At Tails On Trails, the wellbeing of every guest is our top priority. To ensure a safe and healthy environment for all, we require up-to-date vaccinations for: Bordetella (Kennel Cough) · Distemper · Rabies

All dogs must also be treated with a flea and tick

preventative at least 48 hours prior to arrival.

Please note: it is the owner’s responsibility to keep vaccination records current and on file with us.

All vaccines must be administered no less than 3 days before your scheduled visit.

​​

​

Vaccinations are crucial for your dog's health and safety. Bordetella protects against Kennel Cough, a highly contagious respiratory illness common in group settings. Distemper guards against a viral disease that affects the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and nervous systems. Rabies vaccination is essential as it prevents a fatal neurological disease that can be transmitted to other animals and humans. Keeping these vaccinations up-to-date ensures your dog's well-being and the safety of all our guests.

At Tails On Trails, we’re committed to providing a serene,

well-balanced environment for every dog.

​

Daycare: For the comfort and safety of all our guests,

dogs over 6 months of age must be spayed or neutered to play at Tails On Trails.
