Can a dog bath be taken if the dog's vaccines haven't been finished?

No, a dog cannot take a bath if its vaccines haven't been completed. Bathing the dog when its vaccines are not finished can lead to catching a cold due to the wet fur not being dried properly after bathing. This can cause a decrease in immunity and resistance, coupled with insufficient antibody levels in the body, making it easier for viruses to invade the body and cause the dog to become ill. During the vaccination period, proper cleanliness and hygiene should be maintained, and the dog should not be bathed until a week after the vaccination is completed.

Can a dog go outside if the vaccines haven't been finished?

It is recommended to minimize contact with the outside world when a dog has not completed its vaccination to reduce the risk of contracting diseases. It is suggested to perform an antibody test about a week after the vaccination. If the antibody test results are satisfactory, the dog can be taken outside to interact with other dogs. If the antibody test does not meet the standards, it is recommended to give the dog an additional vaccination.

Vaccination order

When a dog receives its first vaccination, it needs to be injected with four vaccines: three doses of vaccines to prevent infectious diseases and one dose of rabies vaccine. First, inject one dose of an infectious disease vaccine when the dog is in good health. Then, inject one dose of the infectious disease vaccine every 21 days. After the third dose of the infectious disease vaccine is completed, wait for another 7 days before injecting the rabies vaccine.

Precautions for vaccination

After a dog receives its vaccination, pay attention to the following aspects:

Within one to two days after the vaccination, it may cause gastrointestinal allergies in the dog, such as diarrhea and vomiting. If such symptoms occur, it is recommended to take the dog to a pet hospital for desensitization treatment in a timely manner.
It is recommended not to bathe the dog for a week after the vaccination to avoid stimulating reactions and affecting the immune effect of the vaccine.
