When you have a bitch with pups at home, but you take another dog out somewhere where it comes into contact with other dogs, I was just wondering what precautions (if any) you take or what you do on returning home?  (Those of you who do this.)  For eg - taking another dog in the household to shows, to training classes or even just letting another dog in the household have a play with other another dog it meets on walks.

I was thinking of a light mist and wipe down with a dog-friendly disinfectant (like Safe4Dogs), and a paw-dip tray before the dog comes into the house.  Is this enough?  Too much?  What do others do?  Thanks.

I only took other ones to parents but they have foxes about.  I treated others like i did my girl wiping them down when we got home, she got wiped every time she went outside.

I didn't do any shows but the general rule is, change your clothes when you get home and disinfect as usual.  i had another dog round before pups were walking, they got the treatment as well. 

As above full change of clothing, use a parvocide disinfectant on everything from dogs feet to door mats to floors to making up spray bottles. I always have a large bottle of the stuff whenever I have pups. :-)

Great, thanks - the Safe4Dogs stuff is a parvocide and also kills all sorts of other stuff too.  (It is like Virkon.)  I plan on getting a giant tub of it and spray bottles and having a paw-dipping and shoe-sole dipping tray too.

I just avoided too much contact with the other dogs, then wiped down and changed clothes like others have said.
