__________________________
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:
Starting mid December we have reports of (11) confirmed cases of Canine Cough (positive for Mycoplasma). All 11 cases had attended daycare week of 12/08/20 through 12/30/20. When calling in to report illness, please have this information available.
When did your dog's symptoms start? What are your dog's symptoms? Was your dog seen by the Vet? What course of treatment is your Vet prescribing for your dog? Does your dog have a fever? When was your dog's last vaccines given?
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.
