I was just notified that some puppies that I photographed the other day tested positive for parvo. There is four of them, and they were surrendered when the local vet threatened to prosecute the owner for neglect. Long story short, I photographed them for their adoption shots, which means that I had to interact with them.

Now I have my own dogs, who have been vaccinated through regular health checkups, but I dont want to bring anything home. I'm sure that 99.99999999% of the time this isn't an issue, but it did raise a question in my mind.

How many of you inquire about a pets health, or require vaccination certs before you interact with them?
