Dogs cannot go out after being vaccinated, because during the vaccination period or just after the vaccination, the dog's physique and resistance are relatively weak. If they go out at this time, they are easily infected with diseases. Generally, it takes about two weeks for dogs to develop antibodies after being vaccinated, so it is recommended that owners take their dogs out 2 weeks after they are vaccinated.

How soon can a dog go out after being vaccinated?

If the puppy is vaccinated for the first time, it needs to wait for all the vaccines to be completed and then go to the hospital for testing in two weeks. If the antibody is qualified, you can take it out. If the antibody is not qualified, you should listen to the doctor's advice and get vaccinated. If the dog is vaccinated annually, it only takes a week before it can be taken out to play.

What should you pay attention to after the dog is vaccinated?

1. After the dog is vaccinated, the dog should be observed for about 20 minutes to avoid allergies.

2. For the sake of the dog’s health, it is best not to bathe the dog, nor to change the dog’s food or environment casually. It is best to take the dog out to play one week after the vaccination is completed.

3. Dogs cannot be given anthelmintic drugs or antibiotics within three days after the dog is vaccinated. If these drugs are taken, the vaccine may not be able to work better and eventually lead to failure.
