puppy in backyard
My dog got its vaccination shot 6 days ago, now my question is and the
reaosn i ask is b/c i've heard mixed answers on the same topic: i have a fenced in yard, the only poeple who go in my yard are my family members and the only dogs are our dogs, who are healthy and up to date with all shots and vaccines. Is it safe to bring my puppy in my backyard or should she be kept inside untill she has had her next shots? |

Rocky's a Dog. my vet said it was fine as long as my other two dogs were the only dogs in the area, but this other person i know freaked out when i told them i took the dog outside. i guess i should learn to trust my vet and not other people with no training.it's just i want whats best for my puppy and when someone tells me something is unsafe it gets me thinking... |

I would have no problem with giving a puppy of mine access to my yard under the conditions you cite. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

puppy in backyard
in thread news:2006090413442475249-montana@wildhackcominvalid: montana
wildhack whittled the following words: Parvo is a terrible thing and because of that, any place that you can't guarantee is Parvo free could kill your puppy. Well, Tuck's breeder just lost two puppies to parvo last week. They had never left the yard. She had not left without sterilize bleaching on return. She had allowed no one in. The house 3 doors down had a dog with parvo. The breeder has 8 foot high solid board fences. The only thing they could figure, is that parvo is airborne. it is. So although puppies MUST go out.. and there is always a risk, even a yard is not necessarily "safe" |

You may have neglected to mention that "ouside" was your safe back yard. Parvo is a terrible thing and because of that, any place that you can't guarantee is Parvo free could kill your puppy. We knew our back yard was safe, so it was ok to take the puppy out there, but I couldn't verify the front yard is ok. Trust your vet, but also ask more questions. Sometimes it's difficult to know all the questions to ask. Vets and vet techs answer all kinds of questions from new pet owners and they understand that it comes with the territory. Parvo IS a terrible disease. But it is everywhere. And poor socialization kills more dogs than parvo. So many veterinarians are beginning to revise some of their advice about taking dogs out. I know mine are. They advise people with puppies to take them to places where the chances are high that pets are vaccinated. They advise avoiding dog parks, and road side rest stops. Behavior issues are not a significant part of veterinary training, but addressing them is a life and death issue for dogs.http://www.diamondsintheruff.com/ear...alization.html http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer...ts_puppysocial -- Diane Blackman There is no moral victory in proclaiming to abhor violence while preaching with violent words. http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplayshops.com/ |
