I don't remember my vet every mentioning that my pup needs this- is it something you have to ask for?

Assuming your vet is competent, the parvo innoculation is included in the series of puppy shots. At a minimum, vets usually give a combined innoculation for rabbies, distemper, parvo, bordetella (kennel cough).

Other vaccines include leptospirosis, coronavirus, canine parainfluenza, and Borrelia burgdorferi (causes Lyme Disease), and often what is recommended depends on the region of the country. As your vet what is recommended for your area.
