My pit bull puppy is 14 weeks old and had her 3rd round of DHPP last week. I’m worried about not getting her socialized in her early months. She is getting to heavy to carry. Is it safe to walk her outside?

Yes, it should be safe to walk her outside. She should be protected if she has had 3 DHPP vaccines and up to date on her other vaccines. It is always a good idea to keep her away from sick or unvaccinated dogs.
