Going to school with pup

Speedy2662 · 11-03-2012, 05:37 PM

Hi! My mum wants to take my pup to pick me up from school everyday.
The thing is, is it safe to do so before he gets his vaccinations? I mean, I bet there were dogs walking around the school which possibly weren't vaccinated.
But it rains a lot here in Scotland, like everyday, so stuff would probably be washed down....
Would that be safe or not?

Most pups start getting shots at 6 and 8 weeks, so as long as he's had some and you keep up on them at the appropriate time, he should be fine.

you can take him. Just don't put him down on the ground. Rain does not wash away germs. Some can live in the soil for up to a year.

Let people pet him, get some early socialization in.

So just basically keep him in the cardboard box while outside?
