I was wondering if cats could get parvo... Also, before we moved back into our house, while we were renting it the people had a couple of older dogs. Should I be worried about bringing in a new puppy? I dont think that they had parvo or anything because they were older dogs and it's been 3 years since we moved here. Any help would be appreciated.

cats cannot get parvo. i wouldn't worry about bringing a puppy into your house now if you have been there for 3 years already

i think that scout is right and there really shouldn't be a need to worry if it has been three years. there is a feline parvovirus, and i think dogs can not catch FPV although it is possible for cats to catch canine parvovirus (but this is very rare)

merico this is from the avma site. scroll down and read about canine parvo virus. it states there that it cannot be ransmitted to cats or people. http://www.avma.org/careforanimals/animatedjourneys/pethealth/canine.asp
