We reserve the right to refuse boarding at drop off to pets with signs of illness, injury, contagious skin conditions, fleas/ticks or recent signs of infestation, out of date vaccination records, medical conditions that should be managed by a veterinarian's care or aggression.

• We will need a copy of your pet's current Rabies, DHPP and Bordetella vaccinations. (There are several versions of the DHPP. It may appear as a similar acronym on the documentation provided by the veterinarian.)

Titer results showing acceptable immunity for Rabies and Parvo are accepted.

The Canine Influenza (CIV) vaccination for both H3N2 & H3N8 strains is recommended, especially for geriatric or "flat nose" (brachycephalic) breeds. It is fairly new problem in Alabama and vaccination is the best prevention. Please contact your veterinarian for more details.

Vaccination information may be uploaded using the link below or sent using the email address: INFO@MontevalloDoghouse.com.

It is best for the owner to contact the veterinarian for records. Some animal clinics no longer release vaccination records without the written consent of the owner.

For Dogs, we are happy to administer supplements, sprays, ointments and prescribed medications. (For information regarding sedatives, please scroll to SEDATIVES section.) There is not a charge for providing medication. Please bring the original prescription containers with dosage instructions if providing a pill box. This will help should your trip be delayed and provides us with the prescribing veterinarians information if needed. ~~WE DO NOT PROVIDE INJECTIONS~~

If you are dropping your pet off sedated for the car ride, please let us know. Some sedatives have withdrawal and we need to be aware if a strange behavior is a problem or merely withdrawal.

We do not recommend sedating a pet just for boarding purposes if they are not normally needed for their day to day activities.

We will provide prescription sedatives brought by the owner and prescribed by a veterinarian. Medication will only be provided to the name of the pet on the label. Please keep sedatives in the original container from the prescribing veterinarian.

If you would like your pet to receive a type of CBD, please provide instructions regarding when and how you would like them used. We do not considered this prescription medication.

As dogs become older, they become more confused with new schedules and surroundings. Because of this, we no longer board new dog guests more than twelve-years old or dog guests we have not seen in over two years that are now over twelve-years old.

If we have been fortunate enough to see your pet through the years and they are over twelve-years old, we will do our best to keep them as comfortable as possible. If a geriatric pet shows signs they are no longer comfortable in a boarding environment, we will let you know they may need another alternative for boarding for their next stay. (Please note, pets need to be under their own mobility to board.)

Pets should be six months of age to board.

This assures their immune system is fully developed. They will also be less stressed and more comfortable adapting to environments outside their home.

New male dog guests more than one-year old will need to be neutered.

Clients that have visited prior January 1, 2023 are waived.

A letter from the veterinarian or breeder's contract will be accepted for exemption if the dog needs to remain intact due to a medical condition, delay for growth, or contract requirements.

If your pet has a strange skin condition that could appear contagious, please bring a veterinarian note stating it is not or is no longer contagious. We reserve the right to refuse guests with conditions that appear contagious at check-in.

Please be certain pets are up to date on flea and tick preventative. If fleas and/or ticks are found on your pet during their stay, a spot on treatment will be provided for an additional charge.

We no longer accept human aggressive dogs.

If your pet must be muzzled to be dropped off for their stay, we will be unable to board your pet.
