Puppy wart treated. When can my dog return to doggie daycare?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 9 months and 26 days old | 78 lbs

Our 9 month old puppy does have a confirmed puppy wart on the outside of his chin and has no inside mouth warts. It was frozen at the vet and now it has fallen off. How long do we have to wait until we can bring him back to doggie daycare?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! You would have to wait a few months before reintroducing him to other dogs to ensure that he is not going to develop more as these can be easily transmitted to other dogs. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian in a few months to ensure that no further lesions are seen before you reintroduce him to other dogs. Usually, this happens in younger dogs as their immune system gets stronger and it takes care of this in their system. Good luck and have a good day!
