Boarding

Green Valley Animal Hospital offers boarding for our clients’ pets. We have renovated indoor runs for medium and large dogs, as well as various-sized kennels for both our small canine and feline friends. Our very young and very old boarders with special health considerations are housed on the main floor and are either let out in our outdoor runs at least three times daily, or walked in our side yard more often if needed. All other dogs are housed in our indoor runs downstairs, where they can stretch their legs in one of our eight outdoor runs at least three times daily for potty breaks. Unlike other boarding facilities, we spend extra time giving your pet the love and attention that they deserve (as well as treats!) for no extra charge.

Boarding Admissions

Animals coming in for boarding may be dropped off between 7 am and 4 pm Monday through Friday, and between 7 am and 12 pm on Saturday. Pick up from boarding is typically done after 12 on weekdays, and after 11 on weekends—if you request in advance an earlier pick up time we can try our best to accommodate. We also offer Sunday evening pickups outside of our typical office hours—these are scheduled times between 5:15 pm and 6:15 pm, and do require that boarding is paid for in advance.
For your pets stay away from home, you may want to bring a few personal belongings to help them settle in! We ask that you bring any food and medications or nutritional supplements they may need for their stay. If you would rather not bring your pets own food, we do offer a high quality dry or canned food that may be used during their stay. We do recommend bringing their own food to help avoid digestive disturbances from a different diet.
You may also bring one blanket, towel, shirt, or similar comfort item, as well as one to two toys that we can place in your pets run to remind them of home! Please note that any blankets or special toys may be misplaced, soiled, or chewed by your pet, though we do our absolute best to keep track of all belongings and keep them in good shape. Do not bring any irreplaceable items for your pets boarding stay! We are always happy to offer any boarder a raised cot, bedding, and toys if they are interested during their stay.

Daycamps

During weekdays, we offer individual daycamps from 9 am to around 4 pm, weather depending. These camps consist of one dog and one kennel technician outside in our large yard to play, run, explore, get pets, cuddle, or just hang out— whatever your pup wants to do! We offer a full day camp which is three 15 minute sessions spread throughout the day, in addition to the regular potty breaks. A half day camp is two 15 minute sessions, and we can also offer a single 15 minute session. We have a wide variety of toys ranging from tennis balls to squeaky chickens to rope toys and much more!
Our feline friends are also welcome to participate in kitty camp, though this is done indoors in our largest exam room. Kitty camps are only one 15 minute session, and offer many different cat toys including cat wands, feathers, mice, springs, and ball toys.

Bathing

After boarding, we offer every dog a complimentary quick bath, which consists only of a wash and blow dry to get your dog smelling nice and fresh when going home! For an additional charge we also offer a full bath, which includes a nail trim, anal gland expression, ear flush, two washes, and blow dry. If there is time in the schedule, you may be able to schedule a groom while your pet is here for their stay. A groom includes everything in the full bath, as well as your requested hair cut with our groomer! Cats are not offered a bath after their boarding stay, as most will not tolerate this experience after their stay.

Additional Services done with Kennel Techs:

• Nail trim
• Anal Gland Expression
• Ear Flush

All boarding animals are required to be current on their vaccinations. These include Rabies, Bordetella (kennel cough), DA2PP (Distemper, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, Parvovirus), Canine Influenza Virus vaccines for dogs, as well as a yearly fecal parasite test and annual doctor exam with one of our doctors. Cats are required to have Rabies and FVRCP (Feline distemper) vaccines, as well as a yearly fecal parasite test and annual doctor exam. To ensure your pet has the best protection while boarding, we strongly recommend that these vaccines be updated at least 2 weeks prior to boarding. Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions about whether your pet is due for any routine vaccinations.
