My 10-week puppy's vaccines need restarting. When can he go outside?

Question

Hi, after some advice about puppy vaccinations. Took our pup for his final vaccination today at 10 weeks hoping to take him out in a week or 2. Now the bet has told us that we have to start the vaccinations all over again due to the first vaccination not covering certain viruses. So it’s abother 4-5 weeks until we can take him out now. I have attached my photos. Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 9 days old | 8 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! At 10 weeks of age, regardless of what vaccines Ted had previously, he is not old enough to consider him fully vaccinated. We vaccinate starting at 7-8 weeks and give the DHPP (or whatever version of that vaccine) every 3-4 weeks until they receive TWO past 12 weeks of age. I have seen dogs who got their last vaccine at 12 weeks still get parvo (at risk breeds like rottweilers and pit bulls). So while I am not in full agreement with the reason you were given I agree that he is not fully vaccinated yet. There is a fine line between protecting him from disease and socialization. He can be socialized with well vaccinated dogs and can go for walks on side walks. He shouldn't play with puppies or dogs where you do not know their vaccine status or play in dog parks. I hope this helps and I wish you the very best!
