Tyndall Pet Policy

All pets must be registered with the vet clinic within 10 days of residing on base and yearly registration is required by bringing in proof of rabies and other vaccines. If seen by an off base veterinarian, proof of vaccines is still required. All dogs and cats on base are required to be microchipped. It is highly recommended to be established with an off base veterinarian for after hour or emergency care. For more information for pets residing on base, (such as pet and breed restrictions), contact Balfour Beaty Communities at 286-1700.
