I am picking up my new puppy bailey this weekend she would be 7 weeks, how old should she be when I could take her to the beach? Pet's info: Dog | Golden Retriever | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 15 days old | 10 lbs

What a little cutie she is. I would recommend not taking Bailey out on public beaches or parks or anywhere where other dogs may be until she has received her full series of vaccines, usually completed between 16 to 20 weeks of age. Until she is fully vaccinated she'll be susceptible to parvovirus or distemper, etc. these viruses can live in the environment not just direct contact with another dog so for her protection I'd make sure she's fully vaccinated before you take her out and about to much.

Bailey is adorable! She should have at the very least her first set of vaccines and dewormer. The more boosters she has had, the better protected she will be. I do recommend having her evaluated by her veterinarian before taking her just to make sure they don't find any issues that would be contraindicated to being around other people and dogs.

Since Bailey is older than 16 weeks old, he should just need a booster vaccine now, and then one more in 3 weeks. After that, he'll be good for a year :) He should also have a rabies vaccine. I would recommend having the shots given by a veterinarian, if you can. The ones purchased over the counter for home administration are often not effective, in my experience. You also won't be able to get a vaccination certificate to prove that he's been vaccinated unless the shots are administered by a vet.
