A puppy should be over 10 weeks and should have received his second shot seven days beforehand to be able to safely go for a walk.
The dog will need to be fully vaccinated before he can be in touch with the outside world as he will be highly susceptible to illness if he has not been vaccinated.
If he is any younger than this and has not received his shots you can carry him outside to get a feel for the noises and sights but do not let him run free as he may come in contact with something nasty.
Dogs generally receive their first shots at eight weeks and their second shot at 10 weeks and then are able to fully function outside seven days after the second shot.
Puppies are at risk of numerous illnesses if they are allowed out before this. Dogs should always be taken out on a leash during this time as it will prevent them going places they shouldn’t. Even in the back garden this should be the case. They should also be well fenced in.
The shots the dog gets include for the following:
•Distemper
•Canine adenovirus
•Parvo
•Rabies
•Kennel Cough
•Coronavirus
Puppy vaccines are very safe, low dosage vaccines that the puppy should have minimum side effects from. The most severe is a breathing problem called anaphylaxis. If this is the case it should be brought immediately to the vet. The risks of not getting vaccinated greatly outnumber any slight possible risks from vaccination.
Like children and adults puppies are very susceptible to disease due to weak immune systems. These vaccinations and keeping the puppy in doors should prevent any mishaps or illnesses for the puppy in the short and long term
