Vaccine Waiting Periods

You may be aware that we have a waiting period for dogs after receiving vaccines before they can come or return to DogServices, but did you know there are different waiting periods for different vaccines? We’ve consulted with a local veterinarian and outlined our updated waiting period guidelines below. These waiting periods help your dog build sufficient immunity to make them less susceptible to catching or transferring viruses. Our customers’ health and safety is paramount and the goal of these waiting periods is to keep your dog, your dog’s playmates, and every furry friend of ours as healthy as possible!
