Diabetic Boarding Consent Form

All cats and dogs must be current on all vaccinations including Bordetella for boarding admission. Please note that we require your animal to be vaccinated for kennel cough at least once a year but we do recommend that your animal receives this vaccine twice yearly to be completely protected. If your animal is not current on the Bordetella vaccine at least 7 days prior to entering the kennel for boarding and receives the vaccination when entering for boarding, they may still contract kennel cough. You will be responsible for any medical treatment that may be required as a result of this. 

All dogs boarded for 5 nights or more will receive a complimentary bath!!

If so, we are not responsible for any medical expenses due to destruction

Boarding a diabetic animal does come with risks. For an additional cost, we require the application of a continuous glucose monitor (FreeStyle Libre) while they are boarding. Some pets do not eat well in the kennel as they would at home and this can alter their insulin requirement. We will be able to identify any abnormalities and adjust therapy as indicated.
