- Why? Intestinal parasites can be easily picked up and deposited through contact with infected soil as well as fecal matter, contact with other animals, etc. In order to ensure that our environment stays parasite-free for your pet when they stay with us, we ask that your pet’s fecal matter be inspected regularly for parasites
- All dogs must be on monthly internal and external parasite prevention.
- Why? External parasites have the potential to contaminate our facility, thus putting other pets at risk. Veterinarian approved monthly preventions are the best means of keeping your pet parasite-free.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If your pet is found to have fleas, we will give a Capstar pill (oral tablet that kills fleas within 30 minutes) for an additional charge.
