Health and Hygiene
- Ashtead Pet Boarding and Guinea Pig Rescue is a busy, thriving establishment with many different animals and their owners coming and going throughout the year. Whilst we will take every precaution to ensure the safety & well-being of your pet, they are boarded here at the owner’s risk.
- Pets must be in good health and fully vaccinated where appropriate. All rabbits must have up-to-date vaccinations against Rabbit Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (RVHD1)/Myxomatosis (Nobivac – annually) and against RVHD2 (Filovac – annually). The individual vaccinations require a minimum 2-week gap between them. There is now a new all in one vaccination for bunnies the Nobivac Myxo-VHD Plus which protects against all three diseases in one vaccine. Certificates will need to be seen three weeks before arrival. We DO NOT accept unvaccinated rabbits.
- APB reserves the right to refuse a pet if it is deemed too ill, has not had the necessary vaccinations or if it could possibly cause sickness or injury to other animals on the premises.
- Veterinary treatment will be sought from our Vet unless there is a medical reason why the pet should be taken to a Vet of your choosing
- The owner is liable for all veterinary fees and associated costs (eg fuel etc)
- On-going minor treatments will be undertaken at the owner’s request so long as prior notice has been given and agreement has been made. There will be an additional cost for this service.
- APB undertake to maintain a clean and healthy environment for all the animals in their care.
Data Protection (GPDR) From May 2018
