At what age can my unvaccinated puppy safely swim in a pool?

Question

I would wait until Chase is fully vaccinated with his Rabies and Distemper combo vaccines. This is usually accomplished by 16 weeks of age, or at the latest, 18 weeks of age if following a normal vaccination schedule. There is no reason that you have to wait any longer than this. With a young puppy like Chase, I would consider putting a life preserver on him just so he can maintain some relative confidence while swimming for the first few times. You can obtain them at most pet stores and on websites like Amazon. Hope this makes sense.
