Your four-legged friend is an integral part of your family, and here at the Animal Clinic of Council Bluffs, we understand and cherish that bond. Ensuring your pet’s well-being, happiness, and safety is critically important, especially when you have to be away from home. When travel plans or other commitments arise, deciding who you can trust to care for your pet can be daunting. However, boarding your furry pal at our facility offers myriad benefits that extend far beyond accommodation. Here, our team highlights the advantages of choosing veterinary boarding for your four-legged family member.

#1: Your pet will receive expert care and supervision 

While boarding facilities typically employ people who love animals, veterinary hospitals are staffed by people with knowledge and skills to back up that passion. Boarding your pet at our hospital ensures they will receive gold-standard care from highly trained team members who are knowledgeable about pet behavior, health, and medicine. From administering medications to monitoring health conditions, we care for your pet when you are out of town.

#2: Your pet will receive emergency care if needed

One of the primary advantages of veterinary boarding is the constant health monitoring provided by our experienced staff. At the first hint of any abnormality, or in the event of an emergency, immediate medical attention can be administered. This care level ensures any health concerns are promptly addressed, providing peace of mind for pet owners.

#3: Your pet will receive tailored medical care

For pets with special medical needs, such as diabetes or arthritis, veterinary hospitals offer tailored care plans. We will administer your pet’s medications on schedule, ensuring they receive the correct dose and administration route. Our professional caregivers are also trained to recognize potential adverse effects your pet may experience, whether caused by the medication or their conditio, and seek immediate veterinary attention if necessary.

#4: Your pet will be housed in a hygienic environment

Although stringent disinfection measures should be in place at any boarding facility, veterinary hospitals prioritize cleanliness and hygiene to prevent illness spread. Our team understands how devastating infectious diseases can be to your four-legged friend, so we are diligent about sanitation practices to reduce pets’ exposure risk to parasites, bacteria, and viruses. 

#5: Your pet will enjoy social opportunities

When your pet stays at our hospital, they will be with people who know them best—aside from you, of course. Your furry pal will take comfort in one-on-one attention coming from a familiar face, which will help alleviate your pet’s anxiety or loneliness.

#6: Your pet will thrive on a structured routine

Pets thrive on routine, and when you board your furry pal at our hospital, we will provide a structured feeding, exercise, and rest schedule. Because our team members stick to your pet’s normal schedule, we help maintain familiarity and can reduce the stress and anxiety your furry pal may feel by being away from home. 

#7: Your pet’s nutritional needs will be met

Veterinary professionals understand nutrition’s critical importance in maintaining your pet’s health. Whether your pet requires a specialized diet or has specific dietary restrictions, our team will ensure their unique dietary needs are met during their stay.

#8: Your pet will have convenient veterinary care access

Boarding at our hospital offers the added convenience of access to on-site veterinary services. Routine vaccinations, wellness exams, or appointments for monitoring a chronic condition can be scheduled during your pet’s stay, saving you time and providing comprehensive care in one location.

#9: You will experience peace of mind about your pet’s well-being

Perhaps the most significant benefit of boarding your pet at our hospital is peace of mind. Knowing your furry companion is receiving expert care in a safe and nurturing environment allows you to focus on your commitments without worrying about your pet’s well-being.

Boarding your four-legged friend at our veterinary hospital offers myriad benefits that extend beyond accommodation. From expert care and health monitoring to tailored medical attention and socialization opportunities, veterinary boarding provides a comprehensive solution for pet owners. Leave your pet in capable, dedicated hands by scheduling their boarding stay with our Animal Clinic of Council Bluffs team.
