Vaccinations

All pets must be up to date on their vaccinations within 72 hours of their stay.  It is the owner's responsibility to make sure that proof of current vaccinations are on file with the hospital at the time of admission.  If vaccinations have been administered at another veterinary hospital and they are closed at the time of admission and proof of vaccination is not on file, your pet will not be allowed to stay.  Boarding animals less than four months of age is not recommended because they may not have developed complete immunity.

Dogs: DHP-PV with Leptospirosis, Rabies, Bordetella, Influenza (bivalent), fecal test (every 6 months).

Cats: FVRCP-P, Rabies, fecal test (annually). A negative FeLV/FIV test within the past 2 months and current FeLV vaccination is required for kitty playtime.
