How to get parvo out of your carpet?

My puppy is in the hospital right now,being treated for parvo and he’s doing pretty well.

I want to clean the whole house before he comes back… what am I supposed to use for the couches, carpet, etc?

I know bleach for the bowls, toys and all that, but what about fabrics?

Also, can parvo live in my car?

Thank you!:)

Answer #1

Ask the Vet…you might just have to steam clean the furniture (like one of those you rent). I don’t know what temperature the Parvo virus dies…It may very well be, that Parvo can’t live outside the soil…too.

This is a Vet question. :)

im not to sure but maybe get a professional in to make sure its done proply- worth it to stop your poor pup getting ill again… Oh and use the bleach but make sure you rinse it really well with clean water- dont want any tummy upsetgs from the bleach. Good luck and hope your pooch gets well soon!

Answer #3

I can’t get his shots right away. They said he has to come back for a check up before… I’ve heard once a dog gets parvo, they’re immune after that but I don’t think that’s true. Thanks:)

Answer #4

My male chihuahua Mojo got parvo at 6 months old so we cleaned the whole house down with bleach the fabric part of the house we went to petco and bought a spray for like the couch, bed, dog bed and so on. To anwser you other question about being immune, not true in matter of fact they run the risk of getting it again. Parvo can live in the ground up to 10 years threw any type of weather. Make sure after he heathly get him all his shots. Also to help with his parvo there a med called parvaid and it works wonders, its all natural and you can pick it up in your local pet stores.
