🐾 Puppy Safety PSA – The First 16 Weeks Matter 🐾

Bringing home a new puppy is exciting — and those first weeks are so important!
Even though your puppy has started vaccines, their immune system is still developing until their final puppy shots (around 16 weeks of age).

Most serious puppy illnesses happen after puppies go home, simply from early exposure and stress.

Please avoid until vaccines are complete:
❌ Pet stores
❌ Dog parks & public parks
❌ Vet office floors (carry puppy in & out)
❌ Rest stops & sidewalks
❌ Playdates with unknown or unvaccinated dogs

🦠 Viruses like parvo can live in soil and on surfaces for months or years— even when you can’t see them.

Safe socialization DOES still happen!
✔ Visiting trusted friends’ homes
✔ Meeting fully vaccinated, healthy adult dogs
✔ Car rides, strollers, wagons, or being carried in public
✔ New sounds, surfaces, and handling at home

Go-home transition tips:
• Keep puppy on the same food for at least 2 weeks
• Avoid sudden diet changes
• Limit visitors the first few days
• Keep routines calm and predictable
• Consider a canine probiotic to support gut health during this transition

💡 Stress alone can cause loose stools, appetite changes, and immune dips in young puppies.

Important reminder:
Early vaccines help build immunity — they don’t fully protect yet.

👉 When in doubt:
If unknown dogs have been there, your puppy shouldn’t be.

A few weeks of caution helps protect a lifetime of health ❤️
