The doctors and health care team at Companion Animal Hospital & Boarding Center never like to think that things could happen to your pets while under our care, but they can. Specifically in the event of a hurricane or other natural disaster, it may be beyond our control to keep your pet(s) healthy and safe from harm. Due to our location and the potential of inclement weather we have to be prepared. During such events it may be necessary or even mandatory that our health care team evacuate the premises and/or the area in the event of a Category 3 or higher storm. If an evacuation is necessary, all possible precautions will be taken to keep all pets in our possession safe. However, it is impossible to ensure that each pet/patient will survive a natural disaster of such magnitude. Please understand that we will do everything in our power to make sure all pets are taken care of to the best of our ability. Unfortunately, when a natural disaster endangers our health care team, we have to take precautions to ensure their safety which may leave us with no choice but to evacuate the hospital and boarding facility premises leaving animals unattended. We make no implied or expressed guarantee that our facility or designated evacuation site could withstand a disaster. 

Bordetella and Canine Influenza are two very contagious diseases that can be transmitted by inhalation of respiratory secretions. Dogs can spread these diseases at boarding facilities, dog parks, grooming establishments, veterinary hospitals, pet stores and any other animal related event. All circumstances listed can lead to the transmission and infection of these diseases. Dogs under stressful conditions are more susceptible due to suppressed immune systems.

We recommend and highly encourage all incoming patients to the Boarding/Grooming Facility and any hospitalization to our hospital be fully vaccinated for these respiratory viruses. In addition we recommend both the Bordetella Vaccine and the Influenza vaccines be updated within 2 weeks of staying at either facility. Both Vaccines are required for admittance into our facility to decrease the chance of contagious diseases spreading in our hospital and boarding facility. 

**If your pet receives either of the requires vaccines upon entry into our facilities we cannot guarantee that the vaccine has had ample time for immunity against these diseases to be stimulated. Neither vaccine is 100% protective. Similar to the human flu vaccine, which reduces the likeliness of contracting the flu and decreasing the severity of the symptoms if the flu is contracted. Both Bordetella and Canine Influenza can be spread by dogs that do not appear sick and are not exhibiting any clinical signs. There is no discerning factors in noticing which patients are and are not infected, for this reason it is most important all canines be vaccinated.**
We are doing our part to ensure that bordetella and canine influenza does not contaminate our facility and we do require you do your part by properly vaccinating your pets. 
However, we cannot guarantee that the carriers of the diseases are not present and therefore may transmit either disease or any other respiratory infection to your pet.

If there are any questions please contact the Boarding Facility

***By signing this document, I am aware that if my pet has not yet received bordetella and a canine influenza vaccine at least 2 weeks prior to entry into our facility and has not been previously vaccinated at least twice for bordetella and canine influenza that Companion Animal Hospital & Boarding facility is not responsible for the treatment related to either diseases. I have received a copy of this statement and understand the terms and conditions of this document. I acknowledge the risk and choose to continue with services.****
