These policies are subject to change without notice and they will remain available to our clients on-line. A printed copy will be provided upon request. Remember, your animal may be friendly, but we may have other animals in the lobby that may react unpredictably. If you have a flexi-leash we ask that you keep the length short and the lock mechanism engaged.
Ask your vet for the bivalent vaccine. Also note that some dogs can exhibit symptoms of Canine Cough or Bordetella from receiving the vaccine. Dogs in heat will not be accepted for any services at The Ruff House. If your dog goes into heat while staying with us, we will contact you to arrange immediate pickup. Animals who must receive an initial Rabies vaccine cannot board for 28 days following inoculation. Ferrets are required to have Rabies and Distemper vaccines. Vaccines that are not administered by a veterinarian cannot be accepted because we cannot confirm the proper dosage, storage, and administration of those vaccines.
Therefore, you will need to be responsible for ensuring that we receive current vaccine records for your animal. Veterinarians may email records to info ruffhouseva. Medications: If your animal is taking any medications, be sure to bring them in the original bottle. This ensures that we can provide accurate information to a veterinarian in the event of an emergency. Optional items to bring:.
Continuing on their own food helps them avoid digestion issues that can result from switching food. It is helpful to our staff if the food is pre-measured into small bags, but this is not required. We recommend bringing some extra food just in case your travel plans change, or in case they are so excited they consume more than usual for free feeding animals. This formula maintains an ideal balance of protein and fat that will help promote a healthy life for your dog.
If your dog runs out of food, we will feed them our house food unless other arrangements are made. Boarding can be stressful for some animals which impacts their appetite. If your animal does not eat the wet food, we will provide chicken and rice in an attempt to get your pet to eat.
