    Hi,
    My sister got a pup (age 8 weeks) and I'd like to visit them. It suits me to bring my dog (age 11 years), who is great with other dogs especially tiny ones, but as the pup has not had all her vaccinations I'm unsure whether it's safe for her to be around my dog?
    Advice appreciated, thanks.

    no its not safe for her yet cos your dog could be carrying something like parvo or the like. she has to wait til she is 16 weeks afaik before she is introduced to other dogs be they yours or the neighbourhood ones, obviously 16 weeks iss the time she gets her last injection:) nothing stopping you going visiting though:)

    Its perfectly safe as long as your dog is fully vaccinated:) Plus it's great for your sisters pup to be socialised.
