BLEACH BLEACH BLEACH... I have gone over the entire house with bleach and water, tossed out all bones, toys, bedding, purses, crates, collars, etc.

Went over the rugs with bleach and in addition to that I am having a carpet cleaner come in and do a bleach and water cleanse... (fortunatly my carpets are white).

I have washed my comforter and other bedding that parvo may have come in contact with bleach.

My concern is, what if I missed a tiny spot somewhere... I have read that it is not Airborn, but I have also read that it can come in on your clothes and hands, etc. That handling a dog with parvo wheather or not you came in contact with feases, can pass it on.

I pretty much had a puppy with Parvo at my home for about 4 days... although I miss him terribly, I would like to get a new puppy fairly soon. (Not from the same breeder.)

Any ideas?

Also, I live in the LA area and if anyone can recommend a respectuful/professional breeder, I am open.
