Hi is it okay to take my puppy to the beach even though his vaccine isn't complete yet? Me and my family are going to the beach this week and I don't want to leave him alone at house. Thank you so much.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, he can go to the Beach. He shouldn't be taken to dog parks or be allowed to play with unvaccinated dogs. Keep him on sidewalks and roads. Be careful on the beach that he doesn't drink the salt water or eat the sand. Have fun!
