Vaccinations Required

Vaccinations must be current prior to admission into day care, so please plan accordingly. There is a two week waiting period after the Bordatella vaccination is given to ensure effectiveness.

Dogs who regularly frequent dog parks, grooming salons, boarding and day care facilities and vet hospitals are at a higher risk of contracting airborne illnesses and parasites. Therefore, we require the following:

argaiv1580


Bordatella Yearly
DHPP
(Distemper, Parvo
and Parainfluenza)
1 or 3 year vaccination
Rabies 1 or 3 year vaccination
Fecal test Every 6 months

A Canine Influenza vaccine is not required, but is recommended. Although the vaccination does not reduce the incidence of canine flu, it reduces the severity of lung lesions and duration of coughing and viral shedding. Please discuss the benefits and risks with your veterinarian.
If your veterinarian recommends that your pet should not have certain vaccinations because he/ she is an older age or because of a health condition, please have your vet write us a letter. The letter should state your pet's condition, which vaccination/s your pet will not be receiving, and confirmation that the absence of the vaccination/s will not cause your pet or other pet guests to be at risk. However, we cannot accept any pet without the Bordatella vaccination.
