Vaccinations

As part of our unwavering commitment to safety, we require all of our beloved furry clients to maintain up-to-date vaccinations and provide documented proof during the intake process. We also mandate regular updates on vaccination expiration dates. This stringent protocol aligns us with national requirements for day care centers and boarding facilities, ensuring a consistent standard of safety across all pet care establishments.

To assist you in completing the vaccination section of our intake form, please refer to the following guidelines:

 

Vaccination Schedule

The following table serves as a general reference, but please be aware that your veterinarian may suggest a different vaccination schedule tailored to your pet's specific needs.

Age	Vaccination Description	Vaccination Type	Diseases Vaccinated Against	Comments
6-8 weeks	First vaccination	C3	Parvovirus, Distemper, Adenovirus (Hepatitis)
10-12 weeks	Booster vaccination	C5	Parvovirus, Distemper, Adenovirus (Hepatitis), Parainfluenza, Bordatella Bronchiseptica	It's likely this will be administered as a C4 + Bordatella Bronchiseptica
14-16 weeks	Final puppy vaccination	C4	Parvovirus, Distemper, Adenovirus (Hepatitis), Parainfluenza	It's likely this will be administered as a C3 + Parainfluenza
1 year	Annual adult vaccination	C5	Parvovirus, Distemper, Adenovirus (Hepatitis), Parainfluenza, Bordatella Bronchiseptica	It's likely this will be administered as a C4 + Bordatella Bronchiseptica
2 years + (repeat annually)	Annual adult vaccination	C5*	Parvovirus, Distemper, Adenovirus (Hepatitis), Parainfluenza, Bordatella Bronchiseptica	KC** (Parainfluenza + Bordatella Bronchiseptica)

*Please note that there are two variants of the C5 vaccine available: one is an annual dose, given every year in full. The other type, more commonly used, is a triannual dose that covers Distemper, Hepatitis, and Parvovirus for 3 years, as well as Bordetella Bronchoseptica and Parainfluenza 2 (canine cough/kennel cough) for one year. If the latter vaccination is administered, your dog will receive the KC vaccine annually for the following two years.

 

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these vaccination requirements. The safety and well-being of your pets, as well as our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of hygiene, remain our top priorities. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding vaccinations or our grooming services, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. Your trust in us is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to providing exceptional care for your cherished companions.

 

 

Note on Young Puppies:

Puppies are particularly vulnerable to illness as their immune systems are still developing, and the immunity they receive from their mothers gradually diminishes. For all young puppies, we insist that they have received a minimum of their first two sets of vaccinations before visiting our salon. We also highly recommend that they receive the third and final puppy vaccination to further enhance their safety.

Should you, as the owner, wish to schedule a grooming experience for your puppy before the third vaccination, we are more than willing to accommodate your request, provided that you are fully aware of and accept the associated risks. Due to our strict policy regarding adult dogs and their up-to-date vaccinations, as well as our rigorous cleanliness standards, we believe the risk to be minimal, although it can never be entirely eliminated.
