Health

  • All dogs must be fully inoculated against Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvovirus and Parainfluenza, and must still be in date at time of departure.

Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus “DHP” – (Required every 3 years)

Leptospirosis – (L2 or L4 are accepted) (Required yearly)

Parainfluenza Kennel Cough “KC” (PI) (Required yearly) NASAL TYPE ONLY

Canine Infectious Bronchitis (Kennel Cough), We DO INSIST this vaccine is given to board your dog at our pet hotel, and we strongly advise this is done at least 3 weeks prior to boarding to give as much protection against this as possible.  We cannot be held responsible if a dog contracts Canine Infectious Bronchitis (Kennel Cough), as this is a highly airborne virus and the vaccine only covers the main strains so is not always 100% effective. Please note we do accept all brands of kennel cough, although we do advise you use Nobivac or Canigen as they give the best protection, any dog given Broncho shield will be more at risk as it does not contain parainfluenza.

No cat can be accepted for boarding unless it has been inoculated against Feline Enteritis and Cat Flu.

Please be aware it is your responsibility to ensure your pet is fully covered for the above vaccines and time scale required. Failure to comply with this will result in your pet being refused entry and no refund will be given.
