At Big Valley Pet Resort, we are dedicated to providing high-quality care for your pet(s) in a fun & safe environment while they are away from home. In order to board, groom or attend daycare here at BVPR, there are vaccines and immunizations that all pets are required to have before they can visit. We do not accept vaccine titers. There are also several forms and documents that must be filled out by owners to use our services.
Below is a list of required immunizations that your pet will need for boarding, grooming and daycare. We DO NOT accept vaccine titers. Links to download required documents for using services at BVPR and what you can bring with your pet when they stay are below as well.
For your convenience, there is an email form at the bottom of this page that you can use to attach and send back BVPR paperwork and/or vet documents.
Meet & Greet Policy & Process
We are so excited to have you join our family!
At Big Valley Pet Resort, our top priority is providing your dog with a safe, friendly, & fun environment where they can play with other pets & be cared for by dedicated pack leaders. To ensure the best experience for your pup, we’ve created a thorough process to welcome you into our family:
- Contact Us
Call or email Big Valley Pet Resort to get all the necessary Meet & Greet information. Our Manager will reach out to schedule a Meet & Greet at our facility. - Share Vaccine Records
Before your Meet & Greet, send your pup’s updated vaccine records to petresort@bigvalleyanimalcarecenter.com or bring them along on the day of your visit. - Meet & Greet Day
When you arrive, you’ll complete the required forms. The Meet & Greet lasts about 45 minutes: 30 minutes: Your dog will play in the yards with other dogs to assess their temperament. 15 minutes: Your dog will spend time in a kennel to ensure they’re comfortable. After the session, we’ll let you know if your pup has passed. - Trial Daycare & Boarding
If your dog passes the Meet & Greet, we’ll schedule one full daycare day and one overnight boarding stay—both free of charge. This trial allows us to see how your pup adapts to our daily routines. - Welcome to the Family
Once the trial sessions are successfully completed, your dog officially becomes part of the Big Valley family! You’ll then be able to book daycare and boarding for future stays.
We look forward to welcoming you and your pup to Big Valley Pet Resort! 🐾
What a day looks like at Big Valley!
