Vaccinations:
We endeavour to prevent any infectious diseases entering the kennel / cattery but cannot be held responsible should any animal bring a virus into the premises. Prior to accepting your pet for boarding will require sight of a current vaccination certificate. Dog vaccination must safeguard against; distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, leptospirosis, and parainfluenza. Cat vaccinations must safeguard against; cat flu and feline enteritis. We recommend that rabbits are vaccinated before boarding. See the VMD vaccine schedule for updates.
Medical Conditions:
Any pre existing medical and/or behavioral conditions must be declared prior to boarding. A medication form must be completed.
Infectious Bronchitis (kennel cough):
We strongly recommend dogs are vaccinated annually, with Canigen or Nobivac, to potentially lessen the symptoms and reduce the shedding of infectious particles connected with this bacterial respiratory disease . We will not be held responsible should an infection break out whilst your animal is boarded. We reserve the right to refuse to accept your dog should he be carrying signs of infection. All costs involved in treatment of the animal will be borne by the customer.
Flea & Worming Treatments:
Before coming to the kennels please ensure that your pet has been treated for fleas and worms. If you are in any doubt about treatment contact your Veterinary Surgery for advice.
Minimum / Maximum Age:
As a rule we will accept animals as soon as full primary vaccination has been given. Animals over 10 years of age who have never boarded with us will have to go undergo mandatory assessment during a free day trial.
We reserve the right to refuse admission if staff are concerned about the age, health or behaviour of the animal concerned.
Administration:
We provide a comprehensive range of paperwork relating to your pet’s stay with us. We require completion of all of the paperwork. In addition to this emergency contact details are mandatory.
Diet:
Please advice our staff of any special dietary requirements your pet may have. If you prefer your pet to be kept on the same diet as at home and the food is one we do not stock please bring enough with you for the duration of your pet’s stay.
Bedding & Personal Chattels:
All collars, leads, dishes, bowls and any personal effects are left at the kennels entirely at the owner’s risk.
Aggressive / Destructive Animals:
In cases where animals are left that prove to be aggressive towards other animals or staff, or destructive to our facilities, we will contact you to arrange their immediate removal. Any damage caused by an animal will be charged to the animal’s owner.
Abandoned Animals:
If an animal is not collected within 7 days of the date it is due to leave the kennels and no communication has been received from the owner, I the undersigned give my authority to sell or otherwise dispose of the animal.
Veterinary Services:
If in our absolute discretion it is necessary to take your pet to a Veterinary Surgeon we will do so, even if you are not available to give your consent.
If we consider the circumstances as an emergency we may do this even if you do not agree.
If the vet advises, in extreme circumstances, that your pet requires euthanasia every effort will be made to contact you and all of your emergency contacts. However, if no one is available we will follow Vets advice and act in the animal’s best interest.
You now irrevocably agree to follow the Vets advice.
You now irrevocably agree to pay the Vets fees if euthanasia is required.
