VACCINATIONS

Bark avenue pet salon & resort requires for the safety of our staff and the other pets in our care, pets to be up to date on vaccinations. We prefer them to be emailed before your 1st visit with us. If your appointment is on a weekend please ensure your veterinarian is open should we need to call and confirm your pets vaccinations to avoid a $35 cancellation fee.
We also accept titer testing if it is current within three years and must be emailed on letter head from your veterinarian. If your pet can no longer receive vaccinations we require a letter from your veterinarian stating that your pet is not able to be vaccinated due to medical reasons.

  • Dog vaccinations required: rabies, dhpp. Bordatella(highly recommended)
  • Cat vaccinations required: rabies, fvrcp
