Pet Boarding

Dog Boarding

Our hospital offers dog boarding you can trust. It is sometimes difficult to find a boarding facility that will tend to the needs of your dog and give them the attention they deserve. Boarding at our facility is ideal, especially if your dog has certain medical conditions that require medication. We have big runs and medium runs depending on the size of your dog. It is recommended that you bring in your own pet's food to alleviate stomach upset. All dogs are given blankets within their housing area to keep them cozy. We ask that you do not bring any of your own blankets and bedding as once they need to be laundered they are at risk of getting misplaced. In order to avoid injury we do not have a group exercise/play time. Instead, each pet is walked every 2 hours by our staff in our fenced in outdoor exercise area and given one on one attention. Dogs from a multi-pet household can be walked together.

We will review your dog's vaccination history to make sure that everything is up to date prior to booking.
