Vaccination Policy for Ashridge Cattery and Kennels.

Dogs:

All dogs must be currently vaccinated or have been Titer Tested* and shown to have sufficient natural immunity to board safely. Vaccinations accepted are:

C 3 : C 4 : C 5 or Triennial C 3 (Three yearly vaccine )

Cats:

All cats must be currently vaccinated or have been Titer Tested* and shown to have sufficient natural immunity to board safely. Vaccinations accepted are:

FE3: FE4: FE5

Vaccinations must be completed a minimum of two weeks before admittance to Ashridge Cattery and Kennels.

*Titer Testing:

Some pets may experience a bad, or occasionally, an allergic reaction to a vaccine. Some vets may then suggest that the client should have their pet Titer Tested prior to boarding.

A Titer Test is a blood test that measures the presence and level of antibodies against a particular disease, which can provide evidence of current or past infection or protection provided by a vaccine.

If the results show a suitable level of protection, then a pet can board safely. This is accepted by us, as we had a dog of our own who had a severe reaction to his 16 weeks vaccine as a pup, was titer tested annually thereafter, and lived to 16 years without any problems, and his annual antibody levels remained high!
