Boarding Services
No matter how long the stay, your pet will be treated with loving care while boarded at Lake Hamilton or Hot Springs Animal Hospitals.
All visitors enjoy much affection and personal attention from our trained, professional attendants. Boarding dogs are walked individually two to three times a day for fresh air and to "do their business." Exceptions are made for those pets deemed an escape risk or dogs that are too aggressive to be handled safely while outdoors.
Depending on size, each pet gets a private run or cage for sleeping and eating, and all cats receive litter pans. All quarters are cleaned and sanitized at least twice a day. A pet’s bed or blanket may be brought from home as long as it is easy to launder, and is clearly marked with your name and your pet’s name.
A variety of highly nutritious options from Purina or Science Diet are available. If you prefer, you may provide your own food in a container clearly marked with your name, your pet’s name, and any needed instructions.
Since each visitor is unique, we ask that at check-in, you make us aware of any special needs, exercise requirements, etc. We will gladly administer prescription diets, medications and do whatever is necessary to make your pet feel most comfortable during his/her stay.
We also offer many ways to make your pet feel like a V.I.P. (Very Important Pet). You may choose from a variety of extra special services such as:
- Bath and Brushing
- One-on-One Playtime
- Special Bedding
- Professional Grooming
- Extra Tender Loving Care
- and Much More!
You can even book your cat at Hot Springs Animal Hospital’s “Kitty Palace,” where your pet will lounge in her own cat condo!
Reservations for boarding are required, but we can often accommodate last minute boarders. Pets may arrive and be picked up during regular business hours. After-hours pickup is also available for a nominal fee.
Additionally, to ensure a safe, disease-free environment for all our visitors, Lake Hamilton and Hot Springs Animal Hospitals require that all boarding pets be up-to-date on intestinal parasite and heartworm tests as well as all vaccinations. For canines, the required vaccinations are: Distemper, Parvovirus, Coronavirus, Bordetella, and Rabies (3-year vaccinations now available). For felines, the required inoculations are: Distemper, Chlamydia, Leukemia, Rabies, Bordetella, FIP, and FIV.
