Mystery Illness Update 11/21/23:

Dear K9cation Clients and Pups,
As you have heard, there is a canine respiratory virus that has affected some dogs across the nation with some cases in South Metro Colorado. We are aware and following this situation closely and are taking increased precautions here at K9cation to keep your furry family members as safe as possible. 

 

We have spoken with our local veterinarian experts and they have said they have no current cases of kennel cough, nor have they seen the mystery illness that is being tracked.  Our local vets are recommending that you avoid unvaccinated areas such as dog parks and apartment complex play yards and increase your dog's general hygiene practices by ensuring your dog is current on their vaccines.  According to our veterinarians the dogs that are most at risk are the unvaccinated, dogs with weakened immunity, senior or young pups, and those dogs that never go to dog boarding or daycare.  As you know, viruses are invisible and we must all do our part to keep our furry family and friends safe.  At K9cation we require vaccines and do not accept any dogs that have symptoms of illness.  One recommendation from our local vet to help protect your dog is to consider adding K9 Influenza vaccine to your dog's immunizations, the most effective being the bivalent vaccine that covers for both strains H3N2 & H3N8.

 

Each day we disinfect surfaces with a veterinary grade disinfectant that fights against bacteria, virus, and fungus. We also sanitize and freshen our communal waters regularly.  Further, as always, we are evaluating each camper at drop-off for any signs of illness including but not limited to: cough, runny nose, eye discharge, diarrhea, vomiting, or any signs of your pet not feeling their best. DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG IF IT HAS HAD ANY SYMPTOMS OF ILLNESS. We will not accept any dog that has shown any symptom especially a cough within the last 72 hours. If a dog exhibits symptoms of illness during their stay, they will be immediately separated from any other dog and an owner/emergency contact will be notified to come pick the dog up immediately. 

 

Please ensure your client profile is complete with your vaccination records, and your current emergency contact that will be able to pick your pet up same-day. You can update this information in our app, by calling/texting 720-546-7837 or at drop off. Again, if we see any symptoms we will immediately contact you and ask to have the emergency contact pick up your dog, or we will work with you to seek medical attention for your dog. 

​

Please Note:  Always contact your veterinarian for medical advice. This information is for general information purposes only and is not intended to diagnose any illness or take the place of professional medical advice from your veterinarian. 

​

We love all of our campers and want everyone happy and healthy when they come to play!  We value your trust in us to care for your furbaby and we will continue to do everything we can to keep your dog safe.

 

Thank you for your trust in each of us at K9cation.
