Boarding for dogs
Owners can choose to board their dog(s) in an indoor only run or a run where they can be inside or outside. We provide Science Diet food to our boarders along with fresh water. Owners are welcome to bring their own food. Medications will be dispensed as needed for an additional charge. Dogs will be let out at least twice per day to relieve themselves. In addition, every dog is walked mid-day. Every run is furnished with a comfy cot and blanket. Owners are welcome to bring items from home, except for foam beds.
Boarding for cats
At Gardner Animal Care Center, each cat is provided with a five-story, luxury condo, complete with four-post bed. Science Diet cat food will be provided, unless owners bring food from home. Cats have access to fresh water along with a personal liter box. They are given time to roam the play area, use the scratching post, play with toys, and explore. Other cats may prefer watching our nature videos or listening to classical music.
Vaccination Requirements
Dogs: DHLPP, Rabies, and Bordetella (for Canine Cough)
Cats: FVRCP, Rabies
We recommend that pets are on a form of flea and tick control as well as heartworm preventative. Pets with fleas/ticks will be given a mandatory treatment of Frontline (cost based on dose per weight).
Very Important Pets (VIP) Program
Our "Very Important Pet" Program offers your pet extra special attention during their stay. For an added fee, we will spend time doing what your pet enjoys the most. This may include playing fetch, going for an extra walk, being brushed and petted, or playing with toys. At the owner's discretion, dogs can be involved in play groups where they can socialize with other dogs of similar temperament.
Doggie Daycare
We offer a friendly atmosphere for pets to enjoy their own "play day." This allows dogs to get the socialization and exercise they may need while owners are at work. Please call a day before to ensure there is enough space available. Click here for more information about Doggie Daycare at Gardner Animal Care Center.
