Pet Boarding FAQ

Sometimes we must go out of town and cannot take our beloved pet. When leaving our pets behind, we want to ensure they are left in qualified and experienced care. Pet boarding is an alternative option to finding a family member or friend to take care of your pet. Pet-sitting is another option, but many still prefer boarding their pet at their local animal hospital. The veterinary care team at Westwood Pet Care in Dothan, AL, is dedicated to ensuring your pet is happy and healthy while staying with us. 

Pet Boarding FAQ

Where will my pet be spending most of their time? 

When looking for an "animal hospital near me" for pet boarding services, the first question you must ask is, "Where will my pet be spending most of their time?" Most dog boarding and cat boarding facilities offer each pet individual accommodations, where they spend a lot of time. In addition, some locations have space for the pets to roam and interact with others. Ask for a tour of the facility to see where your pet will spend most of their time. 

Which is better - boarding at a pet hotel or a veterinarian? 

The most common decision pet owners need to make is between pet boarding at a local pet hotel or with their veterinarian. It all depends on your pet and where they will feel most comfortable. However, boarding your pet at your local animal hospital ensures the veterinary care team already knows your pet. Therefore, it can adequately care for your pet in a medical emergency. 

How can I ensure my pet is comfortable during pet boarding? 

Some dog boarding and cat boarding allow you to bring a bag of things to help keep your pet comfortable while you are away. Some items to send with your pet may include blankets, their bed, favorite toys, treats, and food. Packing these items ensures your pet has everything it needs at the veterinarian near me for pet boarding. 

Can I get my pet groomed before I pick them up? 

Some pet boarding facilities, including the one at your veterinarian's clinic, offer grooming at the end of your pet's stay. Grooming helps ensure your pet is clean and fresh when they return home with you.
