MY PETS VETERINARIAN INFORMATION We take our pets to : My Primary Veterinarian Is Dr. Location: Phone: To keep all our pets safe and healthy, our vaccination, yearly physical exam, and negative fecal test requirements are listed below. You must include your pets vaccination record along with this packet. Please email your pets vaccination records to infostaynplay@wrightvet.com or have a copy of your pets vaccination record with you upon your scheduled evaluation. PLEASE NOTE: WVMC RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ENTRY INTO DAYCARE FOR PETS WHO DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION FOR THE REQUIRED VACCINATIONS, A CURRENT PHYSICAL EXAMINATION PERFORMED WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, APPEAR SICK UPON ADMISSION, OR FLEA INFESTED. Required Vaccinations and Testing information listed below and why they are required: Rabies Vaccination - Required by law and can be fatal to animals and humans Canine Distemper A virus that affects a dog s respiratory, gastrointestinal, respiratory and central nervous systems. Easily passed from dog to dog through direct contact with fresh urine, blood or saliva. Sneezing, coughing and sharing food and water bowls are all possible ways for the virus to be passed on. Canine Influenza - Canine influenza is transmitted from dog to dog by respiratory secretions (i.e. coughing, sneezing, and barking). All dogs are susceptible to the virus at any time but dogs in restricted spaces (like shelters, boarding kennels, day care, etc.) are at a much higher risk. (Must have a series of 2 vaccines completed) Bordetella The reason this disease seems so common, and is even named "Kennel Cough is that wherever there are numbers of dogs confined together in an enclosed environment, such as a kennel, animal shelter, or indoor dog show, the disease is much more likely to be spread. Conversely, if you plan to have your dog use boarding, grooming and daycare facilities, remember to vaccinate a few weeks prior to potential exposure to allow full protective immunity to build up. Fecal Examination Fecal tests determine if your pet has intestinal parasites such as roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, coccidia and giardia. Humans and pets can become exposed through contamination. Year round parasite control is highly recommended. Leptospirosis: Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, which means it can be spread from animals to people. Common risk factors for leptospirosis in dogs residing in the United States include exposure to wild animals, farm animal species, even if in the backyard; and contact with rodents or other dogs. Currently available vaccines effectively prevent leptospirosis and protect dogs for at least 12 months. Annual vaccination is recommended. Recommended but NOT Required: Lyme Vaccination: The first line of defense against Lyme (and all the other tick-borne diseases) is a rigorous tick control program that makes use of effective monthly spot-on products. The Lyme vaccine does not provide complete protection against the disease, but is still worth considering when the risk of infection is high.

The WVMC Day Care Team WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A DAYCARE EVALUATION FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is a daycare evaluation? We want to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all our pets in Daycare. An evaluation is given to assess your dog's social skills in a daycare group setting. The Daycare Evaluation is a one-day process to ensure that your pet has a personality suited for Daycare. The evaluation process is the first step to helping your pet have the social experience that will have him/her excited to come through our doors at every visit. What can I expect during this evaluation? We will review the application with you, and answer any questions you may have. You will leave your dog with us to get comfortable, and then we start to introduce your dog to some potential playmates. We will evaluate your dog's response to new environments, and behavior towards other dogs. We will make sure that your dog can be handled safely, and decide if your dog will be a good fit for our playgroup. Expect your dog to spend a minimum of 4 hours with us. Who performs the evaluations? The evaluations are performed by our trained daycare staff Can I just come in, or do I need an appointment? We do evaluations by appointment, so please schedule a day/time that works for your schedule We perform 2-3 evaluations per day only. This decreases the stress level for our regular daycare members. How much does it cost? This is a free assessment, and there is no charge to you. When will I know if my dog is a candidate? We will inform you after the evaluation. Please understand not all dogs are suited for group play, and we have other services that may be more suitable for your dog.
