Medications and Medical Care
If your pet takes medications, they must be brought along with your pet in their original containers and contain specific instructions. When administering treatments and medications to our cat and dog boarding guests, we monitor everything very carefully to ensure compliance with their wellness plans. We monitor and log all eating, urination, and defecation activity daily to make sure each pet is doing well. Any problems that arise are treated promptly by trained medical personnel, and owners are duly notified about their pet’s treatment.
