As many of you know, there is a recent respiratory illness affecting canines in parts of the United States. Below is what we are doing to best take care of the dogs at Ruff House.

We perform brief health checks on all dogs each time they enter the facility. We will continue our stringent cleaning practices, cleaning thoroughly both inside and out, with our vet approved cleaning products.

We require all dogs to be up-to-date on all bordetella, distemper, and rabies, and highly recommend influenza vaccine. We confirm these prior the dogs entering the facility. They must be completed ten days prior to arriving.

What you can do to help:
Keep your pet home if you notice any of the following symptoms
- Discharge from the nose or eyes
- Coughing, sneezing, or wheezing
- Difficulty or rapid breathing
- Lethargy
- Lack of appetite
If we notice any of these symptoms upon arrival of a pet, they are quarantined immediately and the pet parent is contacted to arrange pick up. Please update your emergency contact on file in case.

Recommendations from a Local Veterinarian:
- Boost your dog's bordetella vaccine every 6 months.
- Opt to get your dog the influenza vaccine
- If you pet has been sick, do not return to daycare/boarding until two weeks after their last symptom.

As always, the dogs' safety and health is our number one priority. We will continue to stay informed on the recent virus and in touch with local vet care providers. If you have any concerns, please feel free to reach out to me.
