Can animals and small rodents get parvo?

The above answer is totally incorrect-It is IMPOSSIBLE to catch parvo from another species! Cats cannot get parvo. They can catch what is called Feline Distemper which is like parvo, but it only happens in cats, they cannot catch it from anything else besides cats, and it is not actually parvo. Same thing with Rodents- rodents can catch something that is "like" parvo but it is not the actual parvo virus.To sum this up only canines can get parvo.


Will getting your dog Parvo vaccinations always prevent Parvo?

Getting your dog the parvo vaccine is not 100 percent protection. Certain breeds are more vonerable to contracting Parvo. Bulldogs, pitbulls, boxers and dobermans are prone to this disease and if they have come into contact with it they could easily get it.


Can dogs get parvo from cats?

No. Parvo is a disease ONLY in dogs that attacks the cells in the GI tract. This disease is not zoonotic (humans cannot catch it) and neither can felines. Felines can get another form of parvo called panleukopenia unrelated to Parvo with similar symptoms. But dogs can't catch it from cats and vice versa.Source: Veterinary Technician at an emergency and specialty hospital.
