Medical Boarding for Pets in Stroudsburg

Boarding: A Typical Day

Medical Boarding for Dogs in Stroudsburg

For dogs, we offer private, climate-controlled kennels with soft, clean bedding where they spend most of their time. 

Any medication is administered according to your stated specifications to replicate their at-home routine as closely as possible. 

Each patient is continually monitored for any changes in medical conditions during their stay, in addition to signs of fear, stress, or anxiety. Our veterinarian will address any concerns. 

The staff also take dogs for short walks to enjoy the fresh air and an opportunity to go to the bathroom. 

Medical Boarding for Cats in Stroudsburg

We will note any specifications or requirements your cat might have during a discussion with you. Our goal is to provide a seamless transition from their at-home routine to their time with us.

During your cat's stay with us, we will feed and administer medication as specified by you, so that their routine is as close as possible to what they are used to at home. 

Cats get daily interaction with our staff, who provide play, pets, snuggles, and enrichment activities. Litter boxes are checked, cleaned, and disinfected periodically and throughout the day.

• How should I prepare for my pet's stay?

  Every animal is special. To prepare for your pet's potential stay with us, we will take the following measures to make sure that we can provide for their unique needs.

  Step 1: Contact us to get started

  Call us to book a spot and go over any important details about our services and your pet's needs. A member of our team will be happy to organize the booking with you.

  Please note that pets must be up to date with all vaccinations and parasite prevention medications. They must be free of fleas, ticks, and parasites to stay at our facility. They also require a negative fecal test within the past 12 months.

  Due to the nature of our accommodations, we also do not accept unaltered dogs. If you have any questions regarding these policies, please contact the office directly.

  Step 2: Set your pet up for success

  When you drop off your pet with our team, there are a few things you can do beforehand to help ease the transition for your furry companion.

  Make sure you spend extra time with them before dropping them off and give them some hearty exercise. This will help ensure that they are calm when they arrive at us. When you bring them into our hospital, stay calm, confident, and upbeat during the separation.
