My puppy had shots. When can she safely go on grass outside?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

We have a 14 week old Boston terrier. She just had her third set of shots today. The only one she doesn’t have is rabies. We live in an apartment complex and want to know if we can introduce her to grass yet?

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question. It's great question! Wait 10 days after the shot, and then it's safe to introduce her to grass. The 10 days is needed for her immune system to be stimulated. Be sure to get her rabies as soon as possible, as it's required by law. I hope this helps!

After the 3rd round of vaccines how much should i wait to take my puppy outdoors? Thank you
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Usually it is best to wait at least 1 month after the last set of vaccines as that is how long the immune system can take to mount the desired immune response to the vaccine. Good luck and have a good night!

Can I put my 10 week old puppy on a leash and have him potty outside in an apartment complex when he hasn’t had his third set of vaccines?
Thank you for contacting Boop by Petco with your question about Odysseus. He will only be old enough to have had one or two sets of vaccines at 10 weeks of age. If you take him to the same spot every time and make sure there are no unvaccinated dogs around, it should be ok. I hope this helps!

My pit is 7 weeks old I took him for his first shots 4 days ago I been taking him for a walk to the corner and back since then did I make a mistake
Thank you for using Boop by Petco and congratulations on your new puppy! Unfortunately, Maximus is not fully vaccinated at this point, so he should not be going outside. Depending on your state, he can be fully vaccinated by 12 or 16 weeks. If this was his first round of shots, he will need a booster in 2-4 weeks and then his Rabies vaccine at 12-16 weeks as well as his last booster. Maximus should have minimal contact with other dogs (even where other dogs have gone to the bathroom) as you can’t be sure they are not carrying any of the viruses that Maximus is not vaccinated for that can make him very sick. I know it is difficult to keep a large active puppy inside, but your vet can work with you to have Maximus fully vaccinated in a reasonable amount of time.

Aika is 8 weeks old and she hasn't got her first vaccinations yet. I wanted to take her outside in my garden for her to do her needs but I don't know if that could get her any parasites from the grass or do any harm. Should I take her outside in my g
It's fine to take her to your back garden only before she is vaccinated, as long as there is no access to other dogs in your garden. she can catch fleas so i would recommend treating her for fleas regularly once she starts to go out.

My puppy just got his first shots 9 days ago, is it okay to take him outside in a very low traffic area to use the bathroom? I wouldn’t be walking him, just taking him to try and get him used to the idea at least of using the bathroom outside.
It depends on your area. I do recommend outside training with dogs that were vaccinated once. Although, still caution people because the puppies are not fully vaccinated. Make sure he does not come into contact with other dogs unless you know the people and their dogs are healthy and up to date on vaccinations. I would also recommend wiping his paws off when he comes in from outside. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

I bought a female toy poodle from a local breeder. The poodle is 7 weeks old. Breeder told me I should not put her on the ground. I have never had small breed dog only large dogs. What do I need to do, I have to put on the ground to let her relieve h
The very real risk of putting her on the ground (public sidewalk, dog park, even petstore floor) is that she could contract a disease called parvovirus which is shed in the feces of infected dogs. If she walks over parvovirus particles (where other owners scooped up infected feces), and licks her paws, she could contract parvovirus which usually results in serve life threatening diarrhea and dehydration and requires expensive overnight care at an emergency hospital often lasting several days. Puppies are usually vaccinated against distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, and parainfluenza virus at 8 weeks, again at 12 weeks and again at 14 weeks with the last booster at 14 + weeks of age in order for immunity to be effective for a full year. (Other vaccines include Bordatella at 8+ weeks of age, Rabies at 12+ weeks of age, lepto and Lyme at 12+ weeks of age -lepto and Lyme each need to be boosted 3-4 weeks after the initial dose to provide a year's worth of immunity and are often not given i

Can i take my puppy out with me to errands she is 10 weeks and has two sets of shots already!
I prefer she not be around other dogs until she’s 14 weeks old and has finished her vaccinations. You certainly can take her out and about as long as you minimize her contact with other dogs. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Mia.

I'm a new own of a puppy cavapoo who is 9 wks tomorrow (14 june). She had her first set of vaccines on 5 june. Her breeder said its fine for her to go in my garden. I have done so as she is actually very good toileting outside. Now I'm sick with worr
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! She should be fine going out in your yard. There is a fine line between socialization, house training and exposing the puppy to infectious disease. Most of the worrisome disease are from direct dog to dog contact from sneezing/coughing or fecal-oral. I think your yard is fine. I do not recommend contact with other puppies or dogs are not vaccinated. Keep her up to date on her DHPP by getting it every 3-4 weeks until she receives 2 past 12 weeks of age. I wish you the best!

We will be getting our new up in 2 days. Just a few days shy of 8 weeks old. At this age, I understand taking them out for potty every few hours. But how important is taking them out for a walk at this age vs play at home or at backyard?
Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Great question. It would actually be best to keep your pup in the backyard or inside until after he receives the first 2 sets of vaccines. This is to protect him against diseases he could potentially get from not being vaccinated. For this time period, you could play with him in the backyard for example. Good luck and have a good night!

How long do we wait to expose our puppy to other dogs/people after he gets his booster shots?
Vaccines take a little while to take full effect as the immune system must recognise and then produce protection against the specific illnesses vaccinated against. As the final booster is a top up to earlier injections, I usually recommend 5-7days before walking in parks/open places and preferably 10-14 days before boarding/kennelling in puppies. Annual/boosters in older adults do not require such a wait unless they had lapsed significantly
