My puppy is getting a couple vaccinations this Saturday morning and right after is scheduled to go to her groomers for a bath and nail clips. Will she not tolerate that well right after shots? TIA.

I went ahead and cancelled, but did ask the vet to clip her nails. I'm so afraid to do them myself.

Absolutely not a problem. She dog doesn't even feel the shots as they're just under the skin.

No. First of all she will be around other dogs and if these are her first shots, she's not immune to all those diseases yet. Sometimes they get a little reaction too and the groomer is not a good place for her to be. If you are going to have her groomed on a regular basis, be sure she has a Bordatella vaccine every 6 months. If she really needs to be groomed before all shots are done, call a mobile groomer.

this is a bad idea....
firstly it takes 3 days for vaccinations to be effective so your puppy will be at risk while at the groomers because she will be exposed to other dogs who may be carriers of who knows what...
also some dogs have reactions to vaccinations and the groomers is not a good place to be if this happens
I would rebook the grooming appointment

Not a problem as most shots are under the skin for new pups and not intermuscular. You may want to let the groomer know just in case.
