More than just a boarding facility-custom-designed boarding accommodations and personal attention are only a small part of the services Paw Prints Animal Hospital, Inc. offers to you and your pet.

Paw Prints Animal Hospital, Inc. is the "NEXT BEST THING TO HOME".

We strive to create an environment similar to what your pet is accustomed to. Your pet can have its favorite toys to make him or her feel right at home. Paw Prints Animal Hospital, Inc. also allows your pets' own blanket and bedding to help them feel at home.

Our kennel staff pays attention to the needs of all the animals, whether it be more blankets to the arthritic dogs, special flooring for the dogs with lameness issues, or no blanket for those chewers.

(Note: Paw Prints Animal Hospital, Inc. is not responsible for lost items.)

High quality care and rigid standards of cleanliness are maintained through strict daily hygiene programs. Note: Despite our rigid health and hygiene standards, Paw Prints Animal Hospital, Inc. can not be held responsible for disease or parasites your pet may come in contact with during or after boarding at our facilities.

We do not let dogs play together without the permission of both owners. Please specify if you know another dog that is coming in and would like to have play time together.
 

Tender Loving Care (TLC)
Let us pamper your pet! Our TLC program provides the special attention all pets need and allows you to design your pet's stay around his personal needs. TLC helps reassure newcomers, satisfy pampered pets, exercise active pets, and helps geriatric boarders get their joints moving. Your pet can be brushed, walked, exercised or petted as often as you specify. If your pet can't be at home, shouldn't he or she be at Paw Prints Animal Hospital, Inc.!

Feeding
Meals are served according to owner’s specification. Feeding is at 8 AM and 5 PM but your pet can be fed at whatever time he or she is accustomed to eating.  Clean food and water bowls are provided.  Boarders are fed premium quality pet food, available in both dry and canned.  A fresh bowl of water is always available.

Special diets can be fed if supplied (refrigeration and microwave heating is available). Your pet can also be fed his regular food if it is supplied.


Medications
Special medications can be administered to your pet by the trained veterinary staff, if supplied. There is a daily fee for administering some medications, such as ear or eye medications and antibiotics. However, vitamins and heartworm preventative are administered at no additional charge. A daily checklist is used to monitor your pet's appetite, elimination, and medication. Prompt changes in diet or environment will be made to assure maximum comfort of your pet. Enjoy your vacation knowing that your pet is safe with a trained professional staff of caregivers under the immediate supervision of a licensed veterinarian.

Should your pet become ill during boarding, the doctor on duty will be notified and your pet will be examined immediately. Medical treatment will be started to insure the health of your pet until you return to either give permission for further treatment or take your pet to your regular veterinarian. We ask that you leave us with an emergency contact number where you can be reached in the event that any medical attention is required.

Dog Accommodations
Three options available:

1. Medium runs (4 x 6 ft)
2. Large suites (3.5 x 5 ft)

Cat accommodations
Paw Prints Animal Hospital offers separate cat spaces. This quiet room is separated from the dog room, to ensure that the cats are provided with a safe and relaxing environment. Appropriate bedding, food dishes and litter boxes are provided. Litter boxes are cleaned according to high hygienic standards.

Rates
Rates are charged by the number of nights stay with the exception of Sunday which is 1/2 day. Dropping off early in the morning or picking up late in the evening during regularly scheduled hours will not cause an additional charge. All fees must be paid before a pet leaves the facility. Clients wishing to leave a pet for an extended time may be required to make periodic payments during the pet's stay, or leave a deposit.

Reservations and Deposits
A reservation must be made to guarantee a space for your pet. During holiday seasons reservations should be made six weeks in advance. A deposit is required to confirm these reservations. This deposit must arrive TWO weeks prior to the scheduled reservation. New clients are required to come in TWO weeks prior to their boarding reservations to fill out paperwork and leave a deposit. A TWO day cancellation notice is required to claim a deposit and is also appreciated, even if not claiming a deposit.
