Good questions! Puppies start their vaccinations around 7-8 weeks of age so Luna is definitely ready to get her first shots. She can go outside to use the bathroom. Just do not take her to areas where a lot of dogs congregate like dog parks. I would not take her around too many other dogs unless you know they have been properly vaccinated until she is done with all her shots around 16 weeks of age. Hope this answers your question. Best wishes!

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, it is time for Luna to have her first vaccination now. The vaccine will have to be repeated in 2-4 weeks. Please, remember to de-worm her before or just after the vaccination.
