Answer

Yes you can.

Avoid intimate contact with the animal ie., don't let the puppy kiss and lick you.

Assuming the puppy has been dewormed for a second time, a good perventive that there will be no 3rd occurance is to alway's clean up the doggie do,do!! When on walks with your puppy never let puppy sniff or eat other animals do,do!!

- Never let puppy drink any water but his own!

Alway's provide clean bedding and a clean environment for you puppy.
