♦️♦️♦️Hello all our lovely customers. Warmer weather has arrived and with always comes an influx of kennel cough. We have seen a very high number of cases lately. We did shut down almost completely these last two days for an extreme deep clean and air out of our facility. We know it’s highly inconvenient to have to cancel plans or not have your dog getting the daycare fun they love but we greatly wish to not contribute to the spread of this ick that’s going around.
I have consulted with a few local vets and we have been told dogs should not socialize until a full week after the last cough. Not after antibiotics but the last cough. We are turning away dogs for boarding, daycare and grooming if they are coughing upon entry. This is hard because often dogs can be carriers up to two weeks before we see any symptoms and this is airborne. So even though we are taking precautions such as no shared water or toys there is only so much we can prevent with it being a social atmosphere.
We are asking your help to please keep your pets at home if you hear any coughing from your dog. Please help us stop the spread of this infection as much as possible. And please be understanding if your pet needs to be turned away. No one like having to turn someone away but at this time we feel it’s the most responsible action we can take.
Thank you for your understanding. Please stay healthy and well.
