Can dogs catch feline parvo

A cat is not susceptible to Parvo, although it is believed to be related to a Feline Distemper virus. With that said, a cat can become exposed to Parvo via feces, etcetera, and carry the virus back on their paws or fur or in some similar way and infect dogs by being the transmitting agent. Rodents and the like can also carry the virus about in this fashion. The virus is very hardy and can last nine months off host on floors or the like. Proper vaccinination is the only way to be sure your dog is safe.
