Boarding Kennels

Vaccinations

At Usk boarding kennels, only fully vaccinated dogs are boarded. We require dogs to be annually vaccinated by their vets. The main vaccination required covers distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, leptospirosis and parainfluenza. We also require the vaccine against infections bronchitis (kennel cough), Intrac covers your pet for 6 months & Nobivac KC lasts 12 months in duration. Please advise your veterinary surgeon that this is required. When puppies have completed their full course of vaccines they are welcome to board after 4 weeks have passed (after the last vaccine injection.)

*Please be aware that if you let your dog's vaccinations go overdue it can take up to a month to get them up to date to be able to board again.

*Please ensure your dogs kennel cough vaccine is in date before arrival, if your dog requires a kennel cough vaccine or if it is due to run out! ensure that their kennel cough is administered at least 14 days before the day of arrival.

*If your dog has been administered the kennel cough vaccination within 14 days of arrival your dog will not be allowed to board at the kennels under Monmouthshire Licensing conditions!
