What to Expect When Boarding Your Pet

At Boulevard Veterinary Hospital in Norfolk, Virginia, we provide quality care for your pet. Not only does our animal hospital offer top-notch veterinary services, but we also have an excellent pet boarding facility. We house cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and health conditions. Our staff is well educated, kind, and will take great care of your animal companion while you are away.

Your Pet Will Be Well Looked After

It is understandable to have some anxiety about leaving your friend at a pet boarding facility but rest assured, your pet will be loved and given lots of attention. At Boulevard Veterinary Hospital, we will stop in several times per day to check on, play with, exercise, groom, feed, water, and if necessary, provide medication for your pet. A veterinarian is always close by if an emergency arises.

You Will Need to Pre-Plan Your Trip

Before boarding your pet, there are a few things you will need to do.

Vaccinate. Many facilities, ours included, require your pet to be up-to-date on vaccinations before entering the facility. Our veterinarian will let you know what you need and administer the appropriate vaccines.

Visit. While it is not required that you visit, it is advised to do so. If you can bring your pet along to tour the facilities before boarding, that is even better. Taking a tour will alleviate stress for you and your pet.

Pack. Your facility may provide food, but it is best if you bring your pet’s food instead. Don’t forget to pack your pet’s favorite toys, treats, a bed or blanket, a comfort item (that preferably has your scent on it), and any medication that your pet may need.
