🐾 An Important Update from Waggz n Whiskerz 🐾
At Waggz n Whiskerz, the safety of our pets, clients, and staff will always come first.
As many of you know, Georgia has strict rabies vaccination requirements for dogs and cats. Under Georgia Code § 31-19-5, pets are required to be vaccinated against rabies by a licensed veterinarian.
Because of this, we will be strictly enforcing our rabies vaccination policy moving forward.
Effective immediately:
✔️ All pets must have a current rabies vaccination on file before any grooming services can be provided.
✔️ If your pet's rabies vaccination has expired, even by one day, an updated rabies vaccination will be required before your appointment.
This policy is not meant to be inconvenient—it is meant to protect everyone. Rabies is a fatal viral disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans and other animals through bites or exposure to infected saliva. Once symptoms appear, rabies is almost always fatal. Keeping pets vaccinated is one of the most effective ways to prevent the spread of this deadly disease.
In a grooming salon, pets and people share the same environment every day. An unvaccinated pet can create a serious health risk not only for our staff but also for every other pet in our care.
We love each and every member of the Waggz family, and we appreciate your understanding as we do our part to keep our salon safe, healthy, and compliant with Georgia law.
Thank you for helping us protect our pack. ❤️
