Boarding & Grooming
If you need to get away, why don't you? It's OK! But this time rest easy and enjoy yourself knowing your pets are in good hands.
We offer veterinary supervised pet boarding, at affordable rates, at both of our locations - Meadow Brook Animal Hospital and Preston Road Animal Hospital - for all of the kinds of animals we treat - dogs, cats, companion birds, ferrets, rabbits, iguanas, hedgehogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, snakes and assorted others (Sorry! Can't fit a camel!).
Your best friend will get good wholesome food, fresh water, a "comfy" bed, and will be checked on frequently, played with and exercised. Special food or special medications for your pet while he or she stays with us is not a problem! Just bring them along. There is no extra charge for heartworm preventive brought along with the pet. Other medications or special dietary needs can be accommodated at a nominal extra daily charge.
Yes, we do have temperature controlled pet kennels at both locations. They are safe, functional and adequate for their intended purpose.
None of our kennels have direct outdoor access. Outdoor dog walking is not safe or feasible at our Preston Road location in north Dallas due to the small size of the lot and immediate proximity of a large multi-lane freeway.
Our Meadow Brook location in McKinney Texas sits on five acres and there all boarding dogs are routinely walked outside twice a day. Extra walks and personalized pet play time are available for a small extra cost. Each hospital also has a hospitalization ward to handle intensive cases with close monitoring by skilled nurses and veterinary assistants.
Remember! Vet supervised boarding is safe boarding! Can you trust anything less?
