Going on a vacation? Spending the day at the ski hill and don’t want to leave puppy home alone?  We are here for your pets when you can't be!  Call us to reserve a spot in our boarding facility.

Play tiime!

Dogs spend the day with us in their very own large indoor run which also has access to an outdoor space. They are walked daily and are allowed to run and play in a large, fence-enclosed exercise area. Dogs can be matched with compatible friends for walks and play or they can have their own solo time if preferred!

Cats will spend their time in a sunny, two room-sectioned condo. They are allowed free roam of an enclosed play area, complete with a tower scratching post, for daily exercise. As cats tend to be private animals, we only allow play time with family members (if any are boarding). Fresh litter is provided by the clinic and maintained throughout the day.

Cuddles and brushing are free perks!

When you call to schedule your pet’s stay, we will ask you what time you will be planning on dropping-off and picking-up your pet, so that we know when to expect you.

  • Saturday: 9:00am to 3:30pm

What do I Need to Bring for my Pet's Stay?

We ask that at the very minimum you bring your dog on a leash and collar, and your cat in a carrier. You are more than welcome to bring any toys, bedding or treats to make it feel like home!  We are able to supply bedding, and we do have plenty of feeding and water bowls, so we ask that you leave those at home. We do not want to get them mixed up!

You are also welcome to bring any dry/canned food should you not want to use our in-clinic food.  The only food we are unable to accept are raw diets or treats, or any combo diets that may contain these.  All dog’s must be off a raw food diet for at least a week before daycare or overnight stays.

If you do not wish to bring your pet’s food, we are able to supply limited selections of Royal Canin Veterinary dry kibble during their stay. These are easy-on-the-tummy life-stage diets that are provided at no extra cost to you.
