What is a Bordetella vaccine? |
|
Bordetella vaccine is given to aid in the prevention of "Kennel Cough",
the most prevalent upper
respiratory
problem in dogs in the United States. The condition is also known as
tracheobronchitis,
canine infectious tracheobronchitis, Bordetellosis, or Bordetella. It is highly
contagious in dogs. The disease is found worldwide and will infect a very high
percentage of dogs in their lifetime.
|
|
Why is the Bordetella Vaccine given every 6 months? |
|
It is
recommended to be given every 6 months if your dog is ever exposed to other
dogs. If your dog is groomed, boarded, walked among other dogs or you take
him/her to a public dog park, you run a higher risk of exposure. |
|
Can I bring my dog's bed? |
|
Due to our laundry policy, we recommend that you do not bring
your own bedding. We have plenty of fluffy blankets, beds and toys!
That way, you don't run the risk that your pet's belongings are misplaced.
|
|
When my dog stays in an indoor kennel does it get to go
outside? |
|
Absolutely! All of our guests are taken outside to the
grassy play yards a minimum of twice daily for 30 minutes to an hour, depending
on weather and temperment. |
|
|
What kind of food do you feed in the kennel? |
|
All our boarding guests are fed once daily. We feed Hill's Science
Diet Sensitive Stomach. If you prefer your pet to be fed more often, there
is an additional charge. If you choose to bring your own food, there is a
preparation charge. Please include any special instructions with your pet's
food. |
|
Why does my dog have to spayed or neutered to go to
daycare? |
|
In addition to the benefits of not having heat periods and
unwanted offspring, most pets become less aggressive toward people and other
animals. The neutered male dog is also less likely to roam, mark
territory, and display aggression toward other dogs. Un-spayed
female dogs can often, unwittingly, inspire aggression in males, neutered or
not. |
