How can I disinfect an area contaminated by a dog infected with Parvovirus?
There are many Parvovirus disinfectants on the market. Bleach is still roughly 95% effective against Parvovirus. The dilution ratio is one part bleach to 30 parts water. Caution is advised for dyed or colored fabrics or objects. This should go without saying, but to be complete, DO NOT use a bleach preparation on the animal at any time!!! The commercial Parvovirus disinfectants have the advantage of better smelling preparations. Check the label for color fast warnings. See your veterinarian for the various disinfectants available. Be sure to keep ant bodily fluids (feces and any vomitus) picked up in the yard and kennel area as well.
