Our Pet Boarding Policy

We have established the following guidelines to ensure a healthy and happy environment for your pets while they stay with us:

VACCINE REQUIREMENTS FOR DOGS

1. DHPP required every three years in adult dogs

2. Bordetella: injectable vaccine is required annually; intranasal vaccine is required every 6 months.

3. Rabies required annually for puppies, and every 3 years for adults

VACCINE REQUIREMENTS FOR CATS

1. FVRCP required every three years in adult cats

2. Rabies required every 1 to 3 years in adult cats

We do not recommend boarding puppies and kittens less than four months of age as their immune systems are not fully developed.

WE WILL ACCEPT PROOF OF VACCINATION FROM ANOTHER VETERINARY HOSPITAL, HOWEVER OWNER AND BREEDER ADMINISTERED VACCINES ARE NOT ACCEPTED AS THERE IS NO CONTROL OF THE HANDLING OR METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION TO ENSURE VACCINE EFFECTIVENESS.

PLEASE CALL US FOR DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING

OUR VACCINE REQUIREMENTS FOR YOUR PET AT (425)746-1800

Companion Animal Hospital requires that all animals that stay in our pet boarding facility be a patient of Companion Animal Hospital. Being a patient is defined as having had a complete physical exam by one of our veterinarians within the past 12 months*.

This exam is required to be done prior to the animal being admitted to the boarding facility, with the owner present, and it is strongly recommended that previous veterinary records also be provided. The cost for this service is $52.00.

This policy accomplishes the following:

We will have a personal relationship with all clients and patients that use our boarding facility
We will know the health status of every pet that uses our boarding facility, and will be aware of their medical history and any current medical problems, allowing us to better care for them.
The clients will know us and our doctors, understand our philosophy and our policies, and will be aware of and understand our boarding requirements and fees.

We are sorry for any inconvenience to those of you that use us as a boarding facility only. We believe that this is in the best interest of all of the animals in our care. We feel this is a minimal requirement and hope our valued boarding clients understand the need for these changes and will comply to help us take better care of their pets.

Thank you from the Doctors and Staff at Companion Animal Hospital

Special Diets

Boarding Policy Changes Effective January 5, 2009

At Companion Animal Hospital we strive to provide the best care for your pet in the most cost effective way possible to our clients. With the skyrocketing cost of pet food ingredients, the pet food manufacturers have been forced to pass this increase on to the veterinarians, pet stores and consumers in order to maintain the high quality of foods they make for our pets. Because of these rising costs and in order to keep our boarding fees reasonable, we will be feeding only the Purina Pro Plan Adult or the Purina EN diets to all of the pets in our boarding facility. Beginning on January 5, 2008, all pets with special dietary needs or those on a prescription diet will need to have that food provided for them by the owner. We apologize for any inconvenience, but believe this is the best way we can continue to provide boarding services for your pet without significant increases in our fees. Thank you!
