What vaccines does my new rescued dog need for Petco grooming?

It depends on which vaccines he needs. Core vaccines are rabies and a distemper/parvo combo vaccine. Most grooming shops require Bordatella (kennel cough) as well. Some shops require Canine Influenza as well. You can find pricing for Petco/Vetco vaccine clinics below. If you go to a veterinary clinic, call ahead for pricing or request an estimate when you arrive. https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/vaccination-packages-and-prices/

Hello. At the very least, Egypt will need to have a rabies vaccination 24-48 hours before allowed in for grooming. Since she is still young, I would also recommend she receive a distemper combination vaccination & be vaccinated against Bordatella, also known as kennel cough. Grooming costs vary from place to place, so it is best to call wherever you decide you want to have her groomed to discuss all options & services available. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Yes they will give all the vaccinations he needs at PetCo. He will need two more sets of booster shots to be fully protected. They will give you a schedule for his booster vaccinations and discuss flea, tick and heartworm products if they are recommended in your area. You can also get a microchip at PetCo. As far as the papers to show his breed ask your friend if they have some from the breeder. You don’t need any papers though to get him examined and vaccinated.

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I recommend contacting a local veterinarian in your area to have Venom seen for a "new puppy" appointment. At this appointment, the veterinarian will perform an exam, and can make recommendations for first vaccines, flea, tick and heartworm preventatives, as well as appropriate diet and socialization. Dogs require both "distemper" (DAPP) vaccines as well as rabies vaccines. These are the two core vaccines for dogs. These need to be boostered (given again) in 3-4 weeks following the first shot. There are other vaccines such as lyme and leptospirosis that can be considered depending on Venom's potential exposure. I hope this is helpful!

The first thing you need to do is to take him to a veterinarian for an exam to make sure he is healthy, He can then be vaccinated and wormed. Check for fleas or have the vet check for fleas and get some flea medication/prevention. It also is a good idea to ask your veterinarian about a heart worm test and heart worm preventatives, Depending on the condition of his fur, whether it is very matted or just long, clean or dirty, he likely needs a bath with dog shampoo, and then you can take him to a groomer to be groomed or shaved.

Thanks for visting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Coco is considered to be fully vaccinated 7 days after her 3rd round of vaccines, which is between 14-16 weeks of age. She currently isn't fully vaccinated, so it is best to wait a bit if possible. I would recommend doing puppy wipes or waterless shampoo until then, if you are not too keen on doing a full on bath right now. This can at least get some of the puppy dirt off until she is ideal age for a grooming appt. Another alternative is to have a mobile groomer do her bath or discuss with the grooming facility to see if they take any extra precautions for puppies that aren't fully vaccinated. Some facilities can help accomodate for these types of situations, so it never hurts to ask. I hope that this was helpful. Best wishes with your pet Coco moving forward. Take care!
