When is it safe to introduce vaccinated stray dogs to my dog?

Question

I found three strays last week, but their owner has not come forward so I got them vaccinated yesterday. I did not want to keep putting my pets at risk. When is it safe to introduce them to my dog? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 10 years and 4 months old | 17 lbs

Hello. If your first dog has been routinely vaccinated, then there should be no danger introducing him to the newcomers. Make sure everyone has been treated for fleas & ticks, & the new guys checked for intestinal parasites & hopefully everything should go smoothly. You are a remarkable individual for rescuing 3 dogs, so I do hope everything goes well. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
