Can my vaccinated dog catch diseases from unvaccinated dogs?

It is best not to untilmbis shots are current. The other dogs being vaccinated simply protects them, it does not protect yours. They can still be exposed or carriers for disease without being affected themselves

Yes, as long as the other dog is fully vaccinated this should not be a problem. If the other dog is around dog parks or goes to boarding facilities, then I would try and distance the two dogs while they are in the same household. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.

As long as Dallas is healthy, it should be fine for Phoenix and Dallas to interact with supervision. Try to avoid or limit any time the puppy spends outside, and do not go to dog parks or pet stores with him until he has received several sets of vaccines. Phoenix is a cutie! Good luck with puppyhood and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Generally speaking people are ok to touch your pet. The spread of viruses via fomites (articles of clothing or inanimate objects) is very low risk and rare. Generally direct contact with another sick pet, aerosolized exposure, or contact with infected feces is needed to pose any serious risk to Xander.

Hello and welcome to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The unvaccinated Puppy will be at risk of contracting viruses from the environment that the litter-mates will be protected from, not at risk of getting the virus from the other puppies. If the environment is clean and free from viruses, and no exposure to unvaccinated animals occurs, then Junior should be ok. I recommend getting him vaccinated ASAP. At 8 weeks though he should still have some immunity from his mom if she was vaccinated. Best of luck with Junior!

It is possible, although rare, for people to bring infectious agents into a home on shoes, clothes etc which a pup is not fully protected against until after the course has been completed and onset of immunity is generally a week or so after full vaccination. Similar to newborn children, general precautions of clean clothes and shoe, washing hands and avoiding contact with any owners of pets who have recently been unwell would be sensible. Do not take puppy to public areas or parks or mix with any dogs which are not fully vaccinated with up to date boosters.

The breeder is correct that Edith should avoid contact with other dogs if you do not know their vaccination status, but she can have contact with dogs who are fully vaccinated. Parvovirus can be carried a person's shoes and clothes, which is why the breeder implied avoiding contact with people who have dogs. That being said, as long as the dogs at the home where your father is staying are fully vaccinated, there is no problem with him coming to see you :-)
