It has come to our attention that Kennel Cough/Respiratory Infections are on the rise. These viruses are easily transmitted from one dog to another.  Dogs attending Boarding/Daycamp facilities, training classes, grooming salons, vet clinics, shelters, dog parks, or anywhere else multiple dogs may interact will be more at risk to pick up an URI. Geriatric dogs, puppies, and those with weakened immune systems are also more susceptible to URIs.

We are always vigilant in making sure all Canine Guests have updated Bordetella vaccines prior to their visit with us. Similar to a Flu Vaccine, the Bordetella vaccine is a live vaccine and is not 100% effective but can lessen symptoms severity and length of illness. Unfortunately, dogs can be asymptomatic for the virus and show no symptoms but still infect others.

We would  like to advise that we are continuing to deep clean our facility and monitor all Canine Guests closely. Please be on the lookout for any signs of respiratory illness such as nasal discharge or coughing. Please keep your Pets home if they are displaying any of these symptoms and contact your vet. Any Canine Guest displaying symptoms will be turned away to protect those in our care.
