At the cozy Robinwood Kennel in Highland Heights, KY, your pet is treated like family. With their warm, country-like atmosphere, the family-owned pet boarding business aims to give your pets a home away from home. Before you check your furry friend into the kennel, though, make sure his or her vaccinations are up to date.

These vaccinations are beneficial for the health and safety of your pet, as well as the other pets on the premises. Animals in kennels share close quarters with each other, but all come from different households. Therefore, there's an increased risk of illness or infection that must be addressed before your pet is admitted into a pet boarding facility. Different pets require various types of vaccinations.

Highland Heights Pet Boarding

Dogs must undergo a series of vaccinations. These standard vaccines include rabies, canine hepatitis, canine parvovirus, and distemper. Dogs may also receive 9-way vaccines, a form of protection for dogs that are nine weeks of age and older. Depending on whether you live in an area heavily populated by ticks, veterinarians may also provide lyme vaccines. While there is some discussion surrounding the necessity of the bordetella vaccine (which is administered to prevent kennel cough, a contagious upper respiratory condition), it's a smart move for a dog that is being placed in a pet daycare facility.

Proper cat grooming is an essential part of owning a feline, but caring for your pet extends far beyond the aesthetics. A cat requires several core vaccinations, including feline distemper, rabies, feline herpes virus type I, and feline calicivirus. Similar to dog vaccinations, certain cat vaccines may be administered depending on life circumstances, such as location or exposure to certain elements.

Robinwood Kennel's ultimate goal is to provide your pet with a safe, loving environment in which to thrive while their owners are away. There's an open, airy exercise space for dogs to roam, run, and sniff at their content. The pet boarding facility also offers grooming services for cats and dogs.
