At Dogtopia of Saint Paul, we welcome puppies starting at 12 weeks old<\/strong>, once they\u2019ve received their core vaccinations. Most vets recommend the following before starting daycare:<\/p>\n Bordetella (kennel cough)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvo, Parainfluenza)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Rabies<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Once your puppy is cleared by your vet, they\u2019re ready to begin building confidence, making friends, and learning valuable social skills in a safe, structured setting.<\/p>\n Not all doggy daycares<\/em> are created equal\u2014and we\u2019ve built ours with puppies<\/em> in mind.
