She shouldn't be around any dogs that you do not know (groomers, boarding, dog park, etc.) until about 1 week after her last round of puppy shots.

Rabies should never be given at the same time as any other vaccine.

She will probably get DHPP.

Before allowing the vet give lepto or corona, please research and see if that is what you want to do.

If her puppy shots aren't finished, she shouldn't be allowed to go to the groomers.

Well, if you're comfortable taking her, that's up to you.
I can only tell you that personally I would not take my dog if she hadn't completed her pup shots (which should happen right around 16 weeks). It isn't worth the risk. They shouldn't really be grooming dogs that young because of this.

I personally would not take my dog to the groomer at such a young age. I would want all rounds of DHPP to be complete first. Parvo is VERY contagious and usually fatal...puppies are extremely susceptible...I personally would not risk it. It's such a common disease that you really are taking a risk. A 3 month old puppy really should need any grooming at this point anyway...other than a bath and nail trim the only thing I can think that they'd do is maybe trim paws and tip the ears. I would personally wait another month.

Also, I have personally never heard of a great grooming experience at any Petco. Of course it all depends on the groomer, but I've heard so many unhappy complaints. I know at the Petco here they can shave short or shorter...that's about it. You take your dog in, it comes out shaved in this town.
