At Pawfect Home Dog Crèche, we prioritize transparency and the well-being of all our canine guests. Given the recent rise in kennel cough cases, particularly affecting senior dogs, we kindly request that you inform us if your dog has a history of kennel cough.
**Why Transparency Matters:**
* **Protecting Vulnerable Dogs:** Senior dogs and those with compromised immune systems are more susceptible to severe complications from kennel cough, such as pneumonia.
* **Early Detection:** Kennel cough symptoms can be subtle initially. Prompt disclosure allows us to monitor and manage potential cases effectively.
**Our Preventive Measures:**
* **Vaccination Requirement:** We require all dogs to be up-to-date with their Bordetella vaccinations. While the vaccine doesn't guarantee complete immunity, it significantly reduces the severity and spread of the disease.
* **Hygiene Protocols:** Regular disinfection of our facility, including bedding, bowls, and play areas, to minimize the risk of transmission.
* **Isolation Procedures:** Any dog displaying symptoms will be promptly isolated to prevent potential outbreaks.
**Your Role:**
* **Inform Us:** Please notify us if your dog has exhibited symptoms or has been diagnosed with kennel cough in the past.
* **Monitor Health:** Keep an eye on your dog's health and consult a veterinarian if you notice any signs of respiratory illness.
By working together and maintaining open communication, we can ensure a safe and healthy environment for all our furry friends at Pawfect Home Dog Crèche.
