Unfortunately, this is simply one of those decisions that must be made based on your own individual situation. A salon such as
my own that grooms strictly by appointment can accommodate these situations rather easily and thus we encourage pups as
young as 6-8 weeks…once the owner has them health checked, not necessarily vaccinated.
However, salons with multiple drop-offs, doggie daycare, boarding, or any other pet services must determine at what point they
feel the pup has enough immunity to be in the company of others. Do your research and keep in mind that it’s not the number of
vaccinations that protect the pup, it’s the amount of immunity within the body.
If you thought the NAPCG was only about creative grooming,
you couldn’t be more wrong!
