[Dexter1011]

Hi I have just come back from the vets where Dexter had his first vaccination. Our next door neighbours have a puppy a week older than Dexter (Dexter is 8 weeks today) the vet said it would be o.k. for them to meet infact he said it would be good for them to socialise with each other. My neighbour said that she thought Dexter would have to wait until after his 2nd lot of vaccinations at 12weeks. Can anybody tell me what is the right thing to do as I have no idea. Thanks for any advice.

If the other pup has had it's first vacc and is seemingly healthy, i would let them mix. Make sure you do it in the house or garden though and not in a public place.

they should be fine to mix in the house or garden. get photos of threm together what is the other puppy?

Why do you have to wait until 12wks for his 2nd jabs? I thought it was only 2 weeks later for 2nd lot?

some vaccine brands have to be given later, most are 8+10 weeks but some you have to wait until 12 weeks

Does anyone know how long you have to wait after the first jab for the second when 'Nobivac' is used?

Hi sorry you are right that's what happens when you type with a puppy nibbling your toes. He will have his 2nd jab at 10 weeks not 12 weeks and then not go out until another 10 days after this.

nobivac is at least 2 weeks after 1st vacc or 10 weeks old at the earliest. Nobivac can also be given from 6 weeks old (but 2nd vacc still can't be given until 10 weeks)

Ooh 10 weeks (+ the 10 days or so after) I'm just trying to work out whether we'll be able to go to the Surrey meet at Virginia Water on 9th Oct!!
We might just get in there!!
Thank you!!

even if he isn't quite ready to go on the floor, he could always be carried around for the day........ as long as you don't let him meet other dogs he should be fine.
