Let us love on your pets while you’re away!
We are proud to offer pet boarding and daycare, under the supervision of our veterinary team. By choosing us, you can rest assured that if your pet has a health problem while you are away, they will be in trained hands to contact you and recommend appropriate diagnostics and treatment. For our boarding and daycare patients, we require the following:
- Boarding Dogs: must be current on Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella vaccines
- Boarding Cats: must be current on Rabies and FVRCP vaccines
- Daycare: puppies must minimally have their first Distemper and Bordetella vaccines
When scheduling boarding, please plan to bring an ample quantity of the food that your pet is normally fed at home, as well as any medications or favorite toys and bedding. This makes our home seem more like yours for them and helps reduce stress. Finally, please arrange to have contact numbers available for our staff to reach you during your pet’s boarding, in the event of any medical emergency.
We do require reservations to be made prior to any drop off of any animal boarding with us. Please call at any time during office hours to check our availability.
In 2013, we added a New separate building to house our Boarding clients. It has large individual runs and is heated and/or cooled year-round. Each of our boarders are allowed time in one of our 2 yards to exercise or play during their stay.
Our Boarding Policies:
We strive to provide the best care and compassion for your pets. If at any time we have the need for special or emergency treatments while your pet is boarding with us, we will first attempt to contact you or your emergency contact to inform of the situation. However, if unable to reach anyone, we will provide treatment as needed.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding of our policies to provide a fair and timely service to all.
