Is my 5-month-old vaccinated puppy safe to play with other dogs?

Question

Hi! We just picked up a puppy from a breeder yesterday. He's 5 months old and has had 3 rounds of canine distemper adenovirus type 2 parainfluenza vaccine. Is he safe to be around other dogs? Thanks! Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 1 day old | 47 lbs

Yes - as long as his most recent booster was given at four months of age or older, he should be considered fully vaccinated. He will need a rabies vaccine from your veterinarian when you get a chance to have this done, but in the meantime it should be fine for him to be around other dogs. Congrats on your new puppy! :)
