What Is Canine Parvovirus?

Canine parvovirus is a very dangerous virus that can be spread from an infected dog to a healthy dog via bodily secretions. If your dog is vaccinated against canine parvovirus, he will not be infected. The virus can affect puppies and dogs that are between 12 weeks and three years old. At six weeks, your dog can be vaccinated against the virus by a veterinarian in San Jose.
