of two injections which can start from six weeks of age. We normally give the second vaccination four weeks later. We advise that <b>your puppy is not allowed out until after the second vaccination<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_can_I_take_my_puppy_outside_after_vaccinations\"><\/span>When can I take my puppy outside after vaccinations?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The short answer is, after their final rounds of vaccines are completed, at <b>about 16 weeks of age or whenever your pup&#8217;s veterinarian suggests. Once the vaccine regimen is complete, your puppy should be ready for adventures in the great outdoors and ready to socialize with other dogs safely. Great!<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_take_my_8_week_old_puppy_outside\"><\/span>Can I take my 8 week old puppy outside?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How long do I wait before taking my puppy outside? Vets recommend waiting until <b>10-14 days after your puppy&#8217;s last vaccination booster  usually at around 1416 weeks of age  before introducing them to the wonders of local parks, beaches and walking trails. Don&#8217;t resist this time in your puppy&#8217;s life  embrace it!<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_take_my_puppy_for_a_walk_after_first_vaccination_UK\"><\/span>Can I take my puppy for a walk after first vaccination UK?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>You should only take your puppy out for walks once they are fully vaccinated and your vet has given you the go-ahead. Before your dog has had its jabs, you can keep them mentally stimulated in the home by playing games with them, such as tug of war and fetch.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_u_take_a_puppy_out_after_first_vaccination\"><\/span>Can u take a puppy out after first vaccination?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When can I take my puppy out? <b>You can start taking your dog out after their first set of puppy injections but be careful where you go.

Technically, <b>you should wait at least 5-7 days after the last round of vaccinations before allowing your puppy to go out into public so they won&#8217;t contract serious diseases like distemper or parvovirus.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_walk_my_puppy_after_2nd_vaccination\"><\/span>Can I walk my puppy after 2nd vaccination?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Five to seven days after vaccination round two, your puppy is ready to go for their first walk. While they are now much more resilient than they were just a few weeks ago, it&#8217;s still important to continue to avoid things that could make them sick. On walks, keep to paved surfaces like sidewalks and parking lots.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_can_unvaccinated_puppies_go_outside\"><\/span>When can unvaccinated puppies go outside?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Socialising Your Unvaccinated Puppy Outside This is all part of the important phase of puppy socialisation and habituation skills that puppies require <b>between the ages of 3-15 weeks.

Aside from short potty breaks, <b>avoid setting your puppy on the ground in your backyard or outside your home until they are about 16 weeks old.

This is also the crucial period of puppy socialization. <b>If you receive your puppy at 8 weeks, you can safely take him outside, but with precautions. You should take your puppy outside to use the bathroom and start activities in the home.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_take_my_puppy_outside_to_pee_before_vaccinations\"><\/span>Can I take my puppy outside to pee before vaccinations?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>What can you do? <b>Avoid the yard until your puppy has been vaccinated.
