We partner with you to keep your pets healthy throughout the year
At Golden Paws Pet Resort & Spa, the health and safety of your pets are our top priority, so we want to share some of the precautions we take and what you can do to keep all pets healthy now and throughout the year.
What We Do
We never stop cleaning! As standard practice, we use the industry’s best practices for thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting enclosures, bedding, bowls, common areas, and play areas multiple times per day.
We maintain proper humidity levels, air circulation, and ventilation to eliminate the spread of bacteria and viruses.
We conduct a thorough pre-entry wellness check for each dog to ensure that we do not accept any dogs who show signs of respiratory illness, including a runny nose, sneezing, or cough. In the event we observe any of these symptoms upon check-in, we will not accept the dog. At the same time, we ask that pet parents not bring dogs to Social Pet Hotel if any of these symptoms are present.
We routinely monitor all consumption, elimination, behavior, and each pet’s overall health each day and notate any changes in the pet’s file. If we see a runny nose, hear a cough, or suspect any sort of illness, we contact the pet parents. If we cannot reach a pet parent or secondary contact, we will not hesitate to seek veterinary attention for the pet.
We require all pets to have up-to-date vaccinations, including Rabies, Destemper/Parvo combo, and Bordetella, and we highly recommend the Canine Influenza vaccine.
While we always hope to have the pleasure of providing all your pet care needs, we encourage you to select one pet care facility as your pet’s “home-away-from-home” and avoid switching back and forth between two or more facilities since this can put all dogs at risk. Even if your pet doesn’t become ill during this process, they may be exposed to an illness and carry it to another facility.
Stay up to date on vaccinations and try to ensure your dog is vaccinated one to two weeks before playing with other dogs. This practice helps prevent the spread of anything dogs may have been exposed to at the veterinarian’s office and prevents any chance of viral shedding from the vaccinations received.
Keep your dog very active, since just like humans, the extra activity helps promote and maintain a lifetime of good health and happiness for your furry family member.
We are thrilled to provide a safe and fun place for your pets to stay, play, train, as well as receive a variety of spa services too! If you have any questions, please contact us at 609.259.1900.
