Hi, everyone!! As you all know us after 18 years, we are extremely clean. We do our best to keep everyone safe and healthy.
There is absolutely nothing more I can do to try to prevent your dogs from picking up a cough. I have my strict 2 week safety protocol. If everyone followed it, there were never be a cough coming into my kennel. I cannot shut down and have 58 families leave vacation to come get their pets to break the cycle. The last time it happened, I promised you all that I would not close and ruin vacations anymore. So, I beg of you, please try not to have your dogs anywhere within 2 weeks of boarding (no dog parks, no training, no pet stores, no grooming, no vets, etc.).
Kennel cough is just like a cold for us. Very easy to pick up. The bordetella vaccine works like the flu/covid vaccine…you can still get it, just not as severe.
I’ve been very blessed to have very few cases over the years.
Please help me keep everyone healthy.
I will no longer be closing to break the cycle. If I did, the very first dog can bring it right back in. There’s just way too much going on these days where the dogs can get exposed.
It’s very stressful for me when it happens because I take geriatrics and immunocompromised dogs. I don’t want anyone getting sick. I just want to love on them and let them have an enjoyable stay with us.
I beg of the people that know they’ve done wrong and tell me they haven’t been anywhere for 2 weeks prior to think about what they are potentially doing to other loved ones boarding here.
It’s completely out of my hands and totally in all yours.
You all know how strict we are and clean. Please help us!!
Thank you so much for coming to me all these years!! We hope to be around many more!!
Jen
