Why Boarding at a Veterinary Facility is Safer for Your Pet
When it comes to leaving your pet in someone else’s care, their safety and well-being are every pet owner’s top priorities. Whether you’re heading out of town for a vacation or a work trip, choosing the right boarding option is crucial. Boarding your pet at a veterinary facility, like Andes Straley Veterinary Hospital, offers unmatched peace of mind. Here’s why boarding with a vet is the safest and most reliable choice for your beloved pets.
1. Access to Medical Care When It’s Needed Most
One of the biggest advantages of boarding at a veterinary facility is the immediate access to medical care. If your pet experiences a health issue during their stay, trained professionals are already on-site to provide timely and expert care. This is especially important for:
- Senior pets
- Pets with chronic conditions
- Pets requiring daily medications or treatments
At Andes Straley Veterinary Hospital, we are prepared to handle any health concerns that may arise, ensuring your pet receives the care they need without delay.
2. Trained and Experienced Staff
Unlike traditional pet boarding facilities, veterinary boarding is staffed by professionals who are trained in animal health and behavior. Our team knows how to recognize signs of distress, illness, or discomfort in pets, even when the symptoms are subtle.
Benefits of trained staff include:
- Proper medication administration
- Safe handling of pets with special needs
- Knowledge of species-specific care (including exotic pets like birds and reptiles)
When your pet boards with us, you can trust that they’re in the hands of compassionate, skilled professionals who prioritize their well-being.
3. A Controlled Environment for Safety
Veterinary boarding facilities are designed with your pet’s safety and comfort in mind. At Andes Straley Veterinary Hospital, our boarding area features:
- Clean and Sanitary Conditions: Regular cleaning and strict hygiene protocols minimize the risk of disease transmission.
- Climate-Controlled Spaces: Whether your pet is a dog, cat, bird, or reptile, our boarding spaces are kept at optimal temperatures for their comfort.
- Secure Enclosures: Pets are housed in safe, escape-proof enclosures tailored to their needs.
Additionally, dogs are exercised multiple times daily, and cats have access to spacious condos and an exercise tree for mental stimulation—all while staying in a secure environment.
4. Specialized Care for Exotic Pets
For those with exotic pets like birds, reptiles, or small mammals, finding a boarding facility that truly understands their unique needs can be challenging. At Andes Straley Veterinary Hospital, we offer a dedicated room with separate climate controls to ensure exotic pets are comfortable and stress-free during their stay.
5. Monitoring for Behavioral and Emotional Well-Being
Pets can sometimes experience stress or anxiety when away from their owners. Our team is trained to recognize signs of emotional distress and implement strategies to comfort and calm your pet. With regular interaction, exercise, and mental stimulation, we help make your pet’s stay as enjoyable as possible.
6. Convenience and Confidence
In addition to providing exceptional care, we strive to make the boarding process as convenient as possible for pet owners. At Andes Straley Veterinary Hospital, we offer:
- Sunday Pick-Up Hours: Perfect for those returning from a weekend trip.
- Pre-Boarding Facility Tours: Stop by during our normal business hours to tour the boarding area and ask any questions.
