The only other thing
that we’d ask you to bring is your dog’s vaccination
certificate to show us that your dog is up to date on their
yearly booster injections, and also that they have had an
extra vaccination for Bordetella bronchiseptica, which is more
commonly known as "kennel cough". This extra
vaccination is given to the dog by "squirting" the
vaccine up their nose. It's best that it's given about 2 weeks
before coming into the kennels. Just for information, there
are a couple of different brands of "kennel cough"
vaccine. The main ones are "Intrac" which lasts for
6 to 10 months, but should be given every 6 months, and "NobivacKC"
which lasts for a full 12 months. The NobivacKC vaccination is
actually nicer for the dog as it is a smaller volume that has
to be squirted up their nose!
For food we stock most
of the major brands in both tinned food and dry food,
including, Pedigree Chum, Winalot, Chappie, Eukanuba, and
Friskies, to name but a few. If your dog is on a special type
of diet though it would be a good idea if you could bring in a
supply of the food, as it might not be one that we would
usually stock. We usually feed either once or twice a day
depending on what your dog is used to.
We hope it’s ok, but
we also usually include biscuits and cuddles at bedtime.
