Choosing dog boarding in Pasadena

Canine flu in Pasadena
In September 2021, a South Pasadena veterinary clinic reported dogs with canine influenza (H3N2) that had visited several day care and boarding facilities in and around Pasadena. LA County Public Health recommended vaccinating dogs against canine influenza and leptospirosis before they enter boarding kennels, day care or dog parks, and asked kennels to require both. The canine influenza vaccine usually needs two doses a few weeks apart, so plan ahead of a trip.
Most facilities also ask for rabies (required by California law for dogs from three months old), DHPP and Bordetella (kennel cough). Ask which vaccines a facility requires, and how it handles a dog that starts coughing during its stay.
What to ask
- Where do dogs sleep, and is someone on site overnight?
- Is play time in groups or one dog at a time, and how are groups matched?
- How do they keep dogs cool on hot days?
- What happens if your dog gets sick, and which vet do they use?
- Can you bring your dog's own food, bedding or medication?
Busy dates and fireworks
Popular facilities fill up for summer, the Fourth of July and the winter holidays, so book early. Fireworks frighten many dogs: Pasadena Humane advises checking ID tags and microchip details, so update them before your dog's stay and tell the facility if your dog is scared of loud noises.
Your dog's license
Inside Pasadena city limits, Pasadena Humane licenses dogs four months and older, with proof of a current rabies vaccine. Take copies of the license and vaccination records when you drop your dog off.
