5. Vitamin C.
A crucial way to fight something that breaks down the immune system is to first build the immune walls. It's like saying someone is coming to knock down your gate and you don't know when, so you in turn start building a stronger gate that can't be easily knocked down.
Begin giving your dog vitamin c daily so as to further strengthen their immune system against parvo.
