           Kennel Concerns

• Usually want all boarders to have rabies and the core vaccinations.
• Usually want dogs to have a bordetella vaccination as well.
• Some kennels require a canine influenza vaccination as well.
  
• Some kennels may have more requirements. Please contact your boarding kennel or groomer to find out what they require.
