At 12 weeks of age, I think 90% of all puppies have lost their maternal antibodies, so the vaccine will do it's job. Two vaccines after the age of 12 weeks is what is necessary to establish immunity, then boosters at 1 Yr old, and at that point may be protected for life.
Check your state laws about vaccine requirements. |
Ok, but the vet said to bring her in now at 8 weeks. we have a lot of problems with Parvo in my state. I keep her in the house, but parvo can be brought in on almost anything. shoes, pants, other pets fur from being outside. so even if I dont let her out, it can still get into her no matter how careful I am. Shes not my only pet. My other dogs are vaccinated, but that doesnt mean they cant carry it on them.
Edited to add that my husband works at a facility that has live pigs on it. just all sorts of stuff I worry about could be brought home on his clothing as well.
