Of the 3,200+ dogs (and cats) that we have helped to treat for Parvo during the past three years, many have been fully-vaccinated and up-to-date with all of their shots, and this applies both to puppies and adult dogs too (some as old as five). Also, as the previous commenter says, we also have many customers whose dogs develop full Parvo symptoms within two weeks (but often one or two days) of being vaccinated, because the chemicals these vaccinations contains can completely destroy a dog's immune system during the immediate post-vaccination period.
