This is typically around 16 weeks of age.Vaccination records can be uploaded directly to your MoeGo account. Records are manually verified by our team, so vaccine reminders may continue to appear until verification is complete. We aim to review all records by the next business day. Leptospirosis is not required for regular Camp attendance but is required for pups participating in swimming.Please note: We’re unable to accept handwritten vaccination records.
- 02Yes, with some restrictions.Intact males under 1 year old are welcome to attend Camp, provided they meet all other requirements and successfully complete their assessment.For new clients, we’re unable to accept intact males over 1 year of age. Existing Campers who remain intact after their first birthday may continue attending on a case-by-case basis, provided they continue to be comfortable and appropriate for group play.As dogs mature, hormonal changes can affect behaviour in a group environment, so our team will continue to monitor their comfort and interactions as they grow.
- 03Dogs in heat are unable to attend Camp and must remain home for 4 weeks from the start of their heat cycle.Although visible bleeding may stop sooner, dogs can remain fertile after bleeding ends, and the timing of each heat cycle can vary. The 4-week period helps us make sure your pup is fully out of heat before returning to group play.If you’d like your pup to return sooner, we can accept confirmation from your veterinarian that she is no longer in heat.This policy helps us maintain a safe, comfortable and balanced group environment for all of our Campers. 🐾
- 04Kennel cough and other respiratory illnesses can spread quickly anywhere dogs gather. Even vaccinated dogs can become sick, as the Bordetella vaccine helps reduce risk and severity but does not prevent every respiratory infection.If your pup develops coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge or other signs of respiratory illness, please keep them home and let us know. Dogs from the same household must also remain home during this time.When can my dog return to Camp?Without antibiotics: 21 days from the onset of symptoms and at least 7 full days completely symptom-free.With antibiotics: 14 days from the start of treatment and at least 7 full days completely symptom-free.Both requirements must be met before returning to Camp.Thank you for keeping your pup home when they’re unwell.
