Our boarding services are reserved for active clients and patients.

Access to our boarding facility is only provided to patients for whom we also serve as a primary veterinarian and have had a physical exam by one of our veterinarians within the past 12 months.

In order to protect your pet, as well as other patients who are boarding in our facility, we require written proof that your pet is up to date on the following vaccinations:
Canine: DHPP (Distemper/Parvo), Bordetella (Kennel Cough), Rabies, and Leptospirosis
Feline: FVRCP, Rabies, and Feline Leukemia (FeLV)

We also require that your pet is free from external parasites. If during the period of boarding we find that your pet has external parasites such as fleas, lice or mites, treatment will be administered at your cost.

Holiday Pick-ups will reflect Sunday pickup guidelines.
