NEW TO ULTIMUTT DOGCARE? EASY AS 1-2-3
STEP 1 - MEET REQUIREMENTS
Ultimutt Dog Care’s requirements are in place to ensure a safe and healthy environment for both pets and staff. Please note that it is best to administer vaccinations at least a few days before coming to Ultimutt Dog Care or any kennel. First, this gives the vaccination time to incubate and thus better protect your pet. Additionally, some pets may have negative reactions to vaccinations shortly after they are administered. We recommend having your vet fax or email vaccination records prior to your evaluation. You may also bring in a paper copy with you upon check-in.
Requirements for All Dogs (Grooming, Boarding, & Daycare):
+ Current on Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
+ At least 3 months old, although 4 months of age is encouraged for the health of your pet. All rounds of vaccinations must be completed prior to coming in. Puppies are still developing their immune systems at an early age, thus there is a slightly higher risk factor for young puppies in any kennel environment.
Additional Requirements for Boarding and Daycare Dogs:
+ Spayed or neutered if over 7 months
+ Must not exhibit aggressive behavior towards other dogs or people
+ Must play well and socialize well with other dogs
​
Cat Requirements (Grooming only):
+ Current on Rabies and FVRCP
STEP 3 - EVALUATION
All new boarding and daycare dogs come in for an evaluation day, which is simply a full day of daycare provided free of charge. During the evaluation, our trained staff will introduce your dog into the play environment and observe how he or she behaves in a social setting. This process not only helps us to ensure the safety and compatibility of all dogs visiting Ultimutt Dog Care, but acclimates your dog to our environment.
​
Evaluations are by appointment only. Please request a reservation using our online customer portal or contact us here. Once your dog passes the evaluation, you are free to book boarding and daycare reservations as needed!
