Hello. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is fine to let Cecille out as much as you would like once she is an adult (over 10 months of age). For now you can take her out for short periods of time supervised. Ultimately it is completely up to you how much you want to let her out. There is no set standard. Hope this helps. Best wishes!
