Day Camp Requirements
Day Camp dogs should be 16 weeks of age or older and must be in good health and parasite free. Dogs that are not feeling well will need to stay home until they are feeling better. Dogs are recovering from an injury and that have restrictions on physical activity, require any form of post-operative care, with open wounds/stitches, or require the care of a veterinarian cannot participate in day camp. National K-9 does not permit female dogs that are pregnant or in heat to attend camp.
It is the owner’s responsibility to provide National K-9 with current vaccination records and fecal test results from a licensed veterinarian. The following vaccinations are required: Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella, Adenovirus Type 2, and Parvo virus (DA2P). Dogs that are overdue on the required vaccinations will not be accepted for day camp. The following vaccinations are recommended: Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza, Lyme Disease and Corona.
All dogs must be properly groomed, including toenails. Dogs that require the services of professional groomer should not be matted or have hair obscuring their vision. If your dog’s nails require a trim, you will be notified and provided an option to have the trim completed by our staff for additional fee.
Please contact the business office if you have questions regarding your dog’s health condition or require clarification regarding these policies.

Veterinary Care
While we do everything we can to prevent injuries, active dogs do have some risk of injury while playing and enjoying themselves. Minor strains and sometimes minor abrasions can happen. If during Day Camp your dog requires veterinary attention, we will attempt to contact you or the emergency contact(s) at the telephone numbers provided. In the event we are unable to contact you or your emergency contact, National K-9 will call in or transport your dog to an available veterinarian to obtain the necessary care. Dog owners are responsible for all veterinary charges incurred including transportation fees.
