Facts about Bordetella

* Bordetella, otherwise known as Kennel Cough, is an airborne upper respiratory infection similar to the common cold in humans. There are numerous strains of this disease and due to its airborne qualities, even the most current vaccination does not 100% protect your pet against them all.

Our strict sanitization policy includes daily disinfection of our Daycare areas, playground equipment, and toys with non-toxic and chemical-free disinfectants proven to kill Bordetella.

 After each use, our staff washes all blankets and bedding, and kennels are disinfected.

If bordetella is going around in Nelson (like cold season) we will put notices up so you can decide whether or not you want to keep your dog(s) home during that time.

* Puppies may be boarded or participate in daycare following their second Distemper/Parvo vaccination and their Rabies vaccination.
