For established clients only, All Saints Animal Hospital is pleased to offer boarding for your animal(s) when you need to be away from them. In the interest of keeping your pet(s) healthy, we will board animals on a very limited basis. Sometimes the stress of being away from their surroundings/owner can cause a pet to get stress related ailments (diarrhea, cystitis, nervous abrasions). To try to minimize this risk we board only a limited number of animals and strive to give them the individualized attention they deserve.

We do encourage owners to bring their own food to feed their family member while they are boarding. This continuity can help avoid stomach problems during and after boarding. Also a detailed list of any medications that your pet is taking and the times at which they are to be given is very advantageous.

For dogs, a bordetella vaccination within the past year is required. This protects against kennel cough. If the dog has not had one, a vaccination should be received 2 weeks prior to boarding to insure immunity.

All animals are kept inside with central air conditioning. Dogs are taken out every 4 to 6 hours until closing. Any personal affects are discouraged from being left as they tend to become soiled or destroyed over the course of boarding. All animals are provided with clean, soft towels on which to lie, fresh water and food regularly.

A boarding form must be completed every time you board to provide current information on your pet(s), yourself and emergency numbers. In the event that we are unable to contact you or the emergency person through the emergency number we will treat your pet accordingly unless otherwise instructed!

Thanks for Allowing Us to Care for Your Pets.
