Vaccine Policy

For the health and safety of all our guests and staff, we require proof of current vaccination upon arrival. We recommend vaccine records be faxed in advance when possible. This allows us an opportunity to review the records and call the owner with any questions prior to arrival. Any unverifiable vaccinations will be administered upon arrival, at the owner's expense. For your convenience, we can updated any necessary vaccinations or perform any veterinary services while boarding. 

Evacuation Policy

Pet owners are required to leave the name of an emergency contact person that can retrieve their pet in the event of a Mandatory Evacuation of Hilton Head Island. If a friend or family member is unable to evacuate your pet, we will make every effort to evacuate with your pet. If that is not possible, Dr Dixon will be required to stay with your pet. If a staff member does evacuate with your pet, there will be a minimum fee of $400 per pet. In order for us to evacuate your pet, our staff must leave behind their own possessions to make room for your pet. In addition, we are then responsible for your pet in a very stressful situation which may be extended should our beautiful island be a casualty of a storm. If we have more animals left behind than we can physically evacuate, the doctor must stay here with those animal, putting his own life in danger to do so. Your consideration and understanding is appreciated in this situation, if it were to arise.
