Thank you! I appreciate your advice. We do have a stroller for her and plan on taking her around like you have mentioned. I am just lost at what to do if she has to potty? Is it safe to find an area off the beaten path and put down a pad for her to potty on? Or is going potty outside just totally out of the question right now?
| I potty Bella before taking her on excursions--she can hold it for at least an hour--but you can take along potty pads with you if you will be out longer. The better carriers usually have a shelf or compartment on the bottom for carrying items like that. Parvo is picked up when your dog comes into contact with other animals' feces and urine, so if you pick a pristine area, put down a pad, and have Brighton go on that, you should be safe. Also, if your yard or driveway is animal-free, it might be safe to potty train her there, with or without pads. Otherwise, you can train her to go on a pad or artificial grass patch on the lanai (at least it's outdoors) and move to grassier areas after she's had her final puppy shots. |
