Hello all,
Puppy will be coming home in about a month and I have some concerns on socializing and vaccinations, etc. The breeder is doing a wonderful job right now but I know this pandemic and our stay at home order is going to create some obstacles.
I need to start calling vets and see if they are going to be open for routine care. I read a thread here and someone said their vet isn’t doing routine care at this time. I hadn’t considered that.
The puppy is a service dog prospect so socializing is a high priority. I know I can play YouTube videos for a variety of sounds and things of that nature but what do I do as far as people and things?
Can I please have some tips and advice?
Edit to answer vital questions: this is a standard poodle puppy, my first puppy. I live in a semi small city in between two large metros.
