Health Department mandated proof of vaccines, which vary according to age, are required. You must bring a printed copy to your first class or playgroup to give to the instructor to keep on location and you must bring an updated copy once your pup turns 16 weeks of age.

For dogs under 16 weeks, at least one round of vaccines is required. The veterinarian’s signature is not required on this document for dogs under 16 weeks of age. For dogs 16 weeks and older, the Health Department requires a signature from the veterinarian and must include rabies, parvovirus, parainfluenza, adenovirus, bordetella, and distemper. If your veterinarian chooses not to give your pup one or more of these vaccines, we must have a signed letter from them stating that it is contraindicated.
