Vaccination Policy

E-mail Print PDF
VaccinationSummary of Requirements
  • Rabies (in accordance with your state's law)
  • Canine Distemper/Parvo Yearly (until 3 years of age)
  • Canine Distemper/Parvo Every 3 Years (after 4 years of age)
  • Bordatella (Kennel Cough) Every 6 Months

We do NOT accept Titers.  It is the OWNER's responsibility to provide Proof of Vaccination at EACH stay.

It is the OWNER's responsibility to provide proof of vaccination EACH time your pet enters our facility. We will not board any dog without adequate proof of vaccination, so please read this policy carefully.

NOTICE: We have updated our previous policy from 2004. The only change from our previous policy is that we will now accept the parvo vaccine every three years after the dog reaches four years of age instead of yearly.  This means that your three year distemper/parvo vaccine is acceptable by our requirements without additional boosting of the parvo vaccine yearly.

The following is our current Vaccination Policy:

If your pet has an immune mediated disease that prohibits these vaccinations you must present to Woodcrest Kennel LLC a letter, written by your veterinarian on his/her hospital letterhead including their signature, regarding your pet’s health condition and the medical reasons why vaccinations are contraindicated for that health condition.

It is important that you understand this policy is designed to protect the health and safety of your pet and all pets boarded at Woodcrest Kennel LLC. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at (603) 353-4720.

Service Testimonials

"Jay is totally supportive of the needs of our dog and us as a family. When we had a family emergency, Jay met us on the way to the airport to pick up our dogs. He buys special diet food if they need it, and even takes them to his personal home if they need special support. The kennel is very clean and quiet. And our dogs don't come home wired like they did from other boarding kennels." -Thomas Schwaab, M.D.
