What vaccinations does my dog need to board?
What dog boarding and kennel businesses need to publish
Clear requirements prevent a family showing up with a dog that can't actually be accepted.
How customers actually ask it
The same intent arrives in wording your page probably does not use. All of these mean the same thing:
- “What vaccinations does my dog need to board?”
- “required shots for kennel”
- “bordetella requirement”
- “boarding health requirements”
What a complete answer contains
For dog boarding and kennel businesses specifically, an answer is only complete when it covers all 4:
- 1
The real, specific vaccines required
- 2
Timing requirements (like bordetella's 6-month window)
- 3
Why the requirement exists (airborne risk in group settings)
- 4
How to submit records before arrival
A worked example
Illustrative — not a real business
You'll need current records for rabies, DHPP and bordetella (kennel cough) vaccines — bordetella specifically needs to be within the last 6 months, since it's an airborne risk in a group setting. Send records ahead of drop-off if you can, so we can confirm everything's in order before your dog's stay.

What silence costs
A turned-away pet at drop-off, with the family already packed for travel, is one of the worst possible outcomes this page can prevent.

AI customer support for dog boarding and kennel businesses
The two things that actually determine whether a dog can board are vaccination records and, for many facilities, a temperament evaluation for first-time guests — and a facility that doesn't state both clearly risks a family showing up with a dog that can't be accepted. RubyRep states both plainly, along with real pricing and daily routine information.

What is AI customer service?
AI customer service means answering customer questions with a language model rather than a person. The useful implementations are grounded in a specific business's own content; the poor ones let a general model improvise, which produces confident answers that are wrong.

What is a knowledge base?
Traditionally a knowledge base is a help centre humans read. For AI support it is the source material a representative answers from — which means an ordinary website, well written, can serve as one without a separate help centre.
