๐พ๐ WHY VACCINES MATTER ๐๐พ
At Backroads Boarding, your petโs health and safety always come first! โค๏ธ We require vaccines for grooming, boarding, and daycare to help protect not only your furry family member, but every pet โ and even people โ they come in contact with. ๐ถ๐พ
Why are they important? ๐
โ๏ธ Grooming: Even short appointments involve shared spaces, equipment, staff handling, and interaction with other pets throughout the day.
๐ Boarding & Daycare: Dogs spend extended time together, share play areas, water bowls, and socialize closely โ increasing exposure to contagious illnesses.
Required vaccines:
โ๏ธ Rabies (Non-negotiable)
โ๏ธ DHPP (Distemper-Parvo)
โ๏ธ Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
Strongly Recommended:
๐ Canine Influenza (Dog Flu)
๐ฆ Why Rabies is Non-Negotiable:
Rabies is required by law and protects not only your pet, but humans too. Rabies is a fatal disease that affects mammals โ including people. Because of the seriousness and risk involved, current rabies vaccination is required for every pet entering our facility. No exceptions.
Vaccines help:
๐ฉต Protect your pet
๐ฉต Protect other pets in our care
๐ฉต Protect people
๐ฉต Reduce the spread of illness
๐ฉต Keep our facility safe & healthy
Thank you for helping us create a happy, healthy, and safe environment for all of our furry guests! ๐โจ๐พ
