My mum takes my puppy to work everyday?

He hasn't had all of his vaccinations yet. Is it possible for him to catch any common viruses in puppies?
Answers:
She should definitely not be taking your puppy anywhere until he has had his second set of puppy shots!

Puppy shots serve to boost a young pup's immune system to give them the protection they need, and they are very susceptible to diseases before they have had all of their shots. While it's great he's getting a lot of socialization, she really should wait until the shots are finished to do it.
How old is he?? If he is under 9 weeks of age the puppies antibodies that he got from his mothers milk are still in affect and he should be fine. If he is over that he needs to be vaccinated to prevent disease. Good Luck.
Yes, if he is unvaccinated he is vulnerable to a plethora of things, has he had any vaccinations? If not, your mom should leave him at home until he does.
Yes, your pup could get parvo and die. It needs it's full series of puppy shots before socializing in public.
it sure is. you want a puppy completely vaccinated before you take him anywhere
Yes the dog should stay at home until it's had all 3 of it's puppy shots and his rabies shot. It can get very sick if it does not.
as long as your mom doesnt let him play with other dogs or place him on the floor/ground where there may have been unknown dogs, he should be fine.
If there are no puppies or other dogs at work, there isn't going to be a problem.. But as long as he is done his vaccinations, he is very likely safe anyhow.
have her get the puppies shots as soon as it is old enough.until then she should keep it home. its amazing what kinds of things even dogs who have had their shots can catch.
Yes, it is possible for him to catch an number of viruses. Please ask her to schedule the pup for vaccination.
As long as your puppy is not around other dogs that should not be a problem!!
It is good for the puppy to be around other people!! Your puppy will not get lonely.
Good Luck with your puppy!!
I have a 3 month old Lab puppy.
Yes it's possible for him to catch almost anything while he isn't vaccinated. Tell your mum to keep him at home until he has been vaccinated. He should have his vaccines at 6-8 weeks, 10-12 weeks and 14-16 weeks of age. Then again every 12 months.
Leave him at home until he has had all his shots, it's simply not worth the risk of Parvo or something like that.
