Ashford Pet Care

Vaccination Policy

At Ashford Pet Care, all animals that board with us MUST be up to date on all of their vaccinations. And an up-to-date Vaccination Booklet must be seen before Ashford Pet Care agrees to board your Dog.

For dogs, this includes the booster which can be done every one, two, or three years depending on the vaccine, which protects against parvovirus, distemper and hepatitis.

Dogs must also be vaccinated against kennel cough which will need to be done annually, and leptospirosis, which depending on the vaccine will need to be done between every 6 months or every year.

All vaccinations must be updated AT LEAST 6 WEEKS prior to entry. If the animal's vaccines are not up to date or have been done within 6 WEEKS prior to the board, your pet will not be allowed entry into Board.

We are aware some booster vaccinations for dogs can last up to three years. If the booster your pet has had lasts up to three years, you will NOT need to get it updated annually. If the booster only lasts one year, then this WILL need to be updated annually.

Ensuring that all vaccinations are up to date with our boarders means that the pets within our care run a much lower risk of catching anything.

Many diseases are airborne and therefore we can NOT control what is being passed around. The majority of these vaccinations merely protect your pet from getting these diseases, but there is always still the risk pets can catch these diseases.

With our high standard of cleaning and consistent policy with vaccinations, we can minimise and try to prevent any diseases from entering the premises of Ashford Pet Care.
