Stay Safe, Stay Healthy
At Briggs Republic, the health and safety of all our furry guests are our top priorities. In compliance with the Illinois Department of Agriculture licensure, we require all dogs staying or playing at our facility to have up-to-date proof of immunizations on file. This ensures a safe and enjoyable environment for every pet under our care.
Required Vaccinations
To participate in any daycare or boarding activities at Briggs, dogs must be vaccinated against the following:
- Rabies
- Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
- DHLPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza)
We strongly recommend having these vaccinations on file at least four weeks prior to your pet's stay to verify that all records are current. This precaution helps avoid any last-minute frustrations and potential reservation cancellations, especially since some vaccines require completion at least two weeks before any stay.
Vaccination Exceptions
Under rare circumstances, and only with the expressed written authorization from a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM), we may consider exceptions to our vaccination requirements. Any exceptions are strictly evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The dog must be current on all vaccinations deemed necessary by the Department of Agriculture and their veterinarian and must be a well-established patient. Additionally, the lack of certain vaccines will influence the boarding arrangements for the dog, necessitating an individualized plan for their stay.
Ensuring a Safe Stay for Every Guest
By adhering to these health requirements, we help ensure that your dog enjoys their time at Briggs Republic without compromise to their health or the well-being of others. If you have any questions about our health policies or need further assistance with vaccination records, please do not hesitate to contact us.
