All Citizen Canine guests must be vaccinated for Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella (annually) prior to boarding or attending daycare with us.
- Rabies is required every 3 years by law.
- Distemper/Parvovirus boosters or titers are required every 3 years, or according to your veterinarian’s recommendation.
- Bordetella is an intranasal vaccine for canine cough that should be administered at minimum 7 days prior to boarding. We require Bordetella vaccines be updated annually, but many veterinarians recommend vaccinating every 6 months if your dog is in regular social contact with other dogs. Similar to a flu shot, this vaccine covers only a few strains of canine cough and is not a guarantee of immunity.
Please provide us with copies of your dog’s vaccination records or ask your vet to fax them to us at (510) 562-0132. Many dogs have two guardians with different last names. Please make sure the owner name on your vet records matches the owner name on our client records.
