DESIGN: Retrospective study. SETTING: Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. ANIMALS: Ninety‐five CPV positive dogs presented between June 1 and July 31, 2016. Owners elected for outpatient care when inpatient care was not financially feasible and the dog was considered medically stable for outpatient care. INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Of the 95 CPV positive dogs, 79 (83%) survived treatment. Logistic regression indicated that an increasing number of days with clinical signs prior to treatment and an increase in percent body weight during treatment were significantly associated with survival (odds ratio [OR], 3.15, P = 0.020; and OR, 1.29, P = 0.027, respectively).
