💄 Use of any scented products, including perfumes or room fragrances
 

Dogs have an extremely sensitive sense of smell, and even mild scents can cause stress or physical symptoms such as coughing or vomiting.

Certain fragrance ingredients may also place strain on the liver or respiratory system.

​

Please avoid using any scented products on the day of your visit.

​

🧴 Use of hair growth products containing minoxidil
 

Minoxidil is highly toxic to dogs and cats. Even trace amounts—through indirect contact via skin—have been linked to poisoning and fatal outcomes.

There have been documented cases of dogs dying after sleeping on a pillow used by someone who had applied a minoxidil-based shampoo, or after licking their owner’s hand.

 

For this reason, we must respectfully decline entry to individuals currently using minoxidil-containing products.

 

 

🔬 Vaccination with mRNA, replicon-based, or other new-generation vaccines since October 2024
 

At present, data on the potential effects of these vaccines on animals is extremely limited.

In particular, the close-contact environment of our facility—where dogs may come into contact with human saliva or sweat—makes it difficult to fully eliminate risk to the rescue dogs.

 

If you have received one of these vaccines, please contact us in advance before visiting.

Entry will be subject to review and approval by our team.

 

We will continue to monitor the latest research and global developments, and make decisions based on the best available scientific evidence.
