At Biscuits & Bath we strive to provide the best possible experience for your dog in order to ensure his or her happiness. We strongly believe in health, wellness and happiness when it comes to your dog. To that end, all of our care is under the supervision of our in-house veterinary team. Our philosophy is to combine a variety of total wellness activities to provide a comprehensive lifestyle including:
At Biscuits & Bath, our hope is to work closely with you and your dog to create a tailored wellness plan that focuses on the long-term wellbeing of your dog. This is what we call Total Wellness. Rather than merely offering services such as day care and dog walking, we are focused on creating and delivering to your dog a tailored lifestyle plan that focuses on the five key areas of Total Wellness: Exercise, Health, Behavior, Nutrition, and Grooming Maintenance. By creating a comprehensive wellness program, Biscuits & Bath can help your dog achieve optimum health and happiness and help you to strengthen the bond between you and your dog! Requirements for Using Our Services In order to utilize our services, every customer must complete a customer and dog profile and read and sign our waiver. In addition, each dog must remain current with all vaccinations as required by the NYC Department of Health and wear an identification tag at all times. We also require that dogs are suitable for our unique environment including being safe with other dogs and our staff. We require these things of all dogs so that we can provide them with the best experience possible and so that you can know that we are doing all that we can to ensure the health and safety of your dog and our staff in the context of our cage-free and off-leash environment. For more information, please consult our Customer Handbook or ask us any questions you might have. Vaccinations Required The health of the dogs in our care is our number one priority. To that end, we require that all dogs using any Biscuits & Bath service be currently vaccinated against rabies, distemper, hepatitis (adenovirus), parainfluenza, parvo and bordetella. That commonly means that you need the following vaccinations administered by a veterinarian: Most NYC veterinarians administer a booster commonly referred to as DH2PP, DA2PP, DHPP, or Distemper/Parvo which vaccinates against distemper and parvo, in addition to hepatitis (adenovirus), and parainfluenza. Please consult with your veterinarian to ensure that you have the proper vaccine coverage. Please note that for puppies this means that your puppy must be up to date with their current series based on their age. We keep records of your dog's vaccination expiration dates to help you keep your dog current with his or her vaccinations. Bordetella Vaccine - Six Month Requirement Please note that as required by the NYC Department of Health, your dog must receive the Bordetella vaccine every six months and not just annually. This vaccine is intended to prevent the spread of bacteria that can lead to what is commonly known as kennel cough. Please note that there are many strands of "kennel cough", and the vaccine only covers some of those strands, therefore it is possible for your dog to contract symptoms even if he is vaccinated. Also, the bacteria is airborn and can travel across 3-4 city blocks, thus it is nearly impossible to pinpoint the source of the exposure. The NYC Department of Health requires this vaccine every six months as the vaccine is updated regularly for new strands of the bacteria, much like with the flu vaccine for humans. Sick Dogs All dogs using our services must be healthy as we care for a large number of animals. We will not admit any dog that we believe, at our sole discretion, to be a risk to the other animals in our care. It is your responsibility as a parent to notify us of any health related issues affecting your dog so that we can make an informed determination about how to best care for your dog. Customers that do not inform us in a timely manner of any health issues, knowingly bring their dog to us while he or she is sick, or do not make all efforts possible to remove their dog from our facility once determined to be a risk by us will be subject to a surcharge of $500. In addition, at our discretion, those customers may not be allowed to use our services again and in that case will forfeit any unused portion of their membership without a refund. Injuries While we make every effort to ensure that each dog in our care is as safe as possible, injuries can occur. If your dog is injured while in our care for any reason, and requires outside medical attention that our veterinarian cannot provide on-site, we will take your dog to one of the emergency hospitals in New York City (The Animal Medical Center, Fifth Avenue Veterinary Hospital, or New York Veterinary Specialists). These hospitals specialize in emergency and critical care and have state-of-the-art equipment. Our first priority will always be the care of your dog and therefore getting them to a top hospital quickly will be our first step. If your pet, while under Biscuits & Bath's care or supervision, bites another dog on the Biscuits & Bath's premises or under Biscuits & Bath's care or supervision, and such bite results in an injury that requires veterinary care, Biscuits & Bath will contact the owner of the bitten dog and upon written request of the bitten dog's owner, Biscuits & Bath will promptly divulge in writing (1) the name of your pet, (2) your name and contact information, (3) and any medical information necessary for the health and safety of the bitten pet. Under all circumstances, the health of your dog is our first priority and we will make every effort possible to make sure he or she is safe and receives the proper care. PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT ALL DOGS AT BISCUITS & BATH PLAY AT THEIR OWN RISK!
