Fu-an,
I used a mobile grooming service in April, Ruff Cuts (512-522-0334), here in Austin to get our dogs groomed. They told me that they require current vaccinations over the phone. When they came out, they had me sign off that they are current but didn't require any proof. If you do go through them, I'd request either Stephanie or Caroline. I had another woman who came out instead of Stephanie and I wasn't impressed (I can't remember her name for the life of me but I've heard really good things about both Stephanie and Caroline). I will use this service again for our dogs as we don't vaccinate or give them flea/heartworm treatment anymore.

Oh my, Fu-an, this is real misunderstanding! "For their protection?" That would imply they equate a dog who's had no vaccines lately as a rabid dog! That would be like treating everyone who refuses to get the flu shot as if they have the flu: "Here, if you're coming in my house and haven't had your flu shot, you need to wear this mask. I've got to protect myself."
Crazy idea. And in a forward thinking city like Austin, I'm surprised. I hope you find someone with more sense and share their contact info with our readers.
