Parvovirus vaccination, has your dog ever had it?
If not, have him/her vaccinated for it. I believe it's a one or two time vaccination, not annual.
If contracted, it can kill quickly. It's highly contagious. Treatment for Parvo is costly, at around $1500/$2500.00 or even more.
Parvo is considered an annual vaccination.
I think it depends on the vet. I've had vets tell me as long as puppies go through the Parvo series as puppies, they are good for life. Others have said it needs to be annual, especially if puppy vaccinations are not known. I know Parvo vac.is one part of the five part DHLP-P combination vaccinations, but some vets do not use that vaccination.
I recently picked up another pup from a high kill shelter. He turned out to have Parvo. I took him to my vet, who told me he had a slim chance of survival. Four days later and $1500.00, he was home. Now, he acting like a puppy again, bouncing off the walls
. The vet said once a dog has Parvo, they cannot get it again. However, she uses the DHLP-P comb, so he will be vaccinated for it anyway.
My other dog has always gotten the annual DHLP-P, so he is good to go.
