A Home Away From Home
At Wachusett Animal Hospital we want to help put your mind at ease because we know it can be stressful to leave your pet alone, especially if they are sick or recovering from a surgery/procedure.
We offer complete general pet boarding services for all of our patients. We also have medical cat & dog boarding services for pets with conditions other boarding centers might not be able to accommodate.
In order to provide boarding, medical boarding or day care services to your pet, we require proof of the following:
- Up to date rabies, DHPP and Bordetella shots
- Negative fecal test result within the last 6 months
- Have been spayed or neutered at least 6 months ago
- Having passed our boarding evaluation
Pet Boarding: A Typical Day
Dog Boarding
Every morning, the dogs venture outside for fresh air and a run before breakfast. While the pups are outside, we clean and disinfect the kennels before stocking them with fresh linens.
Based on their physical capacity and ability, we take all the dogs who stay with us on a scheduled walk.
Your dog will also be supervised throughout their stay with us, during walks and while they rest. In the evenings we serve dinner and then we have one more walk outside before bedtime.
Cat Boarding
We will feed your cat based on your specifications and their requirements, to make sure their routine is the same as it is at home.
Everyday we give every kitty one-on-one interaction (if they want it!) including pets, play and snuggles. We also check, clean and disinfect litter boxes periodically throughout the day.
On top of that, we clean and provide refresh linens to your kitty's room daily. Our cat boarding area is separated from the dog area to make sure your kitty feels safe and relaxed while they stay with us.
Medical Boarding
Your cat or dog will always be supervised by our expert veterinarians and nurses, who will administer medications and closely watch over them. We will give them their required medications on the same schedule they are used to at home.
