When is it safe for my new puppy to go for walks after vaccinations?

Question

Hello! I have a sweet 14-week old golden retriever puppy. My question is when it’s safe to take him out for a walk. He got his first vaccination at 6 weeks, second at 9 weeks, and third one at 13 weeks. He will still be getting one more at 16 weeks since our vet thought the one at 6 weeks might’ve not been effective due to mom’s milk/immunity. It’s been a week since his 3rd vaccination technically - is it safe to take him for a walk yet? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 7 days old | 28 lbs

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.
