Health Updates


Required Vaccinations:  Distemper combination (DHPP), Rabies and Bordetella.  ALL vaccines must be given 2 weeks before arriving!    Canine Influenza vaccination is highly recommended and is a 2 series injection so talk with your Vet about the appropriate time frame to be given before boarding.  Please discuss with your Vet of the risks, effectiveness,  and side effects of vaccines.

ALL dogs MUST have a annual fecal check (Daycampers required twice a year).   ALL dogs MUST be on an intestinal parasite control as well flea & tick control.  

         You play a very important role in keeping our facility "healthy".  Keep your pet up-to-date on his/her vaccinations and know the proper vaccination schedule. Do NOT bring your dog into the Resort if he/she is experiencing any symptoms of coughing, clearing of the throat repeatedly, nasal discharge, eye discharge, upset stomach, or diarrhea.  You would not send your child to school sick so please keep your furkid home if he/she is not feeling well.  We will check your dog for fleas upon check in and will notify you if your pet has fleas and a plan for treatment.  Thank you!
 
               Health Update for April 2020 
*Symptoms are defined as "Contagious" if we have Vet diagnosed communicable illness or observations of multiple pets coming down with similar symptoms, whether through direct or airborne contact*.  Health update is provided to you by our observations of any illness and/or fellow pet parents that report any signs of illness upon the pet returning home from the Resort. If any Health concerns are listed, the date of exposure and warning will be removed 10 - 14 days after initial illness observed or reported if no further cases are confirmed.   This Health Update does NOT include Grooming or Training services due to the nature of the services (visit time and exposure).  It is the Parent responsibility to view the Health Update on an ongoing basis.  

Boarding:  

Boarding closed until further notice.  Call 717-397-0726 with any questions.

  We observed a few guests having issues with bowel changes after arriving, so please talk to your Vet about Gastrointestinal support for your dog while boarding.      

~ If your dog is sensitive to change and prone to having change of bowels, please speak to your Vet about preventative care for your pet. 

 __________________________

 Due to the nature of upper respiratory infections, we cannot take in pets that are exhibiting coughing, sneezing, and/or eye discharge and will need an Owner or caregiver to come and pick up any pet that is coughing or showing signs of upper respiratory congestion.  We know this is an inconvenience to the Parent, but a necessary part of keeping our other guests healthy.  http://www.oscarspetresort.com/policies.asp  Once or twice a year we see strains of coughing/colds pass around Lancaster.  We do our best to keep our Boarding & Daycare clients educated if we hear or see any dogs becoming ill with coughing symptoms.  Dogs can be carriers and not show symptoms, therefore passing the illness to other dogs unknowingly.  If you visit any pet care facility, vet office, dog park, local dog events, and any pet store, your dog is at risk.   No vet bill will be reimbursed for any contagious illness due to the nature of contagious dog illnesses.

Daycare: 

Daycare closed until further notice.  Please call 717-397-0726 with any questions.

Reminder to make sure your daycamper has had his/her bi-annual fecal check completed.  Make sure your daycamper is on intestinal parasite control program by your Vet.  Thank you!

 PLEASE parents be diligent to keep your dog home if experiencing any eye or nose discharge or coughing/clearing of their throat.      If ill with any of these symptoms parents must keep their dog home from daycare for two weeks.
