Hi,
That is routine for me. I am the bleach queen!!! LOL! I find it is
easier to bleach your shoes and the inside of the van as you get into it from
the show. I always carry a bleach/water bottle and after the weekend we
bleach the luggage as it goes in, lightly bleach the seats and the floors and
then us as we get into the van. Weird huh? But if you have ever brought
Parvo back on your clothing or shoes and lost babies because of that, it
really isn't that weird. Never had Parvo again until I did my "rescue" thing
and we adopted a Papillon from a shelter. We bleached like crazy when we
got her out of the shelter (she was a dog, not a puppy) but unfortunately 4
days after we adopted her, she got sick, on a weekend of course and we took
her into the vet on Monday and he diagnosed Parvo. I turned 10 shades of
white. One I didn't want to loose this sweet girl, but unfortunately we
did, I had 5 acres to bleach and I am getting too old to do this, but bleach
I did, but the driveway and the house (3 levels). Took me 2 days and when
you bleach you have to make sure you don't go from an area that is not
bleached into a bleached area or you re contaminate it. I had a bitch
pregnant, so I was very, very upset. Luckily the bleach did the trick and all
puppies were fine. I hope NEVER to have to do that again. If you adopt,
check
out the shelters, the one that we adopted from was terrible, they never
quarantined the dogs, just ran them thru there like a puppy mill. Funny,
knew of that shelter for years and thought that they were ok. Boy was I
wrong.

When I had a couple of litters I didn't want to miss some obedience trials
with my other two shepherds. It was scary all of the stories trying to
keep
every precaution in mind as possible to protect the babies. We bleached
our
shoes & everything when coming back to the house. I prepared for
everything
I could think of before we trialed. Changed clothes, bleached shoes before
we entered the vehicle/bagged clothes & did everything possible. Wow was
that a lot of work but whatever [sigh] I even made people take off their
shoes & wash their hands when they came later to see the pups. Everything
turned out okay for me. So I guess it was worth all of the extra work. I
probably took my chances when I took my litters to the vet for their first
check. My vet never seemed to worry about that. But then there were other
things he did later on he shouldn't have done either. I guess I was just
lucky some times. Koda's Kathy
Hi,
I wouldn't trust that at all. If she doesn't bleach before she gets into
her car to go home from work, she has contaminated her van/car. Then
anyone who puts their foot down on that part of the carpet is
contaminated.
I
brought home Parvo on my feet from a dear friend's house. I was only
there
for 15 min, didn't have any dogs, but she had Parvo (she didn't know it)
and I brought it home to my house. Ever since then I take no chances a
bleach and make every dog person bleach before they enter my house. That
includes puppy buyers!

Oh we've thought of that...my vet wears her "house shoes" when she comes
at 6 weeks and not her work shoes!

As for picking up diseases, it a vet comes to your home, you would have to
have him bleach his shoes, etc before he walks in your home, so he could
just as easily bring parvo, etc to your litter.
