Boarding & Grooming

We know the decision to board your pet at a kennel is not to be taken lightly. It's difficult to think of your pet out of his or her home environment while you are away. Our goal at the Berkeley Dog & Cat Hospital is to minimize your pet's stress with attention, kindness, and exercise. All our guests are cared for by compassionate, well-trained, and experienced staff.

One of the many benefits of boarding your pet at our veterinary facility is that a veterinarian is available on the premises 24 hours a day should your pet need assistance for any reason. Best of all, your pet will be treated by the doctors and staff that you trust most.

At BD&C we offer:

• Private indoor dog area
• Large outdoor play area
• Separate cats only room
• Cat play room
• Fresh linens and housekeeping daily
• Exercise time twice a day
• Pet report cards
• Premium pet food
• Discounted baths (for canine boarders)
• Medical boarding for pets with special needs
• Properly administered medications
• TLC package: extra play times, frosty treats, kong, catnip toys, brushing & massage
• Free Bath after 7 days of boarding by request (not available during holiday blackout) (long hair dogs will be getting a dry shampoo)

Boarding Guidelines

Each pet staying with us must be current on the following vaccines:

• Dogs Annual Rabies, Canine Distemper/Parvo Combination
• Cats Feline Distemper Combination

All animals must have been examined by one of our staff veterinarians within the past year of their boarding stay.

Should any pet become ill, their condition will be assessed, the owner will be contacted if at all possible, and they will be treated accordingly at the owner's expense.

We will not accept medications that are not in their original prescription bottles for our kennel patients. State regulations require that all medications be in their original containers with the original labeling.

Check-In and Check-Out Procedures

Our check-in and check-out procedures ensure an easy, hassle-free transition for and your pet:

• All pets will be checked in by one of our animal care attendants. A boarding health examination will be performed to ensure all pets staying at BD&C are healthy and free of disease and external parasites. There is no charge for this examination if performed by the animal care attendant. If your pet has not been seen here before or has not been seen within the last year by one of our Veterinarians, a pre-board health exam by a Berkeley Dog & Cat Veterinarian is required with an additional cost. These exams help protect all pets in the facility from communicable diseases..

• Pets are admitted into and discharged from the hospital between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.

• Boarding is charged per night with a one night minimum.

• Day boarding is from 8 a.m.-8 p.m.
