ATTENTION PET PARENTS: NEW WELLNESS REQUIREMENTS:
All Daycare & Boarding Guests must be on active Flea & Heartworm Prevention to maintain a safe, healthy, and itch-free environment for all of our furry guests, effective immediately, all dogs attending daycare or boarding must be up-to-date on monthly flea and heartworm preventatives. Before your pet’s next scheduled stay, please provide proof of prevention or confirm your current medication schedule at check-in.
⚠️ Why This Matters for Shared spaces when dogs play, rest, and share outdoor spaces together, parasites can spread easily. Keeping every guest on a prevention plan protects your dog, preserves a clean facility, and ensures no one brings home unwanted "hitchhikers".🦟 1. The Critical Importance of Heartworm PreventionThe Threat: Heartworms are transmitted by a single mosquito bite. Just one infected mosquito entering our indoor or outdoor play zones can put unprotected dogs at risk.The Impact: Unlike surface pests, heartworms live inside your dog's heart and lungs, causing permanent organ damage and life-threatening illness.The Solution: Consistent, monthly preventative medications are highly effective and kill immature larvae before they can grow into dangerous adult worms.🪰 2. The Critical Importance of Flea PreventionThe Threat: Fleas are highly contagious surface parasites that jump quickly from pet to pet during close contact and group play.The Impact: An infestation causes painful scratching, skin infections, hair loss, and allergic reactions. Furthermore, fleas rapidly lay eggs that can contaminate the shared environment.The Solution: Continuous flea control stops adult bugs from biting and prevents eggs or larvae from developing in shared bedding and play yards.
