I got upset though when the vet tech put one of my pups on the floor before putting him in the cage. Therefore, I as well have the concern of parvo vs socialization. I take them with my hubby on car rides in the week end. I do not have a car therefore, I can only take them out when he is off work which is late evening when all stores are closed. I live in the country and just moved and do not know anyone.It is tough. All they have socialized so far is at the vet's office, one day at Petsmart, with my two kitties and to car rides to get gasoline. I am concerned this is truely not enough.
No this is not enough.
You also have two puppies, the problem is when left together...they will bond to one another. You should be separating them, and only having them together for short times during the day. You should be doing everything separate with them...training, walking, playing,etc.
How many vaccinations have they had? After the second set....you should be doing much more with them...and start looking for a Puppy K class to get enrolled in.
