My vet told me that I could start taking Penny out 10 days after her second round of parvo/distemper shots, I did take her out to a lot of places before she got her second round of shots but I generally carried her, and I never put her on the ground in the petstores... I have also taken her out infront of busy strip plazas and walmart and such with lots of traffic and where I know there would have been very little if any doggie traffic so I knew it would be relatively safe for her... Its all a judgement call and there are risks associated with both actions, but I would still take your pup out but make sure she only has interactions with dogs that you know personally that have had their shots, and make sure you pick your pup up when you are somewhere you think dogs might have been like petstores and parks ect...
