Spring-time means the start of the Parvo season, and there is an infinitely more aggressive strain of the Parvo virus that is killing dogs at an alarming rate. The 2c Strain can kill both adult dogs and puppies within 6-12 hours after symptoms first appear, even though they may be fully-vaccinated and up-to-date with all their shots.

We put together this little quiz to see if you are up on the latest Parvo facts. These questions are all True/False:

1. Parvo is a puppy disease and my adult dogs are safe.
2. All of my dogs are up-to-date on their shots, therefore they are protected.
3. I’m worried that my cat can get infected from my Parvo puppy, should I be?
4. Foul-smelling dog diarrhea mainly comes from eating junk food.
5. Canine Parvovirus is not contagious to humans.
6. My vet quoted $750+ for Parvo treatments for my dog, I heard this is low?
7. Parvo cannot survive snow and desert-heat temperatures.
8. Parvo can only be spread via infected dog feces.
9. Parvo can incubate from 3-15 days before symptoms appear.
10. Parvo tests at the vet are always accurate.

People seem to have many misconceptions about Parvo. One thing is for certain, it will attack your pet and can take his life if you don’t take immediate action. So often, people are taken by surprise and just do not know what to look for. Parvo symptoms can appear from absolutely nowhere - one minute your dog is his usual playful self and the next minute he is lying around, not eating, no energy - basically, not the dog you know and love.
