Boarding at Cascade Hospital for Animals
Play periods and special exercise packages are available for both dogs and cats. We will be happy to give any medications necessary and to feed any special diets. Your pet will be constantly monitored during its stay to make sure it is healthy and happy. A Boarding Admissions Form must be completed for your pet each time they stay with us. Your instructions on this form as to diet, exercise, and special needs helps us make your pet's stay a comfortable and pleasant experience.
Boarding Requirements
For the safety of your pet and our staff, we require the following vaccines and tests to be current at the time of boarding:
Canine Requirements
-
Rabies
-
Distemper
-
Bi-Annual Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
-
Bi-Annual fecal exam
Feline Requirements
-
Rabies
-
Distemper
-
Feline Leukemia
-
Bi-Annual fecal exam
We will be happy to give them at the time of boarding if they are due. If vaccines have been given in another veterinary office, we will need documentation to update our records.
And, because we want your dog to smell clean when he or she returns home, we require a pre-discharge bath (at a nominal fee) for those boarding with us for longer than overnight.
We can also do brush outs, flea treatments, and medicated baths at an additional charge. Cats are not required to have a bath, but our full range of services is available while your kitty is staying with us.
Often, a grooming appointment can be scheduled for the day you pick up your dog. Please schedule this at the time you make your boarding reservations.
Holiday Boarding:
During major Holidays and breaks (Spring Break, July 4 weekend, Thanksgiving, and Christmas/New Year) a $50.00 per pet boarding deposit will be collected to protect your pet's reservation. Your deposit will be returned if you cancel no later than one week prior to your reservation. We strongly urge you to make your Holiday and Spring Break boarding reservations as early as possible as our space fills quickly.
Boarding Options:
With our Stay and Play package at The Crate Escape, your dog will enjoy Doggie Daycare while they are in our care. We will give your dog hands-on attention, companionship and healthy exercise when you are away
