Health Requirements of Our Guests
...
FLEA CONTROL
We use a a citrus based shampoo for flea control. All guests are examined
for fleas at check-in. If we find fleas or ticks our guests will visit the
Spa for a bath, brush out and skin conditioning treatment prior to being
taken to their suite. The price of the bath and skin treatment is $25.00.
For the safety and comfort of all our
guests we are unable to check in any guests without the proper Veterinarian
certifications.
DISEASE CONTROL
The essential vaccinations for your pet are as follows:
DOGS:
Rabies vaccination is required by state
law for all dogs four months of age and older. The combination vaccine
commonly known as "distemper" actually protects your dog against five
or six viral diseases, including canine distemper and parvovirus. This
vaccine is required, since these diseases can be life-threatening to
unvaccinated dogs.
Bordetella or kennel cough vaccination
is particularly vital for all dogs in a boarding or day care situation,
since the infection is airborne and quite common where dogs are housed
together or play together.
CATS:
Rabies
vaccination is required by state law for all cats four months of age and
older. The combination vaccine commonly known as "RCP" protects your
cat against serious upper respiratory and gastrointestinal viruses. Upper
respiratory infections can be quite contagious in boarding situations, so
this vaccine is highly recommended to protect your feline friend.
All
guests must be spayed or neutered prior to check-in.
We STRONGLY recommend that you do not board any pet under 6 months of
age. They are still subject to a variety of illnesses, including PARVO.
We do understand that there can be an emergency situation that would
necessitate boarding a young puppy or kitten. If this occurs please call
us to discuss. We will try to help you make arrangements that are safe
and practical for you, your pet and our other guests.
