* Washing their hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the infected dog
* Avoiding contact with other dogs for at least 10 days
* Cleaning and disinfecting any surfaces that the infected dog may have come into contact with
If you think your dog may have parvo, it is important to contact your veterinarian immediately. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve the chances of your dog's survival.
