Canine Influenza Vaccine (Recommended)
The Canine Influenza vaccine is highly recommended for dogs participating in social activities such as group play and group classes. Although it is no longer required, vaccinating your dog provides important protection against illness. Dogs without the vaccine are still welcome to participate in all activities, including group play, classes, and spa services.
Titers
Paws & Play does recognize the use of titers when given proper paperwork from a pet’s veterinarian.
"Serum titers are blood tests that measure whether or not you are immune to a given disease(s). More specifically a quantitative serum titer is a titer with a numerical value indicating your actual degree of immunity to a disease(s)."
