VACCINE & WELLNESS REQUIREMENTS 🐾

We take the health of our dogs pretty seriously around here. With lots of furry friends sharing the same space, illnesses can spread quickly, so all dogs must be current on PLP's required vaccines before attending daycare or boarding.

Vaccines We Require

🐾 Rabies
Must be current and administered by a veterinarian.

🐾 Distemper (DHPP or DAPP)
Your dog's combination vaccine covering Distemper and other common illnesses.

🐾 Leptospirosis (Lepto)
Lepto may be given separately OR included in your dog's Distemper combination vaccine. If you see something like DHLPP or DA2PP+L on the records, Lepto may already be included.

🐾 Canine Influenza
This is the actual Canine Influenza vaccine, not Parainfluenza. They're different vaccines, despite whoever decided those names weren't confusing enough.

🐾 Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
Required every 6 months for all PLP dogs.

Why We Require Them

Daycare and boarding facilities naturally bring lots of dogs together, which means contagious illnesses can spread much more easily than they would at home.

Vaccines don't make illness impossible, but they significantly reduce risk and help us protect your dog, the other dogs in our care, and our staff.

We've personally seen how quickly illnesses like Canine Influenza can spread, which is why our vaccine requirements aren't optional.

Feeling Crummy? Stay Home. ❤️

Even fully vaccinated dogs can get sick.

Please do not bring your dog to daycare or boarding if they're experiencing:

🐾Coughing or hacking

🐾Frequent sneezing

🐾Runny nose or unusual nasal discharge

🐾Vomiting or diarrhea

🐾Unusual lethargy

🐾Fever or other signs of illness

If you're unsure whether your dog is well enough to attend, check with your veterinarian before bringing them in.

Keeping Records Updated

You can view the vaccination records we currently have on file for your dog through the Pets section of your PLP client portal.

It is the client's responsibility to make sure all required vaccinations remain current. If vaccinations are not up to date at drop-off, your dog will not be permitted to stay.

We know it's one more thing for humans to keep track of. Apparently you guys weren't issued convenient little rabies tags yourselves. But these rules help us keep PLP as safe and healthy as possible for everybody.

Paws & love,
