Additionally, it is best to keep interactions short and supervised.
Can my unvaccinated puppy be around other dogs that are vaccinated?

Can a puppy get parvo from a vaccinated dog?

Therefore, it is important to keep young puppies away from other dogs that may be carrying the virus, even if the other dog is vaccinated. Additionally, puppies should be vaccinated for parvovirus according to the recommended schedule to ensure maximum protection.
