Boarding
Boarding is available 7 days a week. While services are primarily for dogs and cats, we do board some exotics such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and turtles. We are proud of our boarding facility and welcome visitors. Dogs reside indoors in climate-controlled kennels, and can also play outdoors in our spacious exercise areas. Don’t forget we welcome exotics!
What to Expect When Boarding Your Pet
We feed our boarders a prescription gastrointestinal diet called Purina EN. Feeding time typically occurs twice a day. Owner-provided meals must be pre-measured and pre-bagged per meal to ensure proper feeding.
All blankets and food/water bowls are provided by our clinic.
Any required medications must be brought in their original containers and be accompanied by the current prescription dosage.
