Answer

 

 

As stated in the previous answer, if your dog is vaccinated and not young then it is at lower risk. In addition, have her shower before being exposed to the dog or any area it is in or around. Yes wash and dry her clothes, if possible use hot water and bleach. Check out: http://www.sheltermedicine.com/portal/is_parvovirus_canine.shtml there is a lot of good info about Parvo prevention and sanitation.
