Hi. I have a German shepherd puppy 3 months and 13 days old he had his second vaccination less than 2 weeks ago can i take him for walks i already took him once after I trained him for the collar and the leash he really liked to go out there he even calmed down a bit and slept after the walk and he wanted to go for more standing next the door.

Hello, yes you can take your puppy out for walks however, you increase the likelihood that he may become sick. Because he has been vaccinated it makes it less likely, however, you should consider only allowing your puppy around other pets whom you know are fully vaccinated. We are most concerned with diseases such as Parvovirus, distemper, influenza, and kennel cough. Continue to follow the recommended vaccine schedule for your puppy and be cautious about which other dogs come in contact with your puppy. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Hello. Just to be sure, please try to wait until Vino gets that last booster at 16 weeks of age. I agree 100% with your vet that the 6 week shot was very likely ineffective, so he does need the last vaccine to make sure he can fight off any disease he might come across. Better safe than sorry. Thanks for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Great questions! Vaccines should be given four weeks apart for them to be effective, so you need to wait until Skylar is 10 weeks of age before getting them again. Puppies are not fully vaccinated until they have three rounds of vaccines, so I would not be taking her for a walk after her second vaccines. You will have to wait until at least 10 days after her third series of vaccines is given at 14 weeks of age before it's safe to take her for a walk. While that does seem like a while away, until that time she will still be susceptible to contracting very deadly diseases such as parvovirus and distemper. You want to avoid that at all costs, so definitely wait until 10 days after the third series of vaccines is given before taking her for a walk. Good luck, I hope this helps!
