What else can I do to prevent puppy parvo and distemper besides shots?

Question

Aside from complete vaccination, are there any ways to prevent my puppy from getting sickness such as parvo and distemper? Pet's info: Dog | Shih Tzu | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 30 days old | 5.51156 lbs

The best method is vaccines. You want to make sure they get boosters every 3 weeks until she is 15-16 weeks old then once every 1-3 years (depends on the type of vaccine your vet uses). I would also keep her away from any public dog areas like dog parks, etc. I would also keep her in your yard and only visit places where you know the dogs are fully vaccinated. I hope this helps!
