Pet Boarding
Regarding pet boarding, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience for your furry friend is a top priority. Our pet medical boarding service is committed to providing specialized care for pets with chronic medical conditions. We understand the unique needs of these furry companions and have a team of experienced professionals to ensure their well-being. When you choose our medical boarding facility, you can trust that your pet will receive the required attention and care. We work closely with your veterinarian and maintain a safe and comfortable environment, making it the ideal choice for pets with ongoing medical needs.


Although we are primarily an emergency hospital, we do offer boarding as a courtesy to our clients.

After Hours Drop Off/Pick Up: A $50 Fee will be charged for drop-offs or pick-ups outside of our regular operating hours of 8:00am – 6:00pm
Medical Boarding: Any pet that exhibits any symptoms of illness or needs to be provided with medication or treatment during their stay.
Requirements: We require that the patient has had a wellness exam at our hospital within the past year as well as all core vaccines, a negative fecal test within 6 months, a negative heartworm test within 1 year, and a negative FIV/FELV test within 1 year for cats. For the best interest of the patient, we do not board pets who are aggressive or severely anxious. If your pet tests positive for fecal parasites after boarding drop-off, they will be admitted for medical boarding and the associated fees will be incurred.
Drop-Off & Pick Up Times: You may drop-off your pet as early as 8:00am on the day of drop-off and as late as 6:00pm. All boarding animals are charged for the day of drop-off no matter what the time of drop-off is. On the day of pick-up if your pet is picked up before 12:00pm there is no charge for the day of pick-up. Any pet pick-up after 12:00pm is charged for a full day of boarding.
What to Expect: Since we are primarily an emergency hospital, we won’t have a doggy play space as we did before, but your pet will get regular walks and will be attended to by staff members from 7:00 am – 8:00 pm. We do not have staff on the premises 24 hours a day.
We unfortunately will not be able to fulfill any requests that involve grooming your pet, cooking or cutting up food, feeding raw diets, or any similar special requests.
We advise against bringing your own blankets, toys, pillows, food bowls, etc. as we do have all of those items here in hospital and we don’t want your belongings to get lost. If you do wish for your pet to have a special toy or blanket with them, we will try our best to ensure that it stays with your pet at all times, but please understand that there is the possibility that it may get lost.
Deposit: To book the boarding reservation, we will require a full deposit for the entire duration of the stay up front. You will be presented with an estimate for the total cost of your pet’s stay that must be signed and paid for at the time of booking.
Additional Info
You are welcome to bring your pet’s personal belongings, like his/her bedding, toys, or other comfort items. We will do our best to ensure that everything that comes with your pet is returned to you. However, we are not liable for personal belongings lost, soiled, or destroyed during your pet’s stay.
Doggy Day Care add-on:
Dogs that will be attending daycare during their boarding stay will be charged for boarding along with the daycare fees as applicable. (For example, you will still be charged for boarding for the day, even if your pet is in doggy daycare all day during the last day. This is to ensure your pet continues to have a dedicated space for their belongings and a place to rest.
Grooming:
We do not offer professional grooming services. However, we can provide baths, nail trims, and anal gland expressions for our dog. If you are interested in these services, please discuss with our staff upon making the reservation.
Tours:
We give tours of the pet resort during normal business hours! Call us to schedule a tour with one of our pet resort specialists.
