There is nothing more luxurious than a relaxing vacation away from home. If you’re a pet owner, however, it can be hard to relax if you're worrying whether your caregiver gave Oscar his meds or made sure Coco got enough exercise. Our practice offers pet boarding so you can relax while you are of town.
Your pets are properly cared for in a friendly, fun, secure, and nurturing environment. Our climate-controlled facilities remain clean and orderly at all times. Our practice provides comfortable bedding, or you may bring along your pet’s own washable bedding from home.
Maybe Coco has a favorite toy that would make her feel more at home. Our kennels and condos have plenty of room for your pet to move around and make themselves comfortable. We even have adjoining rooms for pets in the same family. Each pet gets plenty of physical exercise, fresh air, and sunlight.
We host social playtime in small groups, or you can ask us to walk your pet individually. We provide science diet sensitive stomach diets, but you can bring food from home so that there is no change in your pet’s diet while away from home.
We know that sometimes change is stressful, and your pet may not want to eat. It might be a good idea to bring along some treats or something to make their food seem more desirable. Our practice is well-equipped to handle any ongoing medical needs your pet may have.
We regularly administer oral medications and supplements. We also address individual feeding needs. We monitor your pet the entire time he or she boards with us. Should your pet become sick or injured we will attend to your pet immediately and communicate with you about the issue.
We want you to feel comfortable with the level of care and attention we provide, and we want your pet to feel comfortable while you're away.
Boarding at Countryside Veterinary Clinic
We offer boarding for both cats and dogs beginning Monday mornings through Saturday at noon. We do not currently offer weekend boarding.
We require proof of current vaccinations for all pets boarding with us.
Will my dog get active and social time while boarding?
Absolutely. The social preferences are different for every dog. We set up our dog play groups not only by the size of the dog but also their style of play and energy levels. But not every dog likes other dogs; some of them prefer human interaction. These dogs still get the same amount of time outside as the other dogs do, but they're by themselves getting snuggles from our staff!
What questions should I ask at the boarding facility?
We think outdoor time is really important, so make sure they are going to get this. They're already in a new environment but being outdoors is common for everybody. Having this option makes them feel more comfortable. We also think that sanitation outside is crucial. We have AstroTurf outside, and that's helpful to keep the dogs nice and clean while they're boarding. Does the boarding facility offer bathing? Can they administer your dog on medications? Do they offer food? And do they have veterinary services? We're an all-in-one facility in that we offer everything listed above and have access to veterinarians if an emergency were to occur. At some facilities, that’s not an option, so they would have to call someone in if something were to happen.
What should I bring and how should I prepare when boarding my pet?
If they're on a special diet, such as a prescription diet, or have a sensitive stomach, we suggest bring your dogs’ food with you. If they're on any supplements or medications, we are happy to administer as your directions call for an additional small fee. We have plenty of bedding, toys and bowls here that you do not need to bring you own.
