Good Dog's Precautions

We value you and your dog. Your dog’s health is very important to us. The following are precautions we take to provide the cleanest and healthiest environment for your dog:

  1. Require proof that all dogs are current on the following vaccines: Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella.
  2. Require all dogs to be on some kind of Flea and Tic Program
  3. Disinfect Pens Daily
  4. Daily Air Disinfectant
  5. Air-Purifier in each room.
  6. Stress Reducer Panels
  7. Steel bowls
  8. Outside Fenced Yards
  9. Lots of Love and Hugs for stress reducers

Proof of Shots We require all new and regular clients to provide copies of current vaccines that include: Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella. Bordetella is a vaccine to help prevent kennel cough. What is kennel cough? (See excerpt on Kennel Cough) Did you know that there are at least 16 different strains of kennel cough and that the vaccine only protects against one strain of kennel cough? So, even though every dog is current on shots and vaccines there is still a possibility that your dog may catch kennel cough.

Flea and Tic Program We recommend and use Frontline Plus. Frontline Plus kills fleas, flea eggs, ticks, and chewing lice. It kills ticks including those that may transmit Lyme disease. It is waterproof.

Disinfect Pens Daily Our inside dog rooms are cleaned daily. We disinfect each pen with bleach and detergent.

Daily Air Disinfect We daily spray the room with Wintergreen-256. It is a Disinfectant, Mildewstat, Virucide, Deodorizer that is used for Veterinary, Kennel, Equine facilities.

Air-Purifier: We have purchased one of the best Air-Purifiers to keep your dog healthy, the NQ Clarifier Standard Commercial Model with UV. The product description is as follows: “This is a serious air purifier when you need a serious job done. The American manufactured NQ Clarifier does not compromise the quality of its internal parts. The efficiency of its HEPA filter is among the best that we have ever tested, and can last 4-5 years. The NQ Clarifier copes with the needs of people for whom clean air is not just a pleasant choice, but is critical to support their lives. It is an excellent choice for multiple chemical sufferers. The Clarifier has very fast clean air delivery rates at high speed with over 90% efficiency at each pass. Therefore, they are especially useful for critical filtration of microorganisms, viruses, and bacteria, and cover up to 1200 sq. ft. depending on the model chosen. The huge amount of coconut fill carbon handles a variety of noxious odors and gases.”

Stress Reducer Panels Solid wall panels are between many pens to reduce visual stimulation, provides safer den feeling for dogs, and reduces inside dog-to-dog barking.

Steel Bowls Steel Bowls for sterilization

Outside Fenced yards Dogs are rotated outside from morning through the evening. Outside the dogs have the opportunity to potty, play, or just hang-out. Most dogs coming to our facility are in-door dogs that go outside to potty, having the opportunity to go outside and relieve themselves reduces the risk of urinary infections. Dogs on concrete only have the tendency to delay potting as long as possible which increases the risk of infections. Also, outside, dogs here have time to play and exercise. Exercise keeps them happy, their body tired, reduces boredom, and reduces stress.

Lots of Love and Hugs We pamper the dogs that come to our facility. We treat your pet as ours. Our dogs in care are rotated outside through out the day, that means we are seeing your dog, talking to your dog, touching and petting your dog many times during the day. Our constant care, talking, and touching helps reduce stress in your dog.
