Is it safe for my puppy to go outside before full vaccinations?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 20 days old | 6.6 lbs

Due to Covid 19 lockdown my puppy has not been able to have his first jabs, we have taken him out in our arms but he wants to get down. Can he go out without jabs? Or can we get them given to us to give him at home?

No, you cannot risk exposure. Vet clinics are open and they do have COVID protocols in place. I recommend to call a veterinarian and learn what your options are. It is very important to begin his vaccines and stick to the protocols. I hope this helps.
