where do you want to use this file ? 

 

you should have a solid white color behind. 

or you can save it as PNG to keep the transparent background , so when you place it on top of anything it will remian the same color, .

 

to keep it as vector file, save it as SVG or PDF

    when i save as png i have white background all outside the shape of the dog i just want the inside white and the background transparent

    below is what i have done to try and do this

     

    I put an image (photo) into illustrator and then image trace this then turned it into a black and white vector with a transparent background as you can see  this is what i wanted, however certain parts inside the image didnt go white like the rest they went transparent like the background outside the image.

    png is a pixel format so it cannot be vector.

    If you want vector data why are you working in Photoshop and not Illustrator? 

     

    Is the object a Smart Object, a Shape Layer, …? 

    Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?
