The Dog Gone Place Safety

Health & Safety

Ë You must provide written proof by your licensed veterinarian that your dog is up to date on shots and vaccinations.

Required shots include: DHLPPC, Rabies and Bordetella. The DHLPPC and Rabies shots need to be specified

as to whether they are a one- or a three-year shot. The Bordatella shot needs to be specified as to whether it is a
six month or one-year shot.

Ë Puppies must be at least six (6) months old.

Ë Only spayed and neutered dogs will be able to be accepted.

Ë All pets must be free of worms, fleas and ticks.

Ë Medications in pill or powder form will be administered and recorded free of charge. The medication must be provided in
its original container. No injections will be given.

Ë We apologize for not being able to accept any pet that has stitches, bandages, a head cone, splint or diarrhea.

Beginning this past December, Dog Gone Place started the practice of sending yellow Shot Reminder postcards to all of our customers. Because we are trying to give a little advance notice of expiring shots, they are sent out at the beginning of each month reminding the parents that their dog's shot(s) need to be updated by the end of the following month. They look like this:

Dear _________________________:

We, at Dog Gone Place, appreciate your past business. Because we want to make sure _______________ stays healthy, we
thought we would send you a little reminder about shots that would need to be updated before he visits us again.

According to our records, the following shots for _______________ have expired or will expire next month:

___________________________

We hope you and _______________ will visit us again real soon! Please don’t forget to bring the new
shot(s) record with you so we can update our files. Thanks so much.

And to further enhance our already safe environment, Deb Giehl, Manager, completed a Pet First Aid class sponsored by the American Red Cross. She hopes she never has to use this knowledge, but we feel it's better to be safe than sorry.
We're certain you will agree!
