Veterinary Medicine and Surgery offers a full-service climate-controlled boarding facility for companion animals. Our kennel staff goes above and beyond for each pet that is in their care. If for some reason your pet becomes ill or needs medical attention, a veterinarian is available at a moment’s notice. We take pride in our boarding facility and encourage everyone to take a tour of the facilities before boarding their pet(s).
When you drop off your pet, a team member will ask questions regarding an emergency contact number, food, feeding schedule, medication, bathing, special commands, and any problems that need to be addressed by a doctor during their stay.
You are encouraged to bring your pet’s normal food while boarding. A sudden change in your pet’s food could result in diarrhea or constipation. We do carry Royal Canin dry dog and cat food in case a pet runs out or you forget to bring food. This food is available at no extra charge. You may bring 1 item of bedding, 1 toy, and treats for your pet. It is very helpful to have all items labeled with the pet’s first and last name. Medications and supplements can be administered at an additional charge. All medications and supplements must be in their original containers with prescription labels.
You may visit our Online Forms page to print out our boarding consent form to bring with you on the day of boarding, or you may fill out the boarding consent form to be sent to us directly from the website.
