Vaccination Policy

Vaccinations are required for all dogs staying at the Ranch.

After most vaccines are administered, immunity is not immediate; it takes about five to ten days to become effective.  So please have your dog vaccinated at least 10 days prior to the date of check in. Please do not take your dog to a dog park at least two weeks prior to boarding in order to help reduce possible exposure to Kennel Cough or other viruses.

• Up-to-date Rabies
  
  The Certificate MUST INCLUDE the following information:
  – Your Name
  – Your dog’s name
  – Date of Vaccination
  – Date Vaccine Expires
  – Veterinarian’s Name and Signature (or stamp)
  – Manufacturer of Vaccine
  – Lot/Serial Number
  – Lot Expiration
  

• DAPP vaccines
  

• Bordetella vaccine administered within 6 months of boarding.
  
  Please note:
  The Bordetella Vaccine may prevent or reduce the chances of your dog getting infected with “Kennel Cough” or lessen the severity of illness if infected, but some variants may be resistant to the vaccine and your dog may still get the virus.
  

• Leptospirosis Vaccination
  

• Canine Influenza Vaccination
  
  Please note:
  Because of recent outbreaks in the Los Angeles area of Leptospirosis as well as Canine Influenza, we are now requiring all dogs coming to stay with us to be fully vaccinated for both in an effort to try and stop the spread of these contagious infections and to prevent exposure to your dog.
  Both of these vaccines are a 2-shot series that will need to be spaced 4-5 weeks apart to take full effect.
