When can my puppy go to doggy daycare after her parvo shots?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Pembroke Welsh Corgi | Female | spayed | 2 months and 14 days old | 25 lbs

My puppy is 2 months and 2 weeks old and she has only had DHP from her second round of vaccines. Her next one is the booster shot. When do you think the vet will give her her second parvo shot? I really want to get her into doggy daycare to make friends and exercise more but I think she needs all three parvo vaccines to meet other dogs. Any input?

The number of vaccines is not necessarily most important. I recommend vaccinating every 3-4 weeks until a dog is 16-20 weeks old. Before then there could be antibody circulating from mom that could interfere with a puppy’s ability to respond to the vaccine. You can check with the day care but if they accept dogs as young as she is and she is not due for a booster now she could probably start day care. Puppy kindergarten socialization classes might be another option.
