Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / December 20048 week old Staffoldshire Bull Terrier
Our puppy was vaccinated at 6 weeks. We are hoping to visit grandparents for Christmas who have two Staffordshire Bull Terriers, one 4 years old and one 1 year old. They have both had booster injections. Is it safe for us to visit with our new puppy? Regards Jackie > Our puppy was vaccinated at 6 weeks.

The vaccines are thought to take three weeks to a month to provide some level of immunity, and then there's always maternal antibodies that lessen thier effectiveness to consider (that's why you booster them). Then you'd have to consider the health of the dogs you are exposing your puppy to, both from the infecting and getting infected standpoint, as disease or parasites can just as easily go from puppy to older dog. If you want the safest option, the answer is probably not. |
