Your pet may have accepted that they must endure some daytime hours all by themselves, but that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t enjoy a wonderful alternative. Most pets manage okay, but some pets do not do well on their own. Pet daycare is a worthwhile option for pets to engage with others in exciting and enriching ways. When you pick them up after 6 full hours of non-stop fun, they are ready to relax with you at home.

A common quandary facing pet owners is what to do with their pets when they leave town. There are many pros and cons to measure, and careful consideration of all of a pet’s needs is necessary before deciding. Hiring a pet sitter is the preference of many, especially if there aren’t specific or intensive care requirements. Owners can also choose between dozens of reputable boarding facilities that offer grooming, play time, and other enrichment opportunities. 

However, for a pet with specific health care needs there is no match for medical boarding.

You want only the best for your beloved pets, and when it comes to leaving them in someone else’s care, your standards should be sky high. Especially when your pet requires special care, Animal Medical Hospital & 24 Hour Urgent Care’s medical boarding facilities are there to exceed your expectations. We are equipped to provide the best possible care for pets with all sorts of needs, but boarding for pets with arthritis is our specialty.

When it comes to boarding pets at Animal Medical Hospital & 24 Hour Urgent Care, we take ourselves pretty seriously. You have entrusted us with one of your most precious possessions, and we fully intend to treat them as such.

If you need help with your pet with cancer while you are away, we are also able to help. Our boarding for chemotherapy patients and other pets with cancer is something you can count on.

At Animal Medical Hospital & 24 Hour Urgent Care, we know that leaving your pet behind when you go out of town can be stressful under any circumstance. They are your family too, and you want them to have the best of care.

When you have pets with medical problems, things can become even more complicated. That is why we offer quality medical boarding services for animals with all sorts of needs and issues, including boarding for pets with urinary issues. 

No matter how much you wish that your pet could accompany you on your endeavors in life, sometimes they need to stay behind. It can be hard enough to board your pet, but when you have a pet with special medical needs it can be even more difficult. 

At Animal Medical Hospital & 24 Hour Urgent Care we offer medical boarding to help owners with furry family members that have special needs. When it comes to boarding for epileptic pets, we have you covered.

The intense bond between humans and dogs goes back at least 15,000 years, so it’s not surprising there are quite a few similarities between the two species. For example, both are social animals who love food and communicate through body language and facial expression. 

Among the not-so-pleasant characteristics we have in common is the capacity for motion sickness. In fact, studies show that roughly one in five dogs suffer from motion/car sickness. If you’re tired of cleaning up after your poor pup has been in the car, take heart! Your team at Animal Medical Hospital & 24 Hour Urgent Care has plenty of ideas for helping you prevent or reduce dog car sickness.

Transporting your feline friend, be it to a veterinary appointment or to a new home, isn’t always the cat’s meow. However, having the right cat carrier can make this harrowing task much easier. But which carrier is right? How do you know?

Your team at Animal Medical Hospital and 24-Hour Urgent Care is here to help you find the perfect cat carrier for your purr-fect pet.

Finding the Right Size

When it comes to the right carrier, size matters. 

Your cat must be comfortable and secure in the carrier, while it being roomy enough for them to stand up and change positions. Carriers should be at least one-and-a-half-times the size of your kitty. 

Summer is almost over, but have you taken a vacation yet? Whether you’re planning a long road trip or a quick weekend getaway, leaving your pet at home simply isn’t an option for many pet owners. But is your furry pal up for the challenges of travel?

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me… eight dogs a- coughing? If you board your pet with any frequency you probably are aware of kennel cough, a highly contagious disease that can spread rapidly in a kennel environment. If you are planning to board your pet over the holidays, or any time of year, this potentially serious illness should be on your radar.

In this modern era of vaccines and cleanliness, you might wonder why kennel cough is still so prevalent. As always, your team at Animal Medical Hospital & 24 Hour Urgent Care will do our best to answer your questions, and to reassure you that you the power to keep your pet well lies with you!
