Hi Guys,
Maybe I am letting impatience get the better of me, but I am desperate to let Baxter out with Basil, and I am looking for some practical advice. I suspect "better safe than sorry" is the best policy, but I feel I should ask anyway
Baxter, had his FIRST vaccination the week before we collected him. So his first vaccination, roughly a month ago.
We were told by the breeder to take the vaccination card to the vet, in a weeks time, for the 2nd part. We did, and the vet decided the puppy was too small to be vaccinated and told us to "come back in a week". At this point, he "started the whole process again", so he got his 2nd vaccination on Monday, only a few days ago.
He is going to get his THIRD vaccination on Monday 18th, and then, a week later, we can take him out.
I am worried that he is missing out on vital puppy time and socialising time, as a result.
I have access to a private park in city centre EDI, it costs hundreds of pounds per year to access, and is under lock and key. It is popular with dog walkers, I often see one or two people with a dog on any given day.
In short, Baxter had his first vaccination at 8/9ish weeks old, his 2nd at 12 weeks old, and his 3rd, will be when he is approx 14 weeks old.
So in short, safe or not to take him to a private park?
Please bear in mind that Basil has been out and about and mixing with Baxter since day one.
Gary.
