[Dylansmum]

My vet advised me to restrict his use of the garden if possible eg to the area closest to the house, but we do have foxes living next door who are often in our garden. Fortunately we have a large patio then steps to the rest of the garden and when Dylan was little he didn't attempt to go down the steps so that worked fine for us. Also, the breeder had given the first vaccination so I didn't have to wait for long. But I agree with you that it's overkill - I guess the vets just want to cover their butts. I wouldn't worry as long as you're with him and keeping an eye out for any neighbourhood cats' poo that may have been deposited.
