FAQ'S
What vaccinations and other treatments does my dog require?
Vaccination: Every guest must have a current C5 vaccination prior to checking-in. Pets that have not been vaccinated for more than 12 months must be vaccinated no less than 14 days before day-care. Vaccination certificates are to be sighted by a member of the Paradise Pet Retreat team prior to your pet entering the facility.
Flea and Worm Treatments: All pets must have had recent flea and worm treatment not more than 1 month prior to check in as per the Code of Practice for Boarding Kennels and Catteries. Any pets coming into Paradise Pet Retreat that are found to have fleas or worms will receive immediate treatment at the cost of the owner. We are located in a known tick area, so we highly recommended your animals are treated for ticks no more than 1 month prior to their visit.
Where does the training take place?
Our dog training takes place across our 35-acre property, offering plenty of space for your dog to learn and grow in a natural environment. To ensure a well-rounded training experience, we also take dogs on excursions to dog parks, vets, pet shops, and even Bunnings. These outings help your dog become comfortable and confident in various real-world settings, making their training practical and comprehensive.
