When can puppy go out in public?

Q: I have a 9 week old puppy, do I need to wait till all vacinnes are done before taking her out in public? For example walking on side walk to go to bathroom.

A: It is best to avoid areas frequented by other dogs until your puppies vaccines are completed. The biggest threat is canine parvovirus which can survive in the environment for up to a year and can cause serious illness or death.
