Socialization of puppies is vital to their health and well-being and can help prevent behavior problems later in life that may endanger the bond between owner and pet. The socialization window for puppies ends at ≈14 weeks of age. Although this important developmental stage is critical to establishing appropriate social behaviors, it is also a period of increased disease risk. To offset that risk, early veterinary care and disease prevention, including vaccination, deworming, and monthly parasiticides, should be discussed with every puppy owner. 

Veterinarians can help owners enhance their puppy’s socialization period for the best possible behavior outcome by:
