If I had dogs in my back yard that died from parvo will my dog in the front yard also get it and die?

Parvo lives in the soil for up to 9 months to a year, or even longer depending on your weather. Wind can blow it (especially if you soil has little to no grass, or is sandy). The best prevention is to have your dogs vaccinated for parvo before you even bring them home. You also need to disinfect the inside of your home, as your shoes can carry the virus in from the back yard to the front yard. And, if the dogs were in the house, EVERYTHING needs to be disinfected with bleach water.
If it comes into contact with the late dogs' feces/bacteria, it can contract parvo
Parvo can last for weeks. It is transmitted through anything the infected dog came in contact with.
parvo lasts even more than a year. once you have an animal die from it you are taking a risk with even a vaccinated animal for the next two years. you should pour bleach over every inch of the yard the deceased dog touched.
