how soon after last immunization for parvo can I take our puppy to the dog park? Thanks in advance

I would wait at least a couple weeks- ideally 4 weeks. I would also recommend the kennel cough vaccine and year round heartworm preventative.

I do not bring my dogs to dog parks - you can search on here to see some of the risks,etc.

We never took any of our pups until we are all done with shots.

I agree with not taking the pup to the dog park. But you need to get the pup out for proper socialization. Places that I take puppies: feed stores, outdoor coffee shops, my bank, hardware stores, regular parks and walking trails. Be creative but get your puppy out in the world.

All of the above information is spot on. NO dog parks for now but, you can socialize in many other situations for the time being. Hardware stores, pet shops (if kept in basket) or regular errands you might run from day to day.

Good luck to you!
