Are the Leptospirosis, Coronavirus, and Lyme disease vaccinations required for boarding?
No, these vaccinations are not required for boarding. Some puppies and small breeds (e.g., Shelties) may have mild to severe post-vaccination reactions to the Leptospirosis vaccine which is included with the Distemper, Hepatitis, Parvovirus, and Parainfluenza vaccines. Dogs and puppies that are known to have had reactions or dogs and puppies that could possibly have reactions to this vaccine should have the Lepto vaccine removed when getting this vaccination, and the Lepto vaccine is not required for boarding. This vaccination is commonly referred to as DHPP if Lepto is removed and DHLPP if Lepto is included. Puppies under 12 weeks of age should probably not receive the Lepto vaccination as there is evidence of moderate to severe post-vaccination reactions in this age group. The vaccine for Coronavirus is not administered by all veterinarians (commonly called DHLPPC if Lepto and Corona are included). Vaccination against Lyme disease is not required for boarding.
