Vaccinations, Boarding Requirements & Forms

 

The health and safety of the pets in our care is our number one priority. Knowing the dietary needs, exercise restrictions or required medications for our guests helps us provide the best experience.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations must be administered at least 48 hours prior to arrival under the guidance of a licensed veterinarian. However, we prefer vaccinations be administered 10-14 days before check-in to ensure maximum efficiency. 

Vaccine required
 

Bordetella ( Kennel Cough)
Required  at least 48 hours prior to check-in to ensure maximum efficiency and protection against Kennel Cough. Please note that many veterinarians administer this vaccine only by request.

​
Rabies
1 or 3-yr.
 

Canine Influenza
(for dogs) to help protect against the Canine Influenza respiratory illness. Consult your veterinarian.
 

Leptospirosis
Not required, but highly recommended to help protect against the Leptospirosis infection. Consult your veterinarian.
 

Fleas, Ticks, De-Wormer & Heart Worm 
In addition to vaccinations, all pets should be on flea, tick and heart worm preventive, also to be current on their de-wormer. Consult your veterinarian. We live in the country where there could be mosquitoes, Fleas and ticks. We do our best to have our yard and kennels treated by a professional to help fight the bug battle but its not always 100% and so to help protect yours and our babies even more we require all our pet guests to be on a preventive.  
 

Additional Requirements

All Furry guests must be at least 4 months of age to be admitted for service. At the discretion of The Rustic Pet Lodge, some pets may not be permitted. We require that the Pet Parent or Agent dropping off the pet(s) for services is an adult, over the age of 18.

To keep your pet’s tummy happy, we recommend you bring their own food in a sealed container, which we will feed free of charge. If you’d like us to feed them our preferred brand of in-house food, additional fees apply.
