​A VERY IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE TO OUR VALUED CLIENTS:  Due to the recent news of a new serious canine respiratory illness which 1st emerged in Oregon, and is now spreading quickly Eastward - Bokhara Pet Resort wishes to keep all our clients informed of steps we are taking to protect pets in our care. We also want to assure you that Bokhara Pet Resort does not have any cases of this respiratory virus in our facility currently - and with that being said, we are actively monitoring the situation and will not only continue our sanitation protocols, but we are also implementing an area restriction and requesting a fuller and further vaccination protocol requirement until this virus situation has been brought under control. Already there have been cases identified in Wisconsin, Indiana & Illinois so it is only a matter of time before it arrives in Northern Michigan. Please read some of the things Bokhara is doing to help mitigate the spread of this virus:

    1)  Bokhara continues to require the standard Rabies, DHAPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza & Parvo), Leptospirosis & Bordetella vaccinations for all canines arriving for boarding, day care and/or grooming services. We understand canines with unexpired Canine Influenza Vaccinations (CIV) who have come in contact with the new virus have experienced a shorter recovery period than those without the CIV vaccination. Bokhara is now recommending all canines that leave their homes & yards schedule a CIV for the likely benefit assist it gives during in the virus recovery period. Bokhara still requires the CIV for boarding/day care/grooming between June 30th - September 15th.

    2)  Though Michigan likely will be unable to avoid this respiratory illness from invading our State - Bokhara is taking stricter measures to help reduce it from becoming as rampant in our Grand Traverse Bay Area during the coming Holidays. Bokhara is not accepting boarding, day care or grooming reservations for canines who normally reside outside the State of Michigan until after the virus has been contained.

      3)  Bokhara is allowing boarding reservations for this upcoming 2023 Christmas Holiday Season to only those canines who normally reside NORTH of a East/West line across the State starting at Cadillac, Michigan then North to the Mackinaw Bridge and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as long as those canines are fully vaccinated well prior to arrival. Even if you are a regular summer/frequent visitor client of Bokhara Pet Resort, but live below the Cadillac, Michigan line - we are recommending that you make your holiday arrangements to board during this Christmas  holiday time in a facility nearer to your home to mitigate coming in contact with the virus while traveling distances.

​Your pet's health and safety are our top priorities.  We encourage all pet owners to be vigilant and watch for any signs of respiratory distress, coughing, sneezing, eye discharge, or other unusual symptoms.  Please be mindful if you dog is showing any symptoms of respiratory illness to keep them safe at home. This respiratory virus is very serious to the very young and the very old canines so if you have plans to be away and you must be gone - make sure you have a backup plan in place before you leave town.  If you have any questions about respiratory illness, please contact your veterinary office as they will have the latest information on the progression of this new respiratory virus. We appreciate your trust in us and want to reassure you that we are taking every precaution to keep your pets safe and healthy.  Thank you for being a part of the Bokhara Pet Resort Family.

​Appreciatively,
The Bokhara Pet Resort Owners & Staff
