CANINE CAMPERS
Requirements for Campers: All canine campers are required to be up-to-date on vaccines (Rabies, DAP, Bordetella) and parasite prevention (heartworm, intestinal parasite, flea, tick). It is recommended that vaccines be administered at least 2 weeks prior to boarding to increase efficacy. No vaccine is 100% but especially Bordetella (Kennel Cough) may not be as
effective if administered at the same time as boarding. ALL VACCINES MUST BE ADMINISTERED BY A CERTIFIED VETERINARIAN.
Parasite-Free Facility: All campers will be examined by a camp counselor upon admission. If external parasites (fleas, ticks,
etc) are found the pet will be treated appropriately at the owner’s expense. All campers not up-to-date on intestinal parasite prevention will be screened and If parasites are found the pet will be treated appropriately, all at owner’s expense.
