YOUR
PUPPY AND OTHER PETS
All
contact between your new AKC Shih-tzu or Shichon
puppy and a resident pet should be 100 percent
supervised for at least the first two weeks.
Be especially
careful if your other pets are much larger than
your new AKC Shih-tzu or Shichon puppy.
One way to separate
your pets is to use child safety gates or pet
exercise pens.
A new
AKC Shih-tzu or Shichon puppy should also be
kept away from areas where non-resident pets are
(public parks, rest stops), until the puppy has
finished all of his/her puppy immunization
shots.
A puppy is not
fully immune to these deadly viruses until all
booster shots have been given.
