Question

Is it safe to take an 8 week 4 day old puppy RV camping? Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 8 days old

Sara Farmer, DVM · Accepted Answer

I would think that the main concern would be exposure to other dogs and areas where potentially unvaccinated dogs have been. At this age Brooks is still susceptible to parvovirus. If there are not a lot of dogs where you camp it may not be a concern. It is also important for puppies this age to be socialized and introduced to new experiences so if you plan to do a lot of RV camping it would be good to introduce it early. You should make sure that Brooks is up to date on vaccines and that he is on a parasite preventative.
