Time flies! It's time to make holiday boarding reservations at Northwest Animal Hospital and we understand that one of the often over-looked stressful part of travel is leaving your pet in the care of others. Careful planning, however, can help ease anxiety for both pets and their owners. Northwest Dog Boarding Kennel and Cat Boarding staff have been with our organization for more than a decade. Knowing you are placing the care of your pet in the hands of someone experienced should give our clients confidence and comfort knowing that they are being watched closely.  Overlooking this can have disastrous consequences

What to look for in kennels: Cleanliness, including regular changes in bedding Centrally monitored fire alarms Immediate access to the veterinarian if medical care is needed Regular walks on a leash and personalized care Open 7 days a week Medications given correctly by a trained technician Secure well built facility Staff that asks for contact information and verification of vaccinations

When selecting a kennel/boarding facility, consider the facility’s cleanliness and housekeeping, which are essential to the prevention of contagious diseases such as kennel cough, canine flu or other illness. By maintaining higher standards our kennel has prevented numerous common problems associated with boarding your pet.

Professional experience is important.  The neighbor’s child or someone down the block is generally not the best choice. Get someone who is paid on a regular basis, knows animals and what to look for, and is in immediate contact with the veterinarian  in case there’s any problem.

We follow strict control measures by isolating any sick pet so as to not cross contaminate between the hospital and boarding kennel.  By doing so all pets are protected.

We encourage clients to stop by for a tour to see the difference!
