Yes. We require up-to-date core vaccinations appropriate for your dog and lifestyle. If you have questions about what’s needed, message us with your dog’s records and we’ll guide you.

Because we keep limited capacity to protect calm energy, cancellations can impact availability. Your exact policy is confirmed at booking — if plans change, message us as early as possible.
