You should be sure to supervise your puppy carefully when it is around other dogs, and avoid any dogs you don’t know or know to be unvaccinated. Additionally, it’s important to wait until your puppy has finished its entire series of vaccinations before bringing it around other dogs. This will help to ensure that your puppy is fully protected and will not be at risk of becoming ill.
