Proof of vaccinations: bring proof of up-to-date DHLPP, Rabies, and Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccinations.
A note about Kennel Cough: Bordetella, or kennel cough, is a very common and contagious illness that is difficult to prevent or contain. It transmits both by air (coughing, sneezing) and through contact with saliva (toys, water bowls, floor surfaces). Vaccines offer some prevention but are not 100% effective. With an incubation period of 6-10 days, a dog may already be a carrier of bordetella when he arrives although he is not yet symptomatic. When an outbreak occurs we make every possible effort to minimize your dog's exposure, but isolation and disinfection at this point are only somewhat helpful. We also call or otherwise warn owners prior to drop-off; however, we cannot be held responsible for the timing of an outbreak or for making alternate arrangements, and we are in no way obligated to refund payment for your dog's stay with us or for your vet bill.
Your pet's own food: Same as at home. Bring enough for the duration plus couple of extra meals.
Toys, etc: Due to COVID-19 please DO NOT bring blankets, toys, bowls, crates, anything that smells like you, and special treats.
