When Can Puppies Go Outside In My Yard

I hope you ll keep reading because in some cases this may not be the best advice for your puppy.

When can puppies go outside in my yard. Just like human babies young puppies need a lot of sleep. If you don t have a fenced in yard go outside and do a quick check to make sure there aren t any other animals outside such as a neighbor s dog and that there are no other animal feces. This development usually begins when your puppy is about 3 4 weeks old and it may go on until the newborn puppies are about 8 weeks or so. When deciding on the right time to take your puppy outside it is helpful to include some knowledge about how vaccines work in your decision making process.

And it could impact the rest of their lives. Puppies typically receive multiple injections with the same type of vaccine starting at age 6 8 weeks. Luckily puppies can go in the backyard right away when potty training as long as it s for shorter amounts of time. The antibodies that are present in the mom s milk protect the tiny puppies while their immune system is developing.

Standard traditional advice used to be that puppies can go outside in public places when they are fully protected by their immunizations at about 16 weeks old. Now the thing is that most of the pups go to their new homes during their 7 or 8 week mark. However just because they re ready for a new home doesn t mean they re ready for everything else.
