Hi neighbors!
As you all are likely aware, the Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act (PACFA) now requires groomers to have proof of vaccines for animals that we service. This is a state wide mandate for all groomers, whether they are mobile, in home, or at a salon. Unless your pet has a medical reason they cannot get vaccinated and you can provide a licensed veterinarian signed letter, there are no exceptions to this.
You cannot provide a titer test as a substitute for vaccinating. You cannot write a letter yourself stating that you just don't want to. All vaccines must have a clear expiration date and be able to provide a serial number, if you vaccinate at home. And yes, we do have the right to call your veterinarian to verify or ask for records. We have personally asked PACFA all of these questions.
All dogs must be current on distemper/parvo, which is shortened to DAPP, and rabies. All cats must be current on distemper/upper respiratory, which is shortened to FVRCP, and rabies. That means all animals must be current on two vaccines, not just rabies.
Again, there are absolutely no exceptions to this. We have already gotten a violation for incomplete records.
We have been very understanding about this with you, but we really need compliance from you on this. We are a family run business, this is the entire livelihood for me and my family. We cannot continue business with you otherwise.
Thank you to those who have been understanding and cooperative. We really appreciate you!
