IN THE FOLLOWING TERMS & CONDITIONS OF BOARDING, glenview KENNELS are REFERRED TO AS “gVK” AND THE OWNER OF THE PET OR PETS, TO BE BOARDED ARE REFERRED TO AS “THE OWNER”.

Terms & Conditions of Boarding

1. Vaccination details

1.1.       All pets boarded must be fully vaccinated, and proof of the vaccination must be proven via a vaccination certificate or copy of such sent by email.

1.2.       Failure to provide a valid vaccination certificate for each pet will prevent them from boarding.

1.3.       This must show a booster vaccination having taken place within the last 12 months and signed off by a qualified Veterinary Surgeon. The certificate must show the booster having been administered as part of a course of vaccinations.

1.4.       Dog Vaccinations must safeguard against the following diseases: Distemper, Parvovirus, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis and Parainfluenza.

1.5.       All dogs must have a current Kennel Cough (Infectious Tracheobronchitis) vaccination.

1.6.       Your dog must have this at least 2 weeks prior to arrival at kennels. This is NOT part of your annual booster vaccination.  If you are in any doubt, kennel cough vaccines can be identified on your vaccination card/certificate as ‘Nobivac KC’, ‘Bronchishield’ or ‘Canigen KC’ (which lasts for 12 months). This is caused by an airborne infection and thus outside the control of GVK.

1.7.       GVK will never knowingly accept a dog with the condition, but as incubation can exceed 10 days it may not be detectable prior to arrival. The owner therefore accepts that this hazard exists, especially at busy times.

2. Medical Record

2.1.       If an animal has a medical condition of any sort, we must be notified at the time of booking.

2.2.       If we have not been notified of such a condition or course of medication, we reserve the right to refuse admission.
