attention. Remember, without shots, there will be no protection in place, so the sooner your dog is seen, the better.<\/p>\n<p>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/animalshelterz.com\/what-is-the-best-vaccine-schedule-for-a-puppy\/\">What is the best vaccine schedule for a puppy?<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"is-it-ok-to-not-vaccinate-my-dog\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_it_OK_to_not_vaccinate_my_dog\"><\/span>Is it OK to not vaccinate my dog?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>However, recent research indicates that not all vaccines require yearly boosters. There is no evidence that annual booster vaccination is anything but beneficial to the majority of dogs.

Q) When can my puppy first go outside (other than in the garden)? A) 10 days after their first vaccination puppies can go out on clean pavements (not verges or other paths) but they must avoid unknown dogs or dog faeces.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"can-8-week-old-puppy-go-out-in-my-garden\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_8_week_old_puppy_go_out_in_my_garden\"><\/span>Can 8 week old puppy go out in my garden?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>We advise that your puppy is not allowed out until after the second vaccination. However, you puppy may go out in your own garden for toilet training and can mix with other healthy, fully vaccinated friend\u2019s and family\u2019s dogs within their own gardens.\u00a0 Annual vaccinations are required to maintain immunity for your dog.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RLWRP-mcukg\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<p><noscript><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XeHJNyLfD4E\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"what-happens-if-dog-is-not-vaccinated\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_happens_if_dog_is_not_vaccinated\"><\/span>What happens if dog is not vaccinated?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Puppies, adolescent dogs, and adult dogs who are not vaccinated are at risk of contracting the virus.
