IMO you should wait, better safe than sorry-
Also NEVER put your dog in one of the shopping carts at Petco/ Petsmart, you wouldnt believe how many dogs have been in there with Parvo-
I worked at the Vet Banfield in Petsmart, I remember one time a guy brought his dog in a shopping cart, all of a sudden the dog had explosive diarrhea- It went all over the shopping cart!!
Turned out the dog had Parvo! |
I wanted to underscore, bold print, capitalize this ENTIRE post!!! ESPECIALLY ABOUT PETCO/PETSMART!!! EVEN AFTER THEY ARE FULLY VACCINATED!!! I HAVE READ WHERE THE PARVO VIRUS IS MUTATING AND IS BECOMING RESISTANT TO SOME VACCINATIONS....everytime I see shere someone had a fully vaccinated dog and it still got Parvo, I wonder if this may not be true.... I think Parvo is our "disease de jour" here in Texas, especially HOUSTON!!! IT IS RAMPANT HERE....Just wait to expose your baby to the "ravages of public interactions"!!
