You should not\u00a0take your puppy to a dog park or pet store until he\/she is fully vaccinated.\u00a0 This is usually 2 weeks after their\u00a0last puppy booster at\u00a0around 4 months old.\u00a0\u00a0You should try to avoid\u00a0public places where other unvaccinated or sick dogs may be.\u00a0\u00a0There are so many things your puppy can catch from other animals, so it is not worth\u00a0the risk.\u00a0\u00a0Your puppy doesn’t have to live in a bubble, just make wise choices about where you take your puppy.<\/p>\n

A good rule of thumb is that if you don’t know the dog, don’t let your pup get to know it until he\/she is fully vaccinated.\u00a0 Instead of taking your pup out, ask your friends or family to bring over their healthy, vaccinated animals to play with your puppy.\u00a0 As long as the visiting dog didn’t just come from a dog park or other place he could pick something up, you should be fine. Make sure you get visitors of all ages, so your pup will have great experiences with adults and children.<\/p>\n
