a word of warning
going to pet smart, or any pet stores where dogs can walk in, is a accident waiting to happen
you do not know, if the other dogs are vaccinated, wormed, and, god forbid, have parvo.highly contagious.
we bleach our shoes, or change them, anytime we come home from a dog show, or park, where other dogs have been.
better safethen sorry,, pet stores do not put up signs, enter at your own risk. i have seen too many pups and dogs get sick, because of, lets sell anything to make a buck at petco, petsmart or any other pet stores. they do not disinfect for diseases. as a ex vet tech, at a shelter, ive seen too much sickness and death. an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!
