How many parvo shots does my puppy really need for full protection?

I would recommend to test Luna again for Parvo but hopefully it is giardia, worms or bacterial over growth. Luna's vaccines do give her protection but she will need 1 more round done 2-4 weeks after the last vaccine. We finish the vaccine series at 4 months old as that is when the puppy's immune system is fully mature. Get her in to the vet today and have her checked. Best of luck. I hope this is helpful. Please feel free to post any additional questions.

Most adult dogs that were appropriately vaccinated against parvo as puppies - meaning 3 different vaccinations, given no earlier than 8 weeks of age and proceeding at 3 - 4 week intervals - are protected against contracting parvovirus, as long as they receive booster vaccinations as recommended. Typically, the recommendation is one vaccination on the one year anniversary of the last puppy vaccination, and then re-vaccination every 3 years after. Just one parvo vaccination is unlikely to be completely effective, but it may provide some protection, and if he contracts the disease it will likely be a milder form.

Good Evening...thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! As long as the last DAPP is given at 16 weeks you should be good to go (3 doses of this vaccination is perfect)! You may want to ask your veterinarian about other important regional vaccinations such as Leptospirosis as this may also be a concern in your area. Good luck with Luke and have fun!

Because they were spaced so far apart, I would say no, these vaccines are not enough to protect her from parvo. You will have to start the vaccine schedule over again, and I would count this vaccine given three days ago as the initial vaccine. Because she is older, she will only need one more vaccine given four weeks after this first one to be protected from parvo. Make sure to get her rabies vaccines as well, it's required by law in most states by the time the dog is four months of age. Best of luck.

Raven is a cutie! It sounds like you are taking the appropriate precautions which is good. Her final set of vaccines will happen between 16 - 18 weeks of age. At her next appointment, discuss the vaccine schedule with her doctor. Vaccines take about a week to take effect and she will not be fully protected until after the last set. Collect the vomit in a baggie and call the vet tomorrow. They may want to see her or they may recommend and drop it off to have them examine it. Puppies can vomit up rounds worms which dewormers are highly effective against. I hope this helps!

Unfortunately Pixel can get Parvo if you unknowingly walk through the virus and bring it in on your shoes. I recommend to leave the shoes outside the house and away from him. Each vaccine gives him some protection but he will not be fully protected until he finishes the whole series. He should be a vaccine every 3 weeks until he is 16 weeks old. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.

The risk is probably pretty low, but Lucy may not have full immunity for a couple of weeks after this last vaccine was administered. We booster this vaccine frequently to hopefully catch a dog during the window where antibody leftover from mom is declining and the puppy can make it's own immune response - this may have already happened, or she may be in the process of mounting this immune response now. If Lucy seems nauseous, if she is vomiting, or if her appetite is decreased I'd recommend seeing your vet right away.
