When can I introduce my pup to family members dogs?

    Hi all,

    I have a 10 wk golden retriever. So far she has had her first set of shots (lepto & parvovirus I think) and is getting her second set next week. The vet said she needs another set after next week but I'm just wondering when is it safe for me to introduce her to family members dogs? I'm keen to socialise her and I feel she is getting a little bored in the back garden with only her toys & us to play with.

    Any advice?
    TIA

    If they other dogs are fully vaccinated and in full health you could start to introduce them, do so on your own property as I wouldn't bring your dog out for walks until the full vaccine course is complete, but be wary that your family members dogs could potentially be carrying or incubating an illness so keep a close eye on your pup for any signs of illness.

    OP, this brochure from Merial, one of the leading vaccination companies, has everything you need to know in it:
