Boarding Requirements & Policies
- A healthy pet exam by one of our veterinarians is required annually for all patients up to 7 years old, and semi-annually for patients 8 years and older, or with medical conditions that require medications. This allows us to provide the most thorough and thoughtful care for your pet while they are staying in our boarding facility.
- Dogs must be current on the following vaccines – Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella, as well as a 6-month Fecal Test.
- Cats must be current on the following vaccines – Rabies, Distemper (FVRCP), and Feline Aids/Leukemia (FIV/FeLV) Tests, as well as a 6-month Fecal Test.
- All pets must be free from Internal and External Parasites.
- All pets must be on a monthly flea preventative. If your pet has not had an application of flea preventative applied within the last 4 weeks, we will need to apply one upon arrival. Pets entering the hospital with external parasites (fleas or ticks) will be treated appropriately at the owner's expense.
- Checkout time is 12:00 pm (noon) Monday through Saturday. If you pick up your pet after 12:00 pm, you will be charged for an additional day of boarding.
