Canine Influenza

In response to the recent outbreak of Canine Influenza in the area, we now require all pets coming to stay with us to avoid any areas where they might encounter this, or any other contagious diseases, for a period of seven days prior to their stay at Happy Paws Pet Resort.

This would include dog parks, pet stores, groomers or other day care or boarding facilities and even the vet. This also means all shots must be done at least seven days prior to boarding as well. We apologize for the inconvenience but we feel this measure is needed to prevent the spread of Influenza and other infectious diseases.

Note that there is now a vaccine available for this new Avian (H3N2) strain of the Canine Influenza virus. We now require this vaccine, as well as Rabies, Distemper and Bordatella, for all dogs staying at Happy Paws Pet Resort.

Great Experience ...

I have always had a very positive experience when I go there. The staff really cares about the animals and their well being. They also donate their time and whatever else they can offer at a reduced cost to rescue organizations. It doesn't get any better than that !!

My experience was wonderful ...

I have been to Happy Paws many many times and had many dogs that have stayed at the resort. In addition to having my own dogs I also work with animal rescue and have had several dogs of different breeds, with different temperaments, medical and behavioral issues and quirks who have stayed at Happy Paws. I have never been to a place so willing to help work with the animals and their special needs. The owners have been kind, understanding and helpful. The dogs have been exceptionally well cared for. I would give them overwhelmingly high marks!
