Boarding Requirements

To ensure the safety and comfort of all pets staying at our facility, we require the following:

Health Requirements

• Fecal Testing: A current fecal test is required for dogs, cats, large birds, rabbits, and ferrets. This precaution ensures the safety of all pets and staff by screening for parasites with human potential.
• Flea and Tick Prevention: All pets must be on a veterinarian-approved flea and tick prevention plan. If fleas are detected during the stay, a Capstar treatment will be administered, and the pet will be isolated. Additional charges will apply for the treatment.
• Vaccinations: All pets must have up-to-date vaccinations at least two weeks prior to boarding to allow full immunity. This helps reduce the risks associated with being in a hospital environment.
• Dogs: Rabies, DALPP aka DHLPP (Distemper, Hepatitis caused by Adenovirus, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza, Parvo) *Some clinics give the Lepto vaccine as a separate vaccine, Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
• Cats: Rabies, FVRCP (Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, Panleukopenia), FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) vaccine in the last year if the cat goes outside at all, ALL cats also need a history of a negative FeLV/FIV snap test
