Yes, for the health and safety of your pet(s) as well as our other guests and staff we verify all our visitors are current on the following vaccinations. (If you’re visiting the Tahoe area, please be sure we have verification of your pet’s vaccinations prior to your arrival.)
For dogs:
Rabies
Distemper and Parvovirus: distemper, hepatitis, parvo, and parainfluenza per your veterinarian’s protocol. (May be listed as DHPP or DHLPP on your pet’s medical record when administered as a combination vaccine.)
Bordetella: (6 month or 1 year vaccine accepted) Bordetella prevents against some strains of Canine Cough and Truckee-Tahoe Pet Lodge does everything possible to reduce the risk of your pet getting Canine Cough. However, the vaccine does not prevent against all strains, and just like the human flu, there is always a risk when in an environment with many dogs.
Canine Influenza: Until recently, the Canine Influenza Virus (CIV) was not present in our geographical area of the country though it was prevalent in many other areas. The virus is now showing up in Northern California and Nevada, so we do now strongly recommend that our guests be vaccinated for CIV. More information on CIV can be found here. If you have concerns about CIV, we recommend you discuss them with your vet.
For cats:
Rabies
FVRCP
