I would wait until Keelo has finished his full series of vaccinations (at about 16-18 weeks) so that he is protected against those infectious diseases. Be sure that he receives his kennel cough vaccination as well. This vaccine is by no means 100% protective, but it can help to reduce the severity of the symptom should he contract kennel cough.
