Vaccinations

All pets are to have current and valid vaccinations.

Failure to provide proof of these gives Goodwood Kennels the right to refuse boarding.

Dogs must be inoculated for Kennel Couch (KC) and DHPPi, and this must cover the length of their stay.

Cats must be inoculated against Feline Flu, and this must cover the length of their stay.

All vaccinations must be given a minimum of 7 days prior to boarding, Evidence is required by way of pet book upon check in or a vet issued certificate can be emailed in advance.

Please ensure your dog or cat is treated for internal and external parasites.

Canine parvovirus and kennel cough are highly infectious.

Canine cough (or Kennel Cough) is generally a mild disease. However, it is very infectious to other dogs and may cause your dog to cough for some time. Kennel Cough can be prevented (or at least the severity of the disease reduced) by vaccination. This can be part of annual vaccines, or an intranasal vaccine.

Parvovirus is another disease which is more common where dogs congregate. The vaccine for this is Nobivac DHPPi, which gives immunity for up to 3 years. Consider boosting this vaccine every 2 years to make sure that your dogs are still protected.
