So sorry about your pup. Parvo is highly contagious for months after the dog has passed away. Best to have him cremated. Clean everything washable in your house with a solution of 10% bleach and water. Throw away all of his toys and bowls and beds and food. Clean the yard thoroughly - might even want to have the grass dug out and replaced with new sod if you plan to get another dog soon. Wait at least three months before you get another pup and be sure it has at least 3 vaccinations for parvo before you bring him home.

You can bury the puppy in your yard, but wrap it up in a sealable bag, like a garmet bag, the parvo virus is already in your yard from the puppy. Parvo is not airborne, it is spread from the puppys vomit, diahrrea, and pee. Wherever your puppy has been is where the virus is. You need to clorox bleach everything. Clorox and water solution will kill the deadly virus. If the puppy was inside of your house use a clorox solution in there also. I have had a couple dogs with parvo, but the vet saved mine, and this is all the information the vet gave to me. If you bury your puppy in the yard, pour clorox bleach over the grave site. The virus is in your yard and house now, before your puppy died.
I am so very sorry about your loss, I wish there were no such thing as parvo.

The parvo bacteria stays in the earth for about 6 months, so don't bury him in your yard, also don't buy a puppy too soon it could get sick too, wait some months or buy an older puppy already vacinated.

I'm sorry about your puppy. However, if you bury him in the yard you will risk any animals you get. This unfortunately will sound harsh, but just put the body in a bag or two and in the dumpster or outside garbage can. Best wishes

I know what you're going through. Your city should have a disposal for small animals, check under city, or call city hall and ask. We brought our dog to this special place ourselves, I wish I hadn't. Have a friend do it for you. Then your last memories don't include it. I will gladly do it for friends. Sorry for your loss.

I am so so sorry for your loss. This is so sad.
I don't know the answer to your question, but I am pleading with you - if you get another puppy please have it vaccinated.

Have him cremated..it is not expensive and it is dangerous to bury him anywhere.
