VACCINATIONS REQUIRED FOR D♡G BOARDING
➜ PLEASE NOTE: I recommend a 3 year protocol for the core [combination] vaccine booster to avoid over vaccination, and an annual protocol for the weaker canine Kennel Cough and Leptospirosis vaccination boosters. The rabies vaccination is only required if a dog is travelling abroad (and back).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
• KENNEL COUGH — There are multiple causative agents, the most common being the bacteria Bordetella bronchiseptica (found in 78.7% of cases in Southern Germany), followed by canine parainfluenza virus (37.7% of cases) and to a lesser extent canine coronavirus (9.8% of cases), It is highly contagious; however adult dogs may display immunity to reinfection even under constant exposure. Kennel cough is so named because the infection can spread quickly among dogs in the close quarters of a kennel or animal shelter.
• LEPTOSPIROSIS — There are a very large number of leptospira. Eight of these are known to cause disease in dogs and cats. They are: Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae, L. canicola, L. grippotyphosa, L. pomona, L. bratislava, L. automnalis, L. bataviae, L. hardjo, and L. grippotyphosa . The first four are the most common ones that infect dogs. The disease is always present in the environment for your dog to pick up. This is because it is perpetuated in rats, as well as domestic livestock. The disease is most common in places around the World with mild climates.
THE CORE [COMBINATION] VACCINE AGAINST:
• CANINE PARVOVIRUS most commonly affects puppies and adolescent dogs who have not been vaccinated. It's a highly contagious viral disease that can produce a life-threatening illness. The virus attacks rapidly dividing cells in a dog’s body, most severely affecting the intestinal tract. Parvovirus also attacks the white blood cells, and when young animals are infected, the virus can damage the heart muscle and cause lifelong cardiac problem. Parvovirus is extremely contagious and can be transmitted by any person, animal or object that comes in contact with an infected dog's f***s. Highly resistant, the virus can live in the environment for months, and may survive on inanimate objects such as food bowls, shoes, clothes, carpet and floors. It is common for an unvaccinated dog to contract parvovirus from the streets, especially in urban areas where there are many dogs. Breeds at a higher risk are Rottweilers, Doberman pinschers, Labrador retrievers, American Staffordshire terriers and German shepherds.
• CANINE DISTEMPER This is caused by a similar virus that causes the measles in humans and it is also transmittable in many different ways, including through the air. Puppies from three to six months old are particularly susceptible. Though it is not generally fatal to older dogs, it can spread quickly which makes it easily transferable from dog to dog. The virus infects the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, the brain, and spinal cord.
• INFECTIOUS CANINE HEPATITIS is an acute liver infection in dogs caused by canine adenovirus type-1 (CAV-1). CAV-1. The virus is spread in the faeces, urine, blood, saliva, and nasal discharge of infected dogs. It is contracted through the mouth or nose, where it replicates in the tonsils. The virus then infects the liver and kidneys. The incubation period is 4 to 7 days.
• CANINE ADENOVIRUS TYPE II (CAV-2) is related to the hepatitis virus, canine adenovirus type 1 (CAV-1). CAV-2 is used in vaccines to provide protection against canine infectious hepatitis. CAV-2 is also one of the causes of infectious tracheobronchitis, also known as canine cough.1
Adenoviruses are spread directly from dog to dog through infected respiratory secretions or by contact with contaminated f***s or urine.
