Pet Boarding FAQs

Boca Village Animal Hospital in Boca Raton, FL understands that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be stressful. We strive to provide peace of mind for pet owners through safe and caring boarding services. To help you feel confident, we have compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about pet boarding.

What Are the Requirements for Boarding?

All pets must be up to date on vaccinations before boarding. This includes rabies, distemper, and Bordetella for dogs, and feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia for cats. Pets should be free of fleas, ticks, or other parasites, and must be in good general health to ensure the safety of all animals in our care.

What Should I Bring for My Pet?

You are welcome to bring your pet’s favorite bedding, toys, and food. Familiar items help reduce stress and make your pet feel at home. It’s important to clearly label all personal items to prevent mix-ups, and provide feeding instructions or medication details when necessary.

How Are Pets Supervised?

Our trained staff monitors pets throughout the day, providing social interaction, exercise, and individualized attention. Dogs receive regular walks and playtime, while cats enjoy quiet areas with toys and scratching posts. Any changes in behavior or health are immediately addressed, and updates can be shared with owners upon request.

What If My Pet Has Special Needs?

Pets with medical or dietary needs are accommodated whenever possible. Make sure to inform us of any chronic conditions, allergies, or special instructions prior to boarding. We work closely with our veterinary team to ensure all pets receive proper care and attention during their stay.

How Do I Make a Reservation?

Reservations can be made by phone or in person at our animal clinic. We recommend booking in advance, especially during holidays or peak vacation times. This ensures your cat or dog has a secure spot and allows us to prepare for any special requirements.
