How long does parvo last on grass?
Parvo can stay in the yard for up to a year without living in a host so I do not recommend bringing in any new puppies that aren't fully vaccinated (boosters every 3 weeks until they are ~15-16 weeks old) into your yard.
Can parvo be in grass?
Parvo can be found in almost any environment. It is transmitted when a susceptible dog comes in contact with the virus. This includes contact with the feces of an infected dog, or objects that contain the virus (shoes, clothes, bedding, bowls, grass, carpets, floors, etc).
Can parvo spread from yard to yard?
A healthy dog could get parvo by playing with an infected dog or by touching or licking something the infected dog touched. If a dog diagnosed with parvo has been in your yard, the virus could linger in every patch of grass or spot where the dog walked or relieved itself.
Can parvovirus live in the ground?
Extremely resilient, parvovirus can survive in the environment for up to nine years, including the ground and soil. It can also withstand most household cleaning products (bleach is an exception), heat, cold and humidity, all of which makes the spread of the virus is hard to control.
