Dog Vaccinations

Rabies: A viral disease primarily transmitted by wildlife, but pets and people can also become infected. If left untreated, it is fatal—but it is preventable with vaccination. Texas requires rabies vaccination for all cats and dogs.

DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus): This combination vaccine protects against several viral infections, which is especially important in young dogs. It is considered a core vaccine for all dogs, even those that don’t interact with others, as these viruses can be present in the environment.
Leptospirosis (Lepto): A bacterial infection transmitted by wildlife that can cause kidney and liver failure—and can also affect humans. Both rural and urban dogs are at risk. Vaccination is recommended for all dogs.

Bordetella (Kennel Cough): Protects against severe forms of kennel cough caused by the Bordetella bacteria. While not 100% preventative, it significantly reduces the risk and severity of the disease.

Canine Influenza Virus (CIV): This vaccine protects against two strains of canine flu that can cause severe respiratory illness. It offers long-term protection, especially for dogs in high-traffic environments like boarding facilities or daycare.

Cat Vaccinations

We also require a yearly Physical Exam, Heartworm Test, and Intestinal Parasite Test.

Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia (FVRCP): Similar to DHPP in dogs, this combination vaccine protects against multiple viral pathogens. These illnesses can be especially dangerous for kittens. It is considered a core vaccine for all cats.

Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV): A viral infection that weakens the immune system and can lead to anemia, cancer, or death. It spreads through saliva, urine, and other bodily fluids—often in multi-cat households. Vaccination is recommended for at-risk cats, particularly those that go outdoors or interact with other cats.

Flea & Tick Protection

Capstar for all guests (fast acting adult flea treatment).

What Our Clients Say

My 2 wonderful Havanese literally pull me into the door of the Canine Country club to get groomed- that’s 2 animals who show no fears or anxiety about going and being loved on by all there while they are groomed. The groomers do a great job and make my 2 handsome boys look even better. I love that my boys enjoy their “day of beauty!

I have had a great experience boarding my dog with Canine Country Club. The value received is well worth the price. I always feel that he is well taken care of and that the staff loves what they do. After his first stay, I hadn’t seen any photos of my dog in the Facebook roundup and mentioned it when I dropped my dog off again and they took special care to ensure the staff snapped some photos so I could see my dog was enjoying himself.
Judith Tankel
I have a very, very high energy one year old lab and I wouldn't go anywhere else besides Canine Country Club! I have boarded her there a couple of times and always have a great experience. The staff is extremely nice and courteous and when I was upset about leaving my dog for the first time, they really calmed my nerves and made me feel at ease.
Rebecca Ellett
Savannah, in particular, deserves special recognition for her exceptional care and attention. She went above and beyond to ensure Maggie's comfort and happiness during her stay. I was very nervous to drop her off for her first time at boarding, and then the Ranch Retreat but from the very beginning, Savannah was patient.
