my dog went away after getting parvo, its been 6 months now, I've cleaned the whole floor with the bleach solution various times, is there anything else I should do? I want to get a new puppy home but too afraid as I've heard a lot about parvo and also how it can be spread to the new puppy as well. please let me know when can I bring a new puppy home.

Bleach and water really are the best ways to get rid of the virus in your home, but the yard is almost impossible to treat for parvovirus. It is a safer pet to get a puppy that is already fully vaccinated if you have a yard that could have potentially been infected as well. Or keep the new puppy indoors until the new puppy is fully vaccinated. Best of luck with the new pup! Take care
