Our insurance requires that we maintain updated vaccination records for your pet. If your pet's vaccines are due, please download this vaccination form, fill out what you can and have your vet complete the rest, and scan/email or mail the form to our office.

While your pet's vaccines may be due every three years, for example, physical exams should be done yearly to ensure that your pet is in good health and approved by your veterinarian for pet-assisted therapy visits. In addition, a fecal exam should be conducted yearly unless your pet is on a preventative program (please see the details on the vaccination/fecal record form). For more information about deworming medication, please watch this video where our Animal Behaviorist goes into more detail about the accepted deworming medications.

Results of a titer test must be submitted annually if used in place of Distemper/Parvo or FVRCP vaccinations. In addition to the numeric results themselves, we require a signed letter from the veterinarian him/herself stating that he/she feels these values are adequate to provide immunity for a specified time period not to exceed one year. The signed letter can be mailed to Furry Friends, or it can be scanned and emailed to admin@furryfriends.org.

Please note that we do not permit a raw diet for our Furry Friends. There is a higher risk for passage of pathogens (bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms that cause disease) from animals to humans with pets fed raw diets due to under-cooked animal-source proteins. The food fed to our pet-assisted therapy pets must reach a temperature of 165 degrees to ensure that pathogens and bacteria have been eliminated. Children, seniors, and immuno-compromised individuals are at the greatest risk, so we must err on the side of caution and ask all of our members to refrain from feeding raw diets to their therapy pets.
