My understanding is that it will pass onto all of your dogs. if you dont treat it you will get it back and yes, stress will make the symptoms start. The problem is that many larger dogs carry it and then they poo and then your dog walks on the spores and then licks their feet and then gets it. So many folks don't treat it so it becomes an epidemic. You should be treating all your dogs in your house........not just your puppy. A person can have it on their shoes and introduce it into their home. Treat it and clean clean clean!!
