Unlike a standard boarding kennel our lodge provides guest with several kinds of beds, blankets, feeding & water dishes. Holistic treats are provided through-out the day along with nightly turn down choices like pup-corn with a Disney movie. See FAQ for What do I need to bring besides my dog?
We need written proof of Rabies vaccination, no tags. See below for NY State Rabies Waivers - We have upgraded our software to allow for us to scan your vaccination records and attach a copy to your dogs profile.  Thus you will be asked to bring a paper copy of your shot records, even for long time boarders or you may scan and email your vet records directly to us PRIOR to being accepted for boarding or daycare camp. The 1st time you board your pet provide proof of having had a Parvo & Distemper vaccination within your dogs lifetime.  NOTE: We do not require K9 Cough/Bordatella.
See link

 If you plan to have your dog vaccinated for Bordatella or Canine Cough, we have a 10 day waiting period following the intra-nasal injection.    Please arrange for any inoculations well in advance of your dog's arrival date or we may not be able to accept your pet.

Here is the Vaccination Guidelines for Cats and Dogs

 DVD from the Safer Pet Vaccination Benefit Seminar
Do you know what the world's top vaccination experts know about vaccinating your pet? That is, what vaccines are really necessary, and when? And what vaccines are NOT needed and may needlessly subject your pet to the possibility of a dangerous vaccine reaction? The Safer Pet Vaccination Seminar, held in mid- 2010 for pet lovers, pet professionals andveterinarians, addressed vaccination and adverse reactions in dogs and cats with a short section on horses.  A video of the event is finally available. I have no invested interest but in education for your animals. Purchase Online http://dogs4dogs.com/saferpet

Rabies Exemptions and Waivers
Feel free to call me personally, Deana Wolfe, to discuss any vaccine concerns.  Rabies Vaccination is required by law though NY State allows your vet to complete a waiver.  Please print and discuss with your vet should you have an ill elderly or immune compromised pet(s).   http://www.agmkt.state.ny.us/ai/vetpage/Rabies%20Exempt%20Form.pdf
