How does parvo get in your yard?
Parvovirus can be transmitted or carried by anything and anyone that comes into contact with an infected dog's fecal matter or vomit. That means that if a dog owner's shoe makes contact with contaminated material outside the home, the virus can easily be tracked into that person's house and yard.
