Your Dog's Home Away From Home
Requirements:
All dogs are required to be up to date on vaccinations. These include Rabies, DHPPL, Bordetella. Bordetella must be updated every 6 months.
Rabies (offered 1yr or 3 yr vaccine)
Rabies is..
Rabies is a viral disease that causes acute encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) in warm-blooded animals.
Rabies is a virus that in the U.S. is usually transmitted by a bite from a wild infected animal, such as a bat, raccoon, skunk, or fox. If a bite from a rabid animal goes untreated and rabies develops, it is almost always fatal.
DHPPL (offered 1yr or 3 yr vaccine)
DHPPL is..
DHPPL is a combination of five vaccines: distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza and Lepto. It's given to puppies in a series of three or four vaccines and then given every one to three years to adult dogs. Along with rabies, DHPPL is considered a set of core vaccines: those universally recommended for puppies no matter what their circumstance.
Bordetella (Offered 1 yr vaccine)
Bordetella must be updated every 6 months to be safe. Your veterinarian will give you a 1 year vaccine. However if you take your dog to the dog park, groomer, vet, board your dog, or even take them to a friends house who has another dog etc. Any place where your dog will be in contact with another dog you must get bordetella updated every 6 months. It has been shown from research and also talking with different vets that the Bordetella vaccine starts to lose its effectiveness around 6 months and declines as each month passes.
I recommend your dog be on a flea preventative such as Frontline Plus.
Also recommend your dog be on a heartworm preventative such as Heartgard Plus. Heartworms are transmitted by mosquitoes. If your dog contracts heartworm the treatment is expensive and a long process that can be fatal in some cases. You can get a heartworm test done at your vet for around $20. Do Not give your dog heartworm medicine without getting the test done first as it can cause more damage if your dog does already have it.
Please consult your vet for further questions.
Your dog must be friendly with people and other dogs. If your dog is shy that's okay. Just no aggressive dogs please.
Puppies are welcome. They must be UTD on all rounds of vaccines which is typically at 16 - 18 weeks.
I can NOT accept female dogs that are in heat or going to be in heat during their stay.
To give your dog the proper care and attention space is limited as I typically won't board more the 6 dogs at a time excluding mine.
