Hi
I've been reading all the discussions on socialising and how it's important before 12 weeks. Going for "carries" around the block and meeting as many people, animals, new experiences etc.. I'm getting my puppy in the middle of July and I'd like to take her to visit my mum, however, mum has a cat who although vaccinated likes to go out catching mice small birds etc in the allotments behind the house (probably home to a few rats as well)....(the allotment that is not my mums house of course)!
Anyway, what I want to ask is can other animals carry diseases even if they are immune to them themselves? and so will I be best to wait until after the puppy's vaccination program is complete before visiting my mum?
