Health

The health of your dog is important to us, before your visit, during your visit, and after your visit.  It is a requirement for all guest dogs to have the following:

• full vaccination before arrival
• worming
• flea free
  

We know that some people don't like vaccinations, however, due to DPI requirements, we are required to insist on an up to date vaccination of your dog.  Some vaccines only need to be given every 3 years, so check with your vet on how to minimise vaccines, whilst meeting with the legislative requirements for boarding.  In any case, please make sure you bring your vaccine card for us to check off (or scan and send us a copy), and those vaccines must be given at least 2 weeks before your dog visits.  Sorry, this is non-negotiable.

We are able to offer worming and flea treatment on arrival, although you will need to pick up the costs of this.  (Please note, it is a DPI regulartory requirement that dogs going into boarding kennels in Victoria have current vaccination certificates, and are wormed and de-flead before entering kennels.)

Every dog that arrives and leaves will be weighed and photographed with an analysis on condition provided for our records.  Our preference is that every guest dog is microchipped prior to arrival.  We are able to offer microchipping from our visiting vet if visits correspond with your dog's stay. 

We have a vet on call at all times and if in the unlikely event that your dog does become sick during its stay, we will contact you and arrange appropriate veterinary care at your cost.  You must let us know prior to your dog's arrival of any health issues.

We are more than happy to give any medications required as prescribed by your vet, or any vitamins or supplements you supply, as part of your service.

Your dog will receive twice daily exercise sessions as a minimum.  Let us know if your dog is able to do push ups and sit ups!  Seriously though, if your dog is not used to exercise, let us know, and we will take it easy.  

Doggy Chiropractor

If you are interested in using our visiting doggy chiropractor during your dog's visit, just let us know.  Most often such services are available on a weekday only (usually Monday/Tuesday), and only available if your dog is boarding with us or on a day spa package - and at an additional cost.
