Hello, and thank you for using Boop by Petco. This is a great question, and it's good that you're thinking about how to keep your animals safe. The difficulty comes from the fact that dirt and gravel are, by nature, nearly impossible to truly disinfect. We can talk about disinfecting hard (non-porous) surfaces with bleach, which is really the only disinfectant that is effective against parvovirus....but nothing will truly disinfect dirt and gravel, because you can't saturate and soak all sides of every piece of dirt & rock with the bleach solution, and parvovirus can remain in the environment for months to even years. So, with a big grain of salt to consider that it still won't be truly disinfected, but to do your diligence to try to sanitize the area as best as possible, I recommend thoroughly spraying the area with copious amounts of water first (the goal here is to dilute and wash away any remaining microscopic fecal matter). Let it dry, then I'd spray the top layer of dirt & g

Trifectant and Roccal-D are popular disinfectants. Directions for use may vary by product, so the best option is to read the label. A 1:32 bleach and water solution can also be used. Allow for at least a 15 minute wet contact time before rinsing. Each kennel should be cleaned and sanitized after each use.

I hate to hear that Leny is so sick. First you will want to make sure that you follow the doctor's instructions exactly and that you don't miss any of the medications. Many times these puppies suffer from dehydration and this can lead to other problems, so it is essential that you watch his fluid intake. If he seems like he is not drinking enough, then take him back to the vet for more fluids. You can also touch his gums to roughly check fro dehydration. Lift up his upper lip and touch the gums above the canine (fang) teeth. It should be some slick/smooth with saliva. If your finger sticks to the gum, them he is possibly dehydrated. You also need to feed him a very bland diet. I recommend Royal Canin High Energy Puppy if you can find it. Otherwise Hill Science diet makes one call i/d that is also good. Your vet may also have their own recommendations. Basically just watch Leny very closely and take him back to the vet if something doesn't seem right. Lastly, yes, bleach is what you w

Thanks for using Boop by Petco! For the floors, you may use bleach in a 1:30 dilution (meaning 1 part of bleach and 30 parts of water). This needs to be left in the surface for at least 10-15 minutes to be effective. For the furniture and clothing, you may use steam-cleaning as these viruses do not tolerate high temperatures well. Good luck!
