[quote=Anonymous]The one you really need to worry about - parvovirus - can live on the ground for a while so you don't want to let your puppy walk anywhere that has a lot of dogs of unknown vaccination status. The pet store and dog parks are definitely out, and I would also avoid parks that get a lot of dogs visiting from different areas like the National Mall or Roosevelt Island. That said, it's definitely important to socialize your dog early and often. Your own street is probably reasonably safe if you live in an area where people take care of their pets. In my neighborhood the biggest risk would come from another very recently adopted dog who might be carrying parvo. The resident dogs are all vaccinated. Talk to your vet if you aren't sure about what would be a reasonable level of risk to accept to socialize your puppy. Good luck![/quote]
