Puppies should not be allowed to play with house cats without being fully vaccinated. Unvaccinated puppies are at risk of serious diseases such as parvovirus, distemper, and hepatitis, which can be fatal and can spread to other animals, including cats.
Fully vaccinating your puppy is the best protection. Vaccination schedules vary, so consult your veterinarian for the best plan.
Additional Protection Tips:
- Avoid contact with unvaccinated animals.
- Keep your puppy away from areas with heavy animal feces.
- Wash your hands after handling your puppy and before handling other animals.
Following these steps helps keep your puppy safe and healthy.
