i also know for a fact that a dog can and will get parvo if not vaccinated..and i would think thats how is transferred. by people NOT vaccinating and spreading the diseases that way and the ones that arent protected will be the ones suffering.
i have never had to deal with an illness or reaction
i know working for a rescue we had some young terriers with parvo..thats not something to play around with and taking chances on..so i will keep with protecting my pets..i dont think its necessary to give it yearly once older..but definitely every other year
i also know a person who brought home a new puppy and she stated she had been vaccinated (lbreeder lied) and the puppy got parvo..she survived but it was costly and there was the fear of her other pets being in jeopardy . she couldnt have any more puppies for some time if she wanted one..she had to bleach the entire home..and thats time consuming and not to mention the heart ache and fear of losing her pet because she wasnt vaccinate and hadnt built up enough of an immune system
the idea of not vaccinating sounds like a breeding ground for parvo...

check out my post below where i have titered for 5 plus years and a plumber came in to my home 2xs the week his puppy was in the vet for parvo. My dogs are fine. Every professional i called as i called ALOT loll told me do not worry they were vaccinated as puppies they will be fine - why? because they know once the puppy shots are done the dog is probably protected. They also told me at specialty hospital that parvo is EVERYWHERE. You can get it on you and bring it in to your home no matter where you live. My friends dog got parvo because she did not do puppy shots and took her dog hiking in the mountains and it was sad as she could not find a vet to take her and quarantine her but after running around all over finally found one and her dog lived.
The two examples are this puppy you stated and my friend is they did not have their puppy shots and the dogs need to have that to be protected. It is the dhpp after the one year booster that is in question on necessity
