Service Agreement between Pet Parent(s) and Little Dogs Resort and Salon, Inc.
Vaccinations
I understand that dogs, like humans, are susceptible to various strains of viruses and other illnesses. I also understand that because there are many strains of viruses, vaccinations are not always effective. I understand that much depends on a dog’s immune system, exposure to other dogs, age, stress and nutritional status. I also understand that Little Dogs Resort and Salon, Inc. requires written records from your veterinarian of Bordetella every 12 months and current rabies and DHLPP+C (distemper combo) for all boarding and daycare pets.
I understand that I must present written documentation of current immunizations and agree to ADVANTAGE application or I will not be permitted to leave my dog at the facility. The only exception is if I agree to have the vaccinations administered to my dog(s) during their stay at the facility.
Advantage Flea and Tick
To protect my dog(s) from fleas, lice, ticks and/or other parasites, I agree to application of ADVANTAGE Topical Solution. Initial application will be upon arrival for all boarding and daycare dogs. Advantage application has no contraindications and is effective within 12 hours. Reapplication will be on a monthly basis. The only exception to this policy will be if Advantage has been applied within one week prior to arrival at Little Dogs Resort or the dog is less than 7 weeks old and over 5 pounds. Little Dogs Resort will track application and reapplication dates’, thus assuring each dog is protected at all times. Any evidence of infestation will be reported to the pet parent, along with instructions on follow-up care. A fee for this service will be included on the invoice on departure.

Medications and/or treatments are administered as per the instructions provided by the Pet Parent’s Veterinarian. Pet Parents must provide any medication and/or treatment supplies in original packaging with written instruction from the Veterinarian.

If Pet Parent brings unlabeled medication or treatment supplies, Pet Parent will be required to sign an additional Unlabeled Medication Waiver and Little Dog’s Resort will confirm with your Veterinarian prior to administering any medications or treatment supplies.
Only Pet Parent(s) or previously designated person whose name has been provided to Little Dogs Resort and Salon staff in advance may pick up pets from Little Dogs Resort and Salon.
