Avoid high-energy activities like long walks or intense play until they feel better. After a vaccination, your puppy might need extra rest. Give them a cozy, quiet space where they can relax without interruptions. If the injection site seems sore, you can gently apply a warm compress to soothe it. For puppies that are trembling, wrapping them lightly in a blanket can provide some comfort. Just be careful not to overheat them by piling on too many layers. Monitoring your puppy after a vaccination is important. Watch for any significant changes in their behavior or physical condition.

After your puppy's vaccinations, it is common for the pooch to experience some mild side effects from the vaccine.
These might include: Discomfort Swelling Mild fever Decreased appetite Sneezing or mild coughing.
If these side effects last longer than a few days or cause your puppy significant discomfort, contact your local veterinary surgery for a puppy checkup.
Any time before two weeks puts your puppy at risk, as the dog won’t have built up any resistance or immunity to the viruses out and about in public spaces.
After the second round of puppy vaccinations, you should wait two weeks before taking your puppy outside in order to keep it protected from infectious viruses.
You can let your dog out into the garden if it has had the first round of puppy vaccinations, as diseases can still be spread in private gardens through other animals.
Remember to ensure that no unvaccinated dogs have been in the garden before you let your puppy out into it, as Canine Parvovirus can exist in soil for as long as a year.
If your puppy develops persistent vomiting or diarrhoea, bumpy and itchy skin, collapsing, or difficulty breathing, book an urgent puppy checkup with your local veterinary practice.
