What's the process to see or pick up an adopted dog at Petco?

Think Adoption First! Should the need arise, Petco will gladly assist you in finding a home, or may take back, any companion animal in good health regardless of the length of ownership, as part of our "Think Adoption First" program to find a loving home for every animal. You can find the number to your local Petco store at this [link](https://www.petco.com/locator). Check out this article for more tips on [How to Rehome Your Pet](https://www.petcoach.co/question/?id=411239).

The local Petco can likely handle both. You can use the link below to find the nearest one as well as the dates and times for a Vaccination /Microchip Clinic. If the offer grooming services, the nail trim can be done as long as Roscoe can be restrained safely. https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/

Yes you can take Lucky into Petco to have help figuring out how old he is, but you will likely have to pay a fee for it. The vet would be the best person to figure out his age, and you will need to make an appointment for it. That will be an office visit fee, but you will also get a full physical exam. The vet can advise about vaccines for Lucky as well. I hope this helps!

Yes, check with your local PetCo to get their veterinary schedule. I work at one clinic and we provide free exams and offer vaccination packages. We do deworming, microchipping and can test for feline leukemia and FIV. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Baby.

Petco requires animals in our care to meet certain vaccination requirements based on age and type of animal. All required vaccinations must be up to date. See the table below for required vaccinations. Required vaccinations for grooming: ----------------------------------- ### Dog - **Under 16 weeks:** Puppy Starter (Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Distemper). Puppies must have completed at least 2 sets of shots before being admitted into the Grooming Salon. - **16 weeks and older:** Rabies: All dogs must wait 24 hours after receiving any vaccination before being admitted into the Grooming Salon. - **New York City:** requires that every dog sheltered, maintained, harbored, fed, watered or groomed be vaccinated for rabies, distemper, hepatitis, para-influenza, and parvovirus within past three years and for Bordetella within the past six months. - Due to vaccination limitations with Wolf hybrids, these pets will not be accepted for any services/events in any Petco facility. This includes, but is not limited to, Grooming, Dog Training, Pooch, Adoption events, Veterinary Clinics, etc. ### Cat - **Under 16 weeks:** Parvovirus (Panleukopenia), Herpesvirus-1 (Viral Rhinotracheitis), Calicivirus, First Year Boosters - **16 weeks and older:** Rabies **Required Vaccinations for Dog Training:** - Under 16 weeks: puppy starter (Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Distemper) - 16 weeks and older: rabies - Note: puppies must have at least their first set of Puppy shots a minimum of two weeks prior to the start of the class. **Acceptable Proof of Vaccinations:** - Vaccination Record from the Veterinarian's office, rescue group, or breeder - Typed letter on Veterinary Clinics letterhead. Letter must state the vaccination(s) given to the pet and must be signed by the Veterinarian who administered the vaccination(s). - If the pet parent cannot provide proof of vaccinations, ask for the Veterinarian's phone number and call them while the pet parent is present and request that they fax a letter (on Veterinary Clinic's letterhead ) or a copy of the pet's medical records showing current vaccinations. - A rabies tag on the pet's collar is not acceptable proof of vaccination. - Petco does not accept for any reason any pets where the pet parent administered the rabies vaccination themselves. All vaccinations must be administered or supervised by a Veterinarian. - Proof of vaccinations is not required for use of the Self-Service Pet Wash - Petco does not require vaccinations in our Hawaii stores. The state of Hawaii does not require pets that live on the islands to be vaccinated. **Petco Vaccination Clinics** - Our vaccination clinics offer a variety of preventative care services for the health and well-being of your pet. - For more information on Vetco services available at our clinics visit their website [here](https://www.vetcoclinics.com/services-and-clinics/clinic-locations-and-schedules/).

We are a website for pet advice, so we cannot access records at Petco stores. You will need to call that Petco to see if you can get the records, but they may not release them to you because you weren't the owner when Hachi was originally brought it. Any reputable breeder would provide the papers proving that vaccines were given, and the fact that the breeder is refusing to give them to you make me suspicious he never got any vaccines. I would treat it like this second shot is his first shot, and do three total rounds of vaccines. It will not hurt him, and you don't want to take the risk that he didn't get his first shot, so only giving him two will not leave him fully vaccinated. I hope this helps!

Yes this is very important when transferring doctors. Your vet can either print the records for you to pick up or they can email them to your new clinic. Just ask the vetco you will be using which they prefer. That way the new doctor will know what to recommend for your pet at the visit. I hope this helps and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
