Yes, as long as the other dog is fully vaccinated this should not be a problem. If the other dog is around dog parks or goes to boarding facilities, then I would try and distance the two dogs while they are in the same household. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
