Keeping the pets of our community safe and healthy is our top priority, which is why we ask our clients for proof of certain vaccinations. We require distemper, rabies, influenza, and Bordetella for dogs, and distemper, leukemia, rabies, and Bordetella for cats​. If you are unable to provide documentation, we can provide any necessary vaccinations.
