Dog & Cat Boarding: A Typical Day
Dogs
Every morning your dog will have the opportunity to get some fresh air and stretch their legs before breakfast. While they are out, their kennel will be cleaned, disinfected, and given fresh linens.
If they are physically capable and willing, we talk dogs in our care on walks on a regular daily schedule.
Take comfort in knowing that your dog will be supervised at all hours while they stay with us. In the evening, they will be given dinner and go for another walk before bedtime.
Cats
To make the stay more comfortable, your cat will be fed according to the same routine and specifications that they get at home.
For cats that enjoy human company, we provide daily one-on-one interactions with our staff including snuggles, pets, and playtime. Litter boxes are continuously checked and disinfected throughout the day.
We also refresh linens and keep their rooms clean every day. Our cat boarding area is separate from the dog area so your cat can feel safe while they stay with us.
Medical Boarding
Your pet will get constant supervision from our experienced veterinarians and staff, who will administer medications and look after them. Any required medications will be given to your pet on the same schedule as at home.
