    Hello

    With the time for brigging Balu home aproaching I have a doubt, I have to cats and a dog all of them vaccinated, but sometimes the stray cats pass by my house. With the puppy coming Should I be worried about some diseases that the stray cats could pass ti the puppy?

    Also my neighbour have a dog I supose that she is not vaccinated, we have a small wall between the houses but even with that could parvo or other diseases pass to my puppy?

    He already comes with the first vaccine and in the proper time I will take him to the vet to continue the vaccination plan, but I'm a little bit worried.

    Could someone give me an opinion?

    Cat diseases are specific to cats and will not pass to dogs. About the o my exception is mange caused by a mite which can be transferred.
    If your neighbours dog doesn't come into your garden, your pup into the neighbours garden and they are not allowed to meet and greet there shouldn't be a problem. Of course if your neighbours dog is vaccinated there is nothing to worry about so it might be worth having a chat and finding out for certain.

    They will not meet each other, the dog never go for a walk and go out of the house and nothing so they can't meet each other. We will have very caution with the dogs that the puppy will meet, specialy until he have the vaccination plan complete.

    @sabri.1996 Only let pup meet dogs that you know are friendly to puppies - you want only positive experiences for him. Also only let him meet dogs that you know are fully vaccinated; if in doubt don't allow a meeting.
