[nagdu] Disconcerting message from disability services office

[Bridget Walker]

Hi Minh, 

You are absolutely correct. I did the same thing. As long as housing has a copy of the vaccinations you should be fine. Be careful with DS they don't always know what they are talking about and it's easy for anything to get messy. 
I always say you are the expert when it comes to your dog so if they are hesitating or going with whatever they throw together then you need to lead.
