That's what I was hoping...

Not that this applies in your case....but even vaccinated dogs can get parvo if exposed to contaminated soil. A friend of mine purchased a home...and his dogs both came down with parvo from the yard. One was sicker than the other, but they both survived.

Several of our dog parks here have closed in recent months due to parvo outbreaks traced back to the soil. The only requirement to use the park is proof of rabies. The closings plus knowing what happened to a friend of mine...has kept me from ever taking mine to any dog park.
