We wanted to share another update regarding the recent rise in canine upper respiratory illness in our area and the continued steps we’re taking to protect our pack!
We’ve been in ongoing communication with local veterinary partners and many of you, and while we’re still awaiting a few final updates, we do have some promising news to share:
📌 A recent PCR test from one of our guests came back negative for all testable respiratory pathogens. While this is not fully conclusive—since not all dogs have been tested—it’s a reassuring sign that the vaccines we require, including Bordetella and Distemper/Parvo, are doing their job.
📌We’ve fully disinfected all Day Camp areas, including both indoor and outdoor play spaces.
📌We proactively reached out to all Day Camp families and asked pups to stay home this week so we could monitor symptoms and create individualized return plans.
📌We’ve contacted all clients with upcoming lodging reservations to help them make informed decisions or adjust plans if needed.
📌Our lodging counselors continue to follow strict disinfection protocols daily in all lodging areas and outdoor spaces.
📌We are also limiting the number of lodging guests we have in-house at this time as an added precaution.
Looking ahead, we plan to reopen Day Camp next week after following up with all Day Camp families. Any pups still showing symptoms should remain home, and we strongly encourage families to consult with their veterinarian before returning.
🐾If your pet shows any signs of respiratory illness—such as coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, or unusual tiredness—please contact your veterinarian and notify us immediately.
🐾If your dog has recently visited any pet care facility and later develops symptoms, we kindly ask that you inform those businesses as well. This transparency helps us all respond quickly and effectively.
We’ve also learned through veterinary conversations that other local boarding facilities are experiencing similar cases. The good news is, it seems like the worst may be behind us, and we’re hopeful things are starting to slow down.
Please remember: the symptoms we’ve seen so far remain mild—much like a common cold in humans—but we know it can still be concerning to see our pets feeling under the weather. Don’t panic—seek guidance from your veterinarian, monitor symptoms closely, and be mindful of where your pup may have been exposed.
Thank you for your continued trust, your communication, and your partnership as we navigate this together. 💚
