The high rate of morbidity and mortality in young animals requires the use of specific prophylactic measures. Vaccination against canine parvovirosis is part of the common vaccination scheme; a live-attenuated vaccine is used. The purpose of our study is to evaluate the dynamics of anti-CPV antibodies as a result of vaccination, considering that CPV is extremely important in the sanitary management of dogs.
