My vet said as long as they are vaccinated that should do the trick from keeping your dog from getting parvo. And so far it has for us. 2 years ago(maybe it was 3 years) I puchased a blue fawn chihauhua sort of on a whim, only to discover she had parvo. I had her for only 24 hours and she was very sick. When I got her she wasnt very active but I was told she was tired from playing all day, and well I was a sucker(couldnt resist her gorgeous color and face). Well Penny my boxer had a litter of 2 week old puppies so when I found out she had parvo I was totally freaked out. Well I of coursed ask the vet about the puppies since they were in the same house as they chihuahua with the parvo, and she said as long as the mother was vaccinated, the pups should be okay. I dont know if it was a miracle, or what but the pups were fine. Thank goodness for vaccines. I dont know what I would have done if anything had happened to Penny or her babies.
So yes I think if she is vaccinated you shouldnt have to worry so much
