Limited exposure is recommended to outside environment and people/animal contact until said puppy is fully inoculated and on a regular parasite/bacterial control program.  Below are some suggestions:

1. Visits to the vet: Never put your puppy on the floor or the ground outside of the clinic, instead carry your puppy or use a pet carrier.  Ask the vet staff to disinfect the exam table before you set your pup down for his/her exam.
