Vaccines

Dogs are required to be healthy and have proof of Rabies (canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, parainfluenza, and canine parvovirus.). Due to the many outbreaks of Kennel Cough in East Texas, we now require that your pets have a Bordatella vaccination within six months of their stay with us. Many vets highly recommend the intra nasal version over the shot. If it is your dog’s first Bordatella vaccination, it will take 14 days to become effective so it must be done at least 14 days before your dog is scheduled to come to the resort. If your dog has already had a Bordatella shot within the year and only requires a booster, the booster is said to be effective almost immediately.

We can accept puppies for boarding and training as early as 2 months provided that they have had their first round of vaccinations at least 2 weeks prior to arrival here. There are quite a lot of studies that say that puppies minds are little sponges at this age, however, there is some risk that they are not fully protected against disease at this point. There is some controversy as to the risk versus reward so we leave it up to you. For maximum protection, it is advisable to wait until they are 4 months old and have had their third round of vaccines at least 2 weeks prior to their arrival here.
