaned out home with bleach and washed all our clothing in colour safe bleach. its been over a month since I've cleaned the house. my son really wants a puppy. I'm scared of bringing a puppy home.
It takes longer than 24-48 for a shot to work, it is more like 2 weeks. If a pup has already been exposed to parvo, it's not a good idea to give the shot, as the shot brings down the immune system, better to wait a couple of weeks, then give the shot, best thing is ask your vet...but if I knew it was in my house or yard, don't give a shot and let your new pup on the floor or yard, they most likely will come down with parvo. No one has a difinite time frame of how long it is in the environment, months - years, depends, bleach is all you can do, but you can't wipe out every trace of it in your yard. Best to use a shot called Neopar at the age of 5 to 6 weeks, keep you pup away from everything, possibly crated for 2 weeks, keep your hands clean or wear gloves, you can have the germ on your hands and bring to your pup. All puppies should have a series of 4 shots, with the last one being around 16 weeks. Shot at 6 weeks is not going to do it, 2 sets will not do it.
We got a pup and it was 6-8 weeks old. after a few weeks she became sick and thats when we found out she had parvo. We thought she was gonna get over it, but it was just so hard knowing she was gonna die. I prayed to god every night and every time I seen her mess or vomit. it was the worst thing ever had to go through watching my puppy die, and there was nothing I could do. We wanna get another pup but we are not sure what we need to do, before bringing the pup home.
Don't get another pup please. If you just watched your pup die and didn't get it vet care you should never get another puppy. A good percentage of parvo puppies can be saved with proper medical care.
Bleach will NOT work outside! Use Shacklee Basic G, it kills the Parvo in the grass, on the ground but won't kill the grass or pollute the ground.
BTW, Parvo stays on and in the ground a year if not treated and it can be tracked home by anyone who goes in your yard.
I used bleach many times with water mixed in and it killed the parvo virus I fostered pup out of the shelter and a few I brought home came down with it but I bleached the yard and have hade many pups in the yard and no one has ever gotten sick from parvo since I bleached every inch of my yard and house if u use the the right dilution it will kill the parvo virus I used the sprayer that attached to the water hose and it mixes while its spraying I have never hade a problem with the parvo coming or in the yard and it's been like 10 years and that's all we use at my vet to is bleach my vet has always told me to bleach my yard before bring in a new pup if u bleach it will kill that virus iam a firm believer in bleach have always used it and always have been safe!!! That's just my experience tho and I have been fostering and rescuing dogs and cats for years and bleach has always been my best friend.
