The growing number of visitors to Yosemite, along with local pet owners, creates an increasing demand for reliable, high-quality pet care. However, limited options exist for boarding and daycare facilities that emphasize adventure-based enrichment.
At Yosemite Tails and Trails, we believe that every dog deserves to live a happy and healthy life. We strive to provide a fun and safe environment for your pet, while also giving them the exercise and attention they need to thrive.
Our approach is to offer your dog an experience that focuses on their quality of life while enhancing their physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being. We make sure your dogs safety and comfort is our top priority.
At Yosemite Tails and Trails, the health, safety, and happiness of every dog in our care is our top priority. To maintain a safe and healthy environment, we require the following for all dogs participating in boarding, daycare, or adventure hikes:
Required Vaccinations:
• Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
• Rabies
• Distemper/Parvo/Lepto (DA2PP, DHLPP)
*Most commonly customers don’t have the Lepto vaccine for their dog).*
*Note the Lepto vaccine is given yearly after the initial 2 shot series. It is either given alone or in a combo shot. Everything but lepto in combo shot is usually good for 3 years however the lepto is only 1 year hence why it usually given on its own*
Encouraged but Not Required Vaccinations:
• Canine Influenza (H3N2, H3N8)
• Rattlesnake Vaccine (Crotalus Atrox for Western Diamondback Rattlesnake)
Vaccination records from a licensed veterinarian are required. Vaccines must be administered at least two weeks before your dog’s stay to ensure they’re fully effective.

All dogs must be on current flea and tick prevention. This helps keep our ranch and all visiting pups safe, comfortable, and parasite-free.
