Shot Records/Requirements vaccination--information vaccinated dog or cat

Quarantine your dog 10 days before dropping off - no dog parks, other boarding or daycare facilities, pet stores, groomers (in-store or mobile), Home Depot, Lowes, restaurants, visits with friends' pets, or contact with neighbors' pets. AND ABSOLUTELY no visits inside the vet's office even if there are no other dogs around and they brought you in the back door. Help us decrease the spread of canine influenza and Atypical Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease (aCIRD). If your pet needs an updated vaccine within 10 days of boarding, please do curbside vet visits (This means your pet may not enter the vet office even if there are no dogs present. Keep your pet in your car and ask the tech to come to you). This 10-day quarantine replaces the need for getting the Canine Influenza vaccines. Please consult your vet to see if your pet is a good candidate for these additional shots. See more detail below.

DOGS - Bordetella, Distemper, Parvo and RABIES CERTIFICATE

(We aren't requiring the Leptospirosis and Flu vaccines at this time. We do recommend discussing both with your vet. The vaccines won't prevent your pet from contracting the diseases but will limit the damage they can cause.)

CATS - FVRCP, FeLV for outdoor cats, RABIES CERTIFICATE

1) Bordetella helps prevent canine cough most commonly known as kennel cough. While the vaccine does not guarantee your dog won't contract it, it decreases their chances. Dogs who board regularly are less likely to get sick if exposed.

2) Distemper and Parvo come in a 5 in 1 shot also shown as DAPP, DA2P and DHLPP.

3) Rabies Certificate - not just a line showing that they received their rabies vaccine and when it expires. The county requires an actual Rabies Certification for our file and here's what your veterinarian is required to provide you:

 10.20.250 

- Certificate of Vaccination—Information to Be Shown. 

A licensed veterinarian in the Department's jurisdiction who vaccinates a dog or cat against rabies must immediately issue a certificate of vaccination 

signed by the veterinarian to the owner or custodian of the dog or cat, 

and a duplicate certificate to the Director, stating: 

A.   The name and address of the owner or custodian of the vaccinated dog or cat; 

B.   The type of vaccine used, the name of the manufacturer, the manufacturer's serial 

or lot number, and the date of the vaccination; and 

C.   The breed, age, color, and sex of the vaccinated dog or cat. 

**********************************

To ensure the highest level of safety and health for all our canine guests and to effectively prevent the spread of Canine Flu and Atypical Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease (aCIRD), we have implemented a mandatory 10-day quarantine period for all dogs prior to their boarding with us. This quarantine is critical in minimizing the risk of disease transmission and is non-negotiable.

During this 10-day period, it is imperative that your dog does not come into contact with dogs from outside your household. This includes, but is not limited to, avoiding veterinary clinics, even if no other dogs are visible, as such environments can still pose a risk of airborne diseases. Should your dog require vaccination updates in preparation for their stay, these must be completed at least 10 days prior to boarding. If vaccinations are necessary during the quarantine period, they must be administered via a curbside service, ensuring your pet does not leave your vehicle.

Additionally, to further reduce the risk of exposure, your dog must not be taken to any other boarding or daycare facilities, play with dogs from neighboring homes, visit dog parks, or explore any high-traffic dog areas. 

These stringent measures are in place not only to protect your beloved pet but also to safeguard the health of all dogs in our care. We understand these requirements may impose an inconvenience; however, they are essential in our collective efforts to prevent the outbreak and spread of infectious diseases within our community. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in creating a safe and healthy environment for all our furry guests.
