Can a Dog Get Parvo Twice? Canine parvovirus (CPV or commonly referred to as “parvo”) is one of the most serious viruses that dogs can get. Thankfully, it is very preventable with proper vaccination. This virus was discovered in 1967 and has rapidly become a serious threat to canine health. This is primarily due to the fact that the virus is hard to kill, can live for a long time in the environment, and is shed in large quantities by infected dogs. The virus is also highly contagious, which is why the parvo vaccine is considered a core vaccine for puppies and dogs. While the highly effective parvovirus vaccine has decreased the risk to properly vaccinated dogs, this disease is unfortunately still widely prevalent, especially in puppies and adolescent dogs. Here’s everything you need to know about parvo in dogs—how to protect your dog from it, the signs of parvo that you should look for, and what to do if you your dog is showing symptoms.
