I believe it's always been the rule that your pets must be up to date on their vaccines. But they never asked before. As I understand it, you may be asked, but you don't have to produce the paperwork. But if you ever go to the Escapees park at Wauchula, you will be asked to produce it. At least we were 10 years ago and our registration would not be completed until I went into the motorhome, put out the slide, unloaded the bed, and got the papers from my stash under the bed. I think Florida has had that rule for some time. We were recently asked when we stopped at a county park there last fall. Didn't have to produce it, but were asked.
Many vaccines are regional as some sources of disease are not present. In areas where diseases are found, it's a good idea to check to see if your pet needs something. My dog gets the treatment for kennel cough. My vet says if they sniff noses with another dog that's all it takes. I boarded our two ONE night at a very reputable facility. Both had kennel cough by the next day. Cost almost $300 to treat. Wow. Don't want a dog to have that again. . . they cough and wheeze and sound like they can't breath. Really scary. Kennel cough has dozens of varieties and the treatment only keeps them from getting it really bad. . . like a flue shot does for us.
