That seems pretty ignorant. What are the chances a dog will catch lepto at a boarding kennel? I can understand parvo, distemper, rabies, and even bordetella...but lepto? It's not a contagious disease spread through the air..it is spread through coming in contact with infected urine. And a dog can't get the vaccine the day it's being boarded and be protected so its pointless anyway... I'd have a discussion with the vet if it were me and if they wouldn't budge I'd find some place else to leave my dog.
