yes because the injections stop it from getting deseases
The best way to introduce a new puppy to an older house cat is to hold the cat while the puppy checks it out.
I was wondering that myself a couple of weeks ago, as i am soon getting a new puppy. After research and questioning my local vet, i found that it is fine for an 11 week old puppy to go in the garden before his injections. This is because your puppy will only be at harm before injections if there is an un-sterilysed dog around. Hope i helped!
The simple answer is you keep them separated when you are not there. Introduce them when you are and teach the dog to accept the puppy.
you go to the pound and buy a girl or boy dog to mate with your first dog
You must go by the weight of the puppy to determine how much is given. Probably less than half of a cc.
If you are talking about training a hunting dog, the puppy should be exposed to the smells, sights and sounds of guns and their accessories throughout their puppyhood - six to eight weeks old is fine for starting to introduce the dog gradually to the sport. If you are talking about a puppy's first vaccination, veterinarians in the United States typically recommend the first vaccine be given when the puppy is approximately 8 weeks old.
my dog just laid around for about a day or two but after that he was back to normal
it is best to introduce them when the dog is a puppy, let them stay in the same area; this (in time) should get your dog used to cats =]

If you have a male dog and your bringing another male dog dont introduce them on your yard. Your first male will try to defend his territory and could end up getting in a fight with the other one. Introduce them somewhere else so they are not on either ones territory, if you do this it is less likely they will be aggressive toward each other. If you are bringing a little puppy than your other male dog wont see the puppy as a threat. It worked with my dogs.
It's never too early for leash training, but don't plan a long trip the first time out. Puppy will likely be too busy being fascinated by every new thing he sees to be able to cover much ground.
Usually kittens will get on better when introduced with a new puppy than a mature cat, but if this happens its easiest to give the cat and dog their separate spaces and let the cat decide when it wants to meet the puppy, or at the very least just tolerate it.Added: Because the cat was there first you must establish the role of the puppy. To the cat the puppy is low, and depending on your relationship with the cat, either you or the cat follow. Always show the cat FIRST affection. That is when the puppy and cat are in the same room, coo and pat the cat first then the puppy. Ignore if the puppy tries for your affection. A puppy right now wont understand exactly but the cat does. in time the puppy will realise the cat gets first priority, this makes the cat happy and also understand that you have accepted the puppy into your group. In time the cat should too. If the cat hisses at the puppy don't punish the cat and don't grab for the puppy, this is seen as you defending the puppy and the sudden movement of the puppy may cause the cat to react aggressively. if the cat swipes the puppy, again do not interfere. The cat is showing the puppy the ranks. Animals will not normally harm extensively a baby animal being introduced to the famil group. As an owner of 8 cats and having to introduce one puppy and 1 yearling dog to them, I have watched first hand the reactions cats make. The biggest order of business to them is: Rank.
