My pup with healthy dog

Hi All,

I'm just wondering if my 7 week old pup will be ok after playing with an uncles 2 year old Border Terrier.

My pup has had his first vaccination a week ago and has been wormed up to date.

The border terrier is fully vaccinated and wormed religiously.

They are playing really well at work, so not where any other dogs go.

Can I assume he will be fine?

Thanks, Kevin

Yes. At 7 weeks a puppy needs to be in its home learning to live in a human world. Delaying it risks not adapting well. It is particularly important they are exposed to a wide number of different people before they are 12 weeks old.

However, they do need continuing time with other dogs. Even if vaccinations take, it takes 2 weeks to build immunity. So your uncle's dog sounds like a good one for him to spend time with. Avoid ones you can't be sure of and even places they have eliminated.
