Canine Influenza Protection Measures

Click the arrow to watch an important video message.

Canine Cough and Canine Influenza

Canine Cough, or "Kennel Cough", is a general term used to describe a number of viral or bacterial illnesses that cause a cough in dogs.  The severity varies by virus or infection.  Canine Influenza is a virus that is very contagious and aggressive in nature.  


The Bordetella vaccine helps to protect your pet from "kennel cough", but even vaccinated pets can catch a strain of the illness that the vaccine does not cover.  


Canine Influenza has 2 predominant strains, H3N2 and H3N8.   CIV H3N2 is the current strain being seen in our area, and vaccination is required!  You dog may still catch the virus, but having the vaccine will lessen the severity and will prevent pneumonia. Canine Influenza is NOT currently a "core vaccine" and was probably not included in your pet's routine inoculations.  You have to ask for the "dog flu" vaccine.


****** IMPORTANT******


ALL GUESTS MUST BE VACCINATED FOR CIV H3N2 AT LEAST 5-7 DAYS PRIOR TO BOARDING.  Pets without proof of vaccination will not be accepted at check in!


Hospital Grade Filtration System

Rensair 330

In an effort to maintain the healthiest environment possible, we have installed two Rensair air filtration systems in the kennel.  These hospital-grade units have a unique combination of HEPA and UVC filtration that traps and destroys particles, viruses and bacteria.  They will completely filter, purify and replace the air in the kennel every 34 minutes.
