HEALTH AND SAFETY

• All dogs must be in good health and must not have been exposed to any contagious or communicable illnesses within a 30 day period prior to check in. This includes both boarding and daycare. Barking Hound Village will not allow admission of any guests that have a terminal illness or are in the late stages of that illness. We also are unable to board diabetic or epileptic dogs as they require care that we cannot provide. It is strongly recommended that they be placed under the care of a licensed veterinarian.
• Dogs must weigh a minimum of 10lbs and be 4 months of age or older.
• Only spayed and neutered dogs are accepted with the exception of puppies younger than 6 months.
• Due to the communal nature of our playgroups/ boarding we cannot accept Dogo Argentino, Pit Bull, Bull Terrier, AmStaff Terrier or any predominate mix of these breeds. Additional behavioral screening may be required for power breeds and bully breeds.
• Dogs are pack animals and play with teeth and paws. Therefore, even under supervision, nicks and scrapes can occur. In the event of a serious injury, we will contact you immediately. If the injury is minor, we will advise you at the time of departure.
• A copy of updated shot records from your veterinarian is required, including Rabies, DHLP, PARVO, fecal and Bordetella (kennel cough). The vaccination is not 100% effective in preventing kennel cough and is simply a preventative. Kennel cough is a risk associated with boarding and daycare.
