Boarding Services

Alta Rancho Pet & Bird Hospital offers on-site, climate controlled indoor boarding for those times when you need to get away and can't take your pets with you.  Our boarding facility includes 17 large runs for dogs and a variety of stainless steel cages for smaller dogs, cats, birds and exotic boarders.  

While boarding with us, your pet's will be under the watchful eye of our trained staff.  Should any problems arise, they will be brought to the attention of our medical staff, evaluated and promptly treated (with your permission of course). 

Our kennels are disinfected twice daily to reduce the risk of spread of contagious disease and all pets that enter the boarding facility must show proof of current vaccinations performed by a licensed veterinarian.  All pets are inspected on arrival for the presence of fleas and/or ticks and are deloused in the event of an infestation to help protect our other boarders.  

Dogs are taken out at least twice daily and commonly three times a day for walks.  We even have 15 minute play sessions available for your pets if you want them to get some extra attention.
