A Look at Our Dog and Cat Boarding Facilities
Our state-of-the-art boarding facilities are built with your pets’ comfort, safety, and security in mind. We aim to offer a low-stress kennel experience to all the dogs and cats in our care. And that starts with separate cat kennels, dog runs, and exercise pens.
All our kennels have what your pets need to feel like they’re on a vacation of their own. We have runs perfectly sized for dogs, big and small. So, you can count on your pup enjoying room to stretch out while still feeling quite cozy.
For our kitty friends, we have a specialized feline room that you can see from the lobby. The kennel spaces offer your cat room for enrichment without the stress of seeing other felines nearby. To make their visit even more magical, all the cats get to visit the exercise area with their housemates.
Want your cats to have a chance to make new feline friends? Just ask, and we’ll pair up a few like-minded kitties for a play session.
We Give Your Pets the Best With Quality of Care
Our cat and dog boarding services center around providing pets with the highest quality of care. We’ll welcome your pet into our facility with open arms and then treat them like a part of the family.

Should Your Pet Become Ill
One of the advantages of boarding your pet at a veterinary hospital is that medical attention is readily available should the need arise. We closely monitor all boarding pets for change for changes in appetite, elimination, and behavior. Any change is reported to our veterinarians and we will then try to contact you to authorize treatment.
Pets with Special Needs
We also provide care for pets with special circumstances such as blindness, diabetes, kidney failure, or recent surgery. Please be sure to bring enough of your pet’s medications for the duration of his/her stay.
Required Vaccinations
To help prevent the spread of infections or contagious diseases within our facility, all pets must have had a physical exam, been completely immunized, and tested negative for intestinal parasites and heartworms within the past 12 months. We ask for proof of vaccination upon check-in to our clinic.
