Medical Leave

Positive for Giardia or other parasites

Any dog testing positive for giardia or other parasites will be immediately placed on medical leave. Dogs who have tested positive for parasites may not begin or return to class until a new, negative fecal test is submitted. Follow your vet’s prescribed treatment, then request a new fecal test for confirmation. Once we verify the results, you can resume classes.

Other medical issues

To be placed on medical leave for illness or injury, you or your vet must contact All About My Dog with documentation that advises limited activity or no contact with other dogs. If your dog is enrolled in a class, they will be placed on medical leave and should not return to class until your vet clears them for activity.
