A question on the Parvo shot
Our dogs are due for their shots in January. At home our yard is privacy fenced, they don't come in contact with other dogs, Eris is a Corgi and 10 years old, Pickett is a Jack Russell mix and is 5 1...

ery good points. I wanted to expand, the parvo virus can survive in the ground for extended periods of time, over winter (we think), and on objects (like your shoes, hands, feet, wheels of your car and RV...) so your dog does NOT have to come in contact with an infected dog to be exposed to the virus. Staying in a house or in your yard is no protection at all.
One other thing to consider-most, if not all, of the canine family (wolves, coyotes, foxes) can also carry/transmit Parvo. Although your yard is fenced, even if you walk the dog across your driveway there is still a chance it can become infected from other members of the canine family.
