Vaccination certificates must be produced on arrival or before and will be held on site for the entire stay of the dog along with any medication requirements for your dog, medication will be held in a dedicated secure medical cabinet and instructions for delivery of them as the health & welfare of our guests is the utmost importance to us all at Barton Kennels. We cannot accept any dog without proof of up-to-date inoculations, including the kennel cough vaccination. It is entirely the owner’s responsibility to provide this information on the day of arrival or before. Dogs must be fit and in good health and must be vaccinated against Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis and Parvovirus. We also request that your dog has been vaccinated for kennel Cough a minimum of 14 days prior to arrival for boarding at Barton Kennels. Please Note if any dog, on arrival, has not had its Kennel Cough vaccination more than 14 days before hand or proof of all current vaccinations is not provided, we will be forced to refuse, and the full outstanding balance will still be payable to Barton Kennels in every case. While every level of bio security is taken by us to prevent Kennel Cough and following detailed veterinary advice, it is impossible to give a 100% guarantee due to the wide variety of types and strengths of the virus. As only the common types are covered by vaccination, there is always a possibility of a very occasional dog being susceptible and show symptoms. As this very rare possibility is out of our hands, Barton Kennels will not be held responsible should this occur. All dogs details regarding behaviour and aggression will be given/taken during the booking in process and initial assessment period. However, should any dog/s show continued aggression that is likely to cause serious injury to members of staff and cannot be controlled, then owners or their emergency contact will be contacted for the dog/s to be collected immediately from the kennels. In such an event, no refund will be applicable under any circumstances .All dogs, particularly with longer, thicker coats, will be kept as clean and brushed as possible with the time available. It is recommended that for dogs with high maintenance coats that a full groom is booked for the end of their stay if they are the type that need excessive daily brushing that we cannot always provide. It is understood that whilst every effort is taken for the care and wellbeing of your dog(s) they are left at the owner’s risk. In the event of injury to or illness to your dog, Barton Kennels will instruct our appointed veterinary surgeon. Treatment will be charged for on departure date. Also, belongings (such as toys, blankets, beds, leads, collars, bowls) are also left at the owner’s risk and Barton Kennels will not accept responsibility for loss or damage however it may be caused.
