Pet Boarding
We understand that leaving your pet for any reason can be stressful and sad. Your pet will have dedicated veterinary assistants caring for your pet during their stay. They will monitor your pet for any issues and bring those to the attention of the veterinarian if noted. During your pet’s stay, we provide adequate time outside for elimination and exercise, Hill’s brand food, elevated beds, bedding, and plenty of one-on-one interaction. We strive to keep your pets routine as close to normal as possible. To help reduce stress and make your pet feel more at home, you are always welcome to bring personal toys, blankets, food or other items.

Vaccination requirements
If your pet has not received all required vaccinations, they will need to be updated prior to boarding. Some vaccines require multiple doses to provide immunity. Protective immunity typically occurs 2 weeks after the last vaccination is given. For the safety of your pet, as well as the other pets boarding at our facility, we require vaccinations be given with adequate time for your pet to develop protective immunity. Please contact Arrowhead Veterinary Clinic for further information regarding timing and required vaccinations.
Proof of vaccination from a licensed veterinarian is required.
