Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While I am sure you may be able to find a groomer that does not require proof of vaccinations, I highly recommend you vaccinate Nina. The fact that she has been ok so far does not mean that that will continue to be the case. Vaccines are inexpensive, well tolerated and can really prevent a dog from catching a severe, preventable disease. Good luck and have a great day!
