**Dash and Paws Information **
1st April 2025
**Vaccination Requirements:**
All dogs attending Dash and Paws daycare must be fully vaccinated with the C3 and KC vaccines.
**Sterilisation Policy:**
All dogs over the age of 12 months, whether male or female, must be spayed or neutered to continue attending Dash and Paws daycare. Alternatively, a chemical implant may be acceptable.
**Medical Conditions Notification:**
Owners are required to inform Dash and Paws of any medical conditions, including allergies, and provide the necessary medications prior to their dog's arrival.
**Behavioral Disclosure:**
Owners must disclose any known aggressive or behavioral issues exhibited by their dachshund, both prior to and following enrollment.
**Socialisation Expectations:**
At Dash and Paws, we are committed to providing a safe and controlled environment for all Dachshunds in our care.
If we observe that your Dachshund is struggling, becoming fearful, or anxious during group play, Dane or Danielle will provide honest feedback based on their observations. This may result in the discontinuation of daycare, as we prioritise your Dachshund's well-being over any ongoing daycare commitment.
If we observe excessive barking, the dachshund will be removed from daycare play to a quiet place and reintroduced when they are quiet. This will require an open conversation about how we can work together to improve their behavior.
**Anxiety Medication Disclosure:**
Owners must communicate any changes regarding their dog's anxiety medication.
**Illness Notification:**
Owners are obligated to inform Dash and Paws if their Dachshund becomes unwell prior to attending daycare.
Examples of illnesses include eye infections, coughing, diarrhea, or vomiting. **Grass Seed Precautions (November - March):**
It is the owner’s responsibility to thoroughly inspect their Dachshund for any foreign body infections following each visit.
