Boarding Requirements & Client Intake Form

Boarding Requirements & Client Intake Form

Hello, and thank you for choosing Wags and Whiskers to care for your furry companions! I’m truly excited to build a relationship with you and your pet family. To ensure a safe, healthy, and happy environment for all animals in my care—including my own—I ask that you please review and follow the requirements below.
1. Vaccination Requirements
All pets must be current on vaccinations required by Iowa State Law. This includes:

Rabies and Distemper for both cats and dogs
Bordetella (kennel cough) for dogs, which, while not required by law, is mandatory due to close contact with my own pets
To ensure the safety of all pets in my care, your pet must have been seen by a veterinarian for a wellness exam within the last 12 months.

Proof of vaccination and a current exam are required prior to your pet’s stay. You may bring a physical copy or email records to wagsandwhiskerspanora@gmail.com.

Note: If your pet is unable to be vaccinated or seen for an annual exam due to medical reasons (e.g., cancer, prior vaccine reactions), please contact me directly to discuss options.

2. Fecal Testing
All pets must have a negative intestinal parasite screen (fecal test) on record before their stay. Please provide current documentation via email or in person.

If your pet is currently undergoing treatment for parasites, we’ll discuss the best course of action before moving forward with care.

3. Parasite Prevention
All pets are required to be on current flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. This helps protect your pet, my pets, and my home from unwanted pests and illnesses.

Please consult with your primary veterinarian to determine the most appropriate prevention products for your pet’s lifestyle and health needs. I’m happy to share general suggestions based on what I’ve seen used in clinic settings, but I always recommend following your vet’s advice first.
Please provide the details of your pet's current preventative care:

4. Medication
If your pet is on chronic medication (e.g., insulin, thyroid medication), please provide a complete list including:
- Medication name
- Dosage
- Adminstration schedule and instructions
*A medication administration fee may apply depending on the level of care required.
Is your pet currently taking any medications (other than monthly preventatives)?
If yes, please include medication name, dosage, administration schedule, and any special instructions (e.g., with food, specific timing):
5. Cancellation Policy
I understand that plans change, and I strive to remain flexible. At this time, there is no strict cancellation policy. However, if cancellations become frequent, I may implement one in the future.

Please notify me as soon as possible if you no longer require services.

6. Drop-Off and Pick-Up Times

Pets must be picked up by 10 PM on the final day of their stay to avoid being charged for an additional night, unless other arrangements have been made.

Late pickups will remain in my care until the following morning, with pickup available starting at 6 AM.

If your pet is not picked up by noon, a daytime boarding fee will apply, unless previously discussed.

7. Drop-Off and Pick-Up Fees

If your pet requires pickup or drop-off and your location is more than 5 miles from my home, a mileage fee will be applied.

8. Payment

Payment is due at the time of completion of services. I accept cash, card/tap, or Venmo for your convenience.
If you have any questions or concerns about any of these requirements, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to explain anything further or accommodate special circumstances whenever possible.

Thank you again for choosing Wags and Whiskers!
