Why Vaccination Proof Is the Starting Point, Not a Formality
A kennel that does not ask for your dog's vaccination records before accepting the booking is telling you something important about how it runs everything else. Canine parvovirus can survive in soil and on surfaces for up to a year, and an infected dog sheds the virus in its feces for weeks after recovery, meaning a single unvaccinated animal in a shared space can expose every other dog in the facility. The core vaccines for dogs in India, distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, leptospirosis, and rabies, are grouped under what most vets call the 5-in-1 or 7-in-1 combo shot, plus the annual rabies booster. For cats, the FVRCP vaccine (covering feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia) is the minimum a responsible boarding facility should require.
