Bringing puppies outside? When do you all allow your pups outside? Zoe's babies are 5 weeks tomorrow and really starting to get active. I'm a little worried about diseases though - especially reading what someone else went thru with Parvo and I also worry about fleas and ticks. I don't live near the woods and Zoe has never had fleas... am I being too cautious or am I better off to keep them inside? |
I would wait until at least one week after they've had their first shots. Parvo comes from the dirt many times and not just from other dogs. I wouldn't chance it until they are a little older. They can get plenty of exercise at this age in just an x-pen. They are still very young and don't need that much yet. |

mine don't go out until at least the first shot and sometimes the second shot. Not following you around Mary. Honest. LOL |
Is your yard closed in and free of other animals walking through it.????. When we had Gracie and she had to have the brace on her back legs.. we had not choice but to train her ouside in our yard..vet did not want her on any kind of training paper.. it worked.. fenced in yard I have always..and let the puppies in my yard when I am in Canada and let them run around.. So it all depends on a persons individual circumstances as to if I would say yes.. if you trust your space that your dogs are in.. then I see no problem..but I would never suggest to anyone to walk a street or a park or anywhere in public with a puppy until two weeks after all shots are given for parvo... Hope this helps... anne |
