16 weeks is right...when I got my youngest dog my vet told me that socializing the puppy with familiar dogs is OK, like a friends dog that you know is well cared for...when I got my oldest dog I didn't know much about dogs and my brother was living with us and he had a dog so the breeder told me they had to be separated until 16 weeks which is what we did, but it was hard...you have to be cautious for sure, but some kinder-puppy classes in my area start at 12 weeks, all the dogs are in the same boat...it's good to start cautious socialization early

Help with what? Your vet is right. Your puppy can be in contact with other dogs you have in your family, as long as they are all up to date on their shots. But keep him away from other dogs until he's completed all his shots. Not worth the risk.

That is only one month. Can't you keep him away fromother dogs for a month? He does not want the puppy to catch anything from other dogs. I don't believe in all those shots for dogs. They are mostly a way for vets to make money.

you want to be sure he has all his routine shots, at his young age he is susceptable to things like Parvo and Kennel Cough, which are extremely hard battles to win if a puppy. I had a puppy who was 9 months old and could not beat Parvo and we lost him.
If you want to keep your puppy healthy, and allow his immune system to grow strong, you will keep him away from other dogs for a while. Refrain from dog parks and pet stores with him.

Typically, the Parvo shot is a series in three shots.

My puppy has had her 1st vaccination and the vet said she was allowed contact with other dogs but just not to take her to a dog walking park but it is your choice. If i was you I would let my puppy out for a walk or just to be in contact with dogs you know have had their vaccinations and are good with puppies.

That's pretty normal. The vaccines need time to take effect, and the next set of shots will take care of the rest of it. Basically, right now he's still got a bit of immunity left from his mother's milk. That has to be gone from his system before the next round of vaccines, but you don't want him getting sick from other dogs in the meantime, in case the mother's immunity fades.

So, keep him as isolated from other dogs as possible. It's a good time to begin training basic commands without the distractions of a doggie park.

I raise Yorkies, puppies get their 1st set of shots at 6 wks., 2nd set at 9 wks., 3rd set at 12 wks. and 4th set at 16 wks. Then they will need a yearly booster at 1 yr. of age and yearly after that. If it is cold weather where you live you don't need to worry about Parvo its most popularly spread in the hot months of the year and if your other dogs are healthy its ok to have your puppy around them as long as their vaccinations are up to date. Have fun with you new puppy!

So what is it that you need help on? Just keep the pup away from other dogs for the next 16 weeks. He didn't mean that you need to isolate the pup from any other dogs that you may have yourself. He meant that you shouldn't expose the pup to dog outside of your own pack. Like at the dog park or at the petrsmart. Places like that.

specific! that is a hundred% ok extraordinarily because of the fact which you talked approximately as the vet. My doggy had a hive above his eye for his set of photos...allergic reaction. We provide him liquid Benadryl...2ccs of it. 25mg sounds approximately suited to a fifteen lbs canines. My doggy is 12 lbs. He might desire to experience extra effective after this. do not hardship if he sleeps...the Benadryl will make him drained. If the vet suggested a million pill then i does not hardship with regards to the dose. sturdy success!

Get a second opinion. When I adopted my dogie, the vet said that he had a s.t.d. Now, I knew from the start that he was a gentleman and would not, well you know. Anyway, I took him to a different vet and he was better in a couple weeks. He did not have a S.t.d. He is a gentleman and we named him Mr.Pippin because he is a gentleman.
