Observations of clinical cases suspected of canine parvovirus attended at the Veterinary Hospital at the Federal University of Viçosa indicate that the dogs vaccinated in stores which commercialize agropecuary products showed a greater frequency of the disease compared to the ones vaccinated at veterinary clinics. The objective of this study is the evaluation of the answer to the vaccines commercialized in different stores and following or not the vaccination protocol indicated by the literature, the antibody titers against the canine parvovirus in dogs serum in the urban area of the city of Viçosa-MG was determined. Blood serum sample was obtained from each of the 150 selected dogs. These animals were healthy and were from six months to six years old. The animals belong to several breeds and both sex. The dogs were selected following pre-established characteristics to form five groups of 30 animals each: A) dogs vaccinated in veterinary clinics following the literature patterns; B) dogs vaccinated in veterinary clinics not following the indicated protocol; C) dogs vaccinated in agropecuary product stores following the indicated protocol; D) dogs vaccinated in agropecuary product stores not following the indicated protocol; E) dogs not vaccinated. The antibody titers were measured in each animal serum through the hemagglutination inhibition test. According to the results of this study, it was concluded that the vaccination against canine parvovirus is important, considering the difference between the titers of vaccinated and non-vaccinated dogs. Furthermore dogs vaccinated in veterinary clinics are more protected than that vaccinated in agropecuary product stores, mainly if this vaccination followed the literature patterns.
