Is Petco's dog wash safe for my unvaccinated 7-week-old puppy?

Question

Is it safe to take in a non-fully vaccinated puppy to your dog washing stations or should he be bathed at home till fully vaccinated? He’s 7.5 weeks old. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 1 month and 23 days old | 47 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding your puppy. It would be safest to bathe him at home until he is fully vaccinated. This would limit his risk of acquiring any infectious diseases. If you really want to take him, then I recommend carrying him into the facility. Place him in the tub, bathe him and then carry him out of the store. Do not allow him to interact with other dogs or go to the bathroom outside the store where other dogs go. Many infectious diseases are spread through the feces. I hope this information helps!
