Guests are required to come into the kennel in a healthy state. If a pet appears ill, the owner will be asked to seek a veterinarian's assistance. We ask that all pets be on some type of health regime with their veterinarian. Whatever your own vet recommends for vaccines, for your particular dog is fine with us. Not all dogs can withstand the yearly vaccine protocol.


Most kennels require the Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine. Here at Country Paws, this vaccine is not required to board. We leave this decision to vaccinate up to you and your veterinarian. If you do give the vaccine, please give approximately 2 weeks before boarding.

PLEASE NOTE: Giving the vaccine does not guarantee your dog will not get kennel cough. We do everything in our power to keep the kennel clean and ventilated but kennel cough is highly contagious. Many dogs come in and leave the kennel without symptoms, therefore we are not aware that other dogs have even been exposed to the virus.
