Lets Talk FACTS! 👏
Parvo is horrible! Agree! ✅ But so is a fearful, anxious, aggressive or unsocialised adult dog!
Fact - more dogs are euthanised from behavioural issues then Parvo disease 🥲
Fact - Safe puppy socialization is essential for your puppy’s development and helps them grow into a well-adjusted, confident adult dog. 🐶
At the same time, for puppies who haven’t completed their vaccinations, there’s a valid concern about exposure to parvovirus (parvo), a highly contagious and potentially deadly disease. 🦠
Why Socialization is Still Important 🤔
During their critical socialization period (about 3-16 weeks), puppies are highly impressionable. Positive experiences with other dogs, people, sounds, and environments help prevent fear-based behavioral problems later on. Finding ways to safely introduce your puppy to the world can make a big difference in their lifelong confidence and comfort.
Here’s how to balance these needs safely:
✅ Socialize in Controlled Environments
Limit exposure to areas where unvaccinated or unknown dogs might have been. Avoid public parks, pet stores, and other high-traffic areas for dogs until your puppy has completed their vaccinations.
✅ Meet Known, Vaccinated Dogs in a safe environment (eg your backyard)
✅ Carry Your Puppy in Public!
✅ Puppy Classes in Clean Facilities! Like ours! 👏
✅ Focus on Environmental Socialization
At home or in your backyard, introduce your puppy to different experiences like household sounds (vacuum cleaner, dishwasher), new objects (hats, umbrellas), and people wearing different attire. These exposures build confidence and resilience to novelty in a low-risk setting.
✅ Keep Vaccinations Up-to-Date
Puppies need a series of vaccinations, starting as early as six to eight weeks, to build immunity. Stay on top of their schedule, as each dose increases their level of protection against parvo and other diseases.
By combining these strategies, you can keep
