DOG OASIS

We take some simple but necessary precautions for the health and safety of our guests. Dogs visiting Dog Oasis for any of our services must be current in the following vaccinations and screenings:
Distemper/Parvo or proof of titers (yearly)
Rabies if over 4 months of age
Bordetella vaccine (yearly)
Monthly flea and tick preventative medication*
Annual Fecal test with negative results

We highly recommend Canine Influenza vaccination
**If your dogs vaccinations are not performed on or before their due date we require a 14 day waiting period.

Please bring photocopies upon Check-In.

Your pet is under constant supervision by experienced personnel. If a medical issue arises while your pet is in our care, we will take the following steps:

1. We will conctact the owner immediately.

2. In the event a visit to your Veterinarian is indicated, we will be glad to schedule an appointment with your Vet. We will be happy to transport your pet to the Vet for a fee.

3. In the event your Vet office is closed you will be notified. If your pet's condition is an "emergency" we will take your pet to the vet on call or the Emergency Animal Hospital.

All incurred vet fees are the responsibility of the owner, including a minimum charge of $30 for transportation if a visit to the vet clinic is required.  All Veterinarian bills are the responsibility of the pet owner. 
 
If a pet becomes ill while staying at Dog Oasis, the Owner will be notified and provided with a plan of care and/or if a health Vet checkup is indicated. Any dog displaying ill symptoms will be withheld from any dog-to-dog interaction in the event the illness maybe contagious. 

Sometimes being away from home can cause stress on the stomach. If we observe your dog is suffering from upset stomach or diarrhea and he/she is otherwise acting normal, then the first thing we will do is hold him/her off food for 12 hours. This allows everything to clear out of the intestinal tract and allows the intestines to rest. When withholding food, remember that this includes treats, bones, or anything else that’s edible! It is very important to encourage hydration and promote fluids. We will contact you to inform you of any stomach upset or diarrhea symptoms. Secondly, one of the most important things our staff can to do in the case of gastrointestinal upset is to simplify the diet and increase hydration. After we have withheld food and encouraged hydration, we will start back simple with a bland, easily digestible diet, such as plain cooked Chicken & Rice.
 Once the stools have returned back to normal, we will then slowly transition back to your pet’s normal diet.  In the event we need to feed your dog Chicken and Rice to treat Stomach Upset & Diarrhea, there will be a $3/charge per meal. We will continue to monitor your dog for any fever, lethargy, and abnormal stool. If you are aware your dog has chronic issues of gastrointestinal upset and you want to avoid any special diet fees, please pack a canned chicken & rice bland diet or provide cooked chicken and rice formula. In the event the upset stomach or diarrhea persists for more than 48 hours or we observe fever, lethargy or abnormal stool, we will contact you and recommend a Veterinarian assess and treat your pet. We want to make your pet as comfortable as possible, that is why we have the above plan in place.

All pets receiving any services at Dog Oasis must be on a veterinarian approved flea control program. Flea collars are not an acceptable form of flea control. If fleas or ticks are found on a pet, treatment will be provided at the owner's expense. The owner will be notified prior to a flea bath. 

1. All dogs staying at Dog Oasis must be potty trained. Accidents happen and we understand but tomaintain a sanitary enviroment we require that your pet be housebroken. * We do allow puppies that are still potty training.
2. All dogs staying at Dog Oasis but be dog friendly. We do not accept aggressive dogs. Dogs must be dog and people friendly.
3. All dogs staying at Dog Oasis must be cat tolerant. We understand not all dogs "like" cats but we ask that if your dog "hates" cats to please not bring them. If you know your dog doesnt "like" cats please notify us so we can be wary. Our cats are dog friendly and may approach your dog.
4. We do not accept dogs in heat.If your dog is not altered and your female is due to come into heat we ask that you do not bring them.
