Quarantine your dog 10 days prior to dropping off - no dog parks, other boarding facilities, visits with friends' pets, contact with neighbors' pets. Help us decrease the spread of canine influenza. If your pet needs an updated vaccine within the 10 day period, please do curbside vet visits. This 10 day quarantine is in leu of getting the Leptospirosis and Canine Influenza vaccines. Please consult with your vet to see if your pet is a good candidate for these additional shots.
DOGS - Bordetella, Distemper, Parvo and RABIES CERTIFICATE
(We aren't requiring the Lepto and Flu vaccines at this time. Please discuss 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 is requiring an actual Rabies Certification for our file and here's what your veterinarian is required to provide you:
