- DHLPP, Rabies & Bordatella (But NO bordatella within 2 weeks of coming to board. It is a live virus vaccinate that can transmit to others)
- If you need to update your pet’s vaccinations, we recommend doing so two weeks prior to arrival. We suggest that the bordatella vaccinations be administered annually and no later than 2 weeks prior to arrival.
- It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that Mason-Dixon Game Outfitters is supplied with updated vaccination records for each pet. Please be aware that there is a $5.00 surcharge if we must call your veterinarian for verification of vaccinations. Bring your records upon arrival or expedite your check-in time by faxing them to us at (410)836-1800 or mailing them in advance.
