Is my 9-week-old puppy safe for hiking after two parvo shots?

Question

My 9 week old Australian shepherd has had two parvo shots. Can I start taking her hiking with me?

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

No, not yet. She needs three shots each given four weeks apart in order to be fully vaccinated. Puppies aren't old enough to be vaccinated until they are at least 6 weeks of age, so if she has had two shots by nine weeks, either she was given one shot too early or the two were given too close together. Due to this, she will need two more vaccines each given four weeks apart until she is protected. Do not take her hiking until then. Best of luck.
