If you are lucky enough to have your own garden, it’s perfectly safe to take your puppy out there to do their business. It’s generally recommended that you wait until your puppy has immunity provided by their second set of vaccinations, before they mix with other dogs or play anywhere where other dogs might have been. When they have only had their first set of vaccinations, they can still be vulnerable to illness and disease, some of which can be very serious. It’s important your puppy does not spend time in areas with many dogs or spots that are frequently used by dogs for urination, until they have full protection from both their sets of vaccinations. If you don’t live somewhere with private outside space, it’s best to rely on puppy pads until your furry friend has full protection from their second set of vaccinations.

Puppies require a vaccination course of two injections which can start from six weeks of age. We normally give the second vaccination four weeks later. 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’s and family’s dogs within their own gardens. If you are thinking of attending a puppy party to get your dog socialised with other dogs, this can be done after first vaccination, provided that all puppies are vaccinated to this level.

If your garden is safe and secure from other dogs or animals, you may be able to allow your puppy out into the garden as soon as you take your bundle of joy home. If you know that foxes or other animals are frequently in your garden, it may be best to wait until after their vaccinations. If you have a clean, secure, and enclosed garden, your vet may say that your pup can go out to play in the garden straight away. It’s important to limit contact with other dogs or animals like foxes – so if your garden gets unwanted visitors, it may be best to wait. Seek your vet’s advice or wait until after their vaccinations have kicked in. Make sure to puppy -proof your garden before allowing them outside. You must also keep a close eye on your playful pup and watch they don’t get too excited and get into mischief. Every pup is different though, so your vet will be able to give you their recommendation.
