Of the 3,100+ dogs that we have helped treat during the past three years or so, a growing number of them have been fully vaccinated and up-to-date with all of their shots, regardless of whether they are puppies or adults, and yet they are still getting Parvo (and dying if not properly and promptly treated).
Check out a blog post we wrote about vaccinations: ParvoBuster Blog Blog Archive Parvo Vaccinations - What The Vet Won?t Tell You! |
you are not bursting any bubbles... I do know about parvo. My simplified answer to the op was to let her know about the possibilities of the parvo virus living in the grass. OF COURSE there is NO 100% guarantee, (nor did I say that a vaccination is a
guarantee) that ANY dog will not get parvo, vaccinated or not.... just that generally the vaccine will HELP prevent your puppy from getting parvo. The purpose of my post was NOT to debate the effectiveness of the parvo vaccine, but to educate the OP about the dangers of parvo with an UNVACCINATED young puppy. If you have a fenced yard where other neighborhood dogs do not have access, your puppy will generally be SAFE once it has had it's shots.
