Dog Boarding Service in Paoli

No one wants to leave their pet behind, but sometimes situations arise. Whether you’re out of town for a convention or it’s time for that yearly family vacation, you might need someone to watch your pet. Pet boarding services are much more than dog-sitting—if your pet is sick, recovering, or requires special meals and treatments, you need a trusted team that can cater to your fur baby’s needs.

Paoli Vetcare’s Pet Boarding Services include complete general services, medical boarding for pets with conditions, and precise treatments by veterinary professionals that can put your mind at ease during your absence. Our pet boarding center features services and accommodations that standard boarding centers can’t match, backed by the care you’ve come to expect from Paoli Vetcare.

Boarding for Dogs

Paoli Vetcare’s pet boarding services for dogs and cats have been specially formulated for the comfort, care, and attention of your fur babies.

Dogs are treated to a spacious indoor and outdoor center that allows plenty of room for playing, running, and relaxing. Your dog will have daily supervision during walks and when they are resting; in the evening they are served dinner, given additional playtime, and a final energizing walk before their bedtime. We love to answer questions about dog boarding, such as our 39 Best Dog Boarding Questions page!

Cats are fed to their owner’s specifications and veterinary requirements, ensuring their home routine is not interrupted. Paoli provides daily interaction with the kitties, which includes snuggles, playtime, and pets. Litter boxes are checked and cleaned throughout the day, and we refresh your cat’s room daily. Cat and dog boarding areas are separated, and both include medical check-ups and any additional details as per the direction of both the owner and the veterinarian.

We want your pets to feel safe with us, which is why we’ve done everything in our power to make the Paoli boarding facility a home away from home. From medical check-ups to playtime to regular feedings, you can rest easy while you’re away from your beloved pet. We also offer regular check-ins so that you can see how your dog or cat is doing!

Our Boarding Includes

Climate Controlled Dog Runs

Climate-controlled dog runs and kennels are important for canines, especially during the summer and winter months when it’s easy for them to overheat or catch a chill. Paoli Vetcare’s climate-controlled rooms are a key component of our boarding services and ensure that your dog feels cared for and comfortable.

Doggy & Puppy Daycare

Paoli’s dog and puppy daycare facilities offer daycare, enrichment, comfortable overnight boarding, training, bathing, medical, and dietary services. We feature a team of highly educated and trained individuals who know how to care for all of our canine companions. With a state-of-the-art facility and unparalleled quality care, you can rest assured that your doggy or puppy is receiving the best attention available in our area, whether they are staying for the afternoon, overnight, or for a longer visit. We look forward to treating your dog as one of the Paoli family!

Veterinary Supervision

Sometimes our pets require additional medical attention, especially if they are recovering from surgery or suffering under a particular condition. Paoli’s veterinary supervision services ensure that your pet receives extra care, along with regular owner updates. We administer medications, ensure regular feedings, and make certain that your pet receives adequate exercise and rest. With around-the-clock veterinary supervision, you can rest easy knowing that your pet is receiving the highest quality care available.

Daily Dog Walks

Dogs require regular exercise, which is why we take them out for daily walks as well as provide plenty of playtime. All boarded dogs are given an evening walk before bed, as well as daily walks (and additional walks per owner or veterinarian specification). Your dog is walked outside and in our climate-controlled dog runner areas, ensuring that they receive plenty of exercise in your absence.

Fear Free Boarding & Daycare Certification ensures that all standard and medical boarding is designed around thoughtful interactions for boarded pets. From kennel introduction to playtime to sleeping, Fear Free ensures that your pet’s environmental stressors are greatly reduced and that they receive the treatment and care required in your absence. Fear Free certified staff are given practical training and advice on exactly what to do in the case of any pet struggling with care, medications, or anxiety. Consider the Fear Free program to be an additional layer of assurance when you must leave your pet for boarding or daycare.

Prescription Diet for Sensitive Stomachs

Many pets require specific diets because of surgery, medical issues, a recent emergency, anxiety, or any number of reasons. Paoli’s veterinarians and specially trained staff ensure that your dog or cat receives the exact diet, feedings, and amount required to calm their sensitive stomachs. We can provide around-the-clock care and give you frequent updates on their status. Because our boarding services are provided by your trusted veterinarian, you know that even in your absence, your pet is receiving the best care possible.

Bathing, Medical Exams, Vaccines, and Procedures

Paoli Vetcare’s boarding facility includes many additional services to ensure that your pet’s stay is welcoming, comfortable, and soothing in your absence. We offer frequent bathing, medical exams, vaccines, medical procedures, playtime, exercise, and more. Your veterinarian and Paoli’s boarding staff will work with you to follow your pet’s required schedule to the letter.

Long Term Boarding

Sometimes things happen, and you need a dependable place where you can rest easy knowing your pet is cared for. Whatever comes up, whether it’s an emergency or a vacation, Paoli Vetcare offers long-term boarding solutions with the same level of care and attention you’ve come to expect from our daycare and boarding services.

How to Prepare Your Dog for Boarding

What is dog boarding? We do everything we can to ensure your dog enjoys their time with us, but there are a few things you can do ahead of time to ensure your pup is happy and relaxed. Packing some favorite toys, sticking to their routine, and getting required vaccinations will ensure a smooth transition from home to dog boarding.

There are many dog boarding benefits. At Paoli VetCare’s dog boarding facility, all dogs receive individualized attention. Their medical needs are professionally managed, and we can handle routine feedings, dietary restrictions, medications, and shots.

Pack Familiar Items

A dog’s temperament can change when they are brought into an unfamiliar environment. Packing familiar toys, such as their favorite chew toys, stuffed animals, or other beloved items, can ensure that they have something “normal” and dependable that reminds them of home.

Stick to Their Routine

Leading up to their pet boarding day, make sure you stick with their familiar routine and keep them on a schedule. When they stay with us, we’ll follow your lead and ensure that their routines are well managed so there are no major or upsetting surprises.

Vaccinations Required

There are certain vaccinations your dog needs before they can join doggy daycare, including the DAPP (a.k.a. DHPP) Vaccine, Rabies Vaccine, Leptospirosis Vaccine, Bordetella (Sometimes Called Canine Kennel Cough) Vaccine, and Canine Influenza Virus (Dog Flu) Vaccine. They also should be on parasite prevention medications.

Benefits of Dog Boarding at Paoli Vetcare

Improve Socialization With Other Dogs

Dogs who spend a lot of time by themselves or with their owners may not get a lot of canine socialization. Everyone needs friends, and there are many benefits that dogs gain from spending time with others—it’s important for development and well-being, improves their behavior, and helps them learn how to communicate and build confidence in a well-adjusted space.

Avoid Separation Anxiety

No one likes abrupt changes, including dogs. When your pup is left alone, it can cause separation anxiety. At doggy daycare, we’ll keep your pup on schedule, socialize them with other dogs and humans, and distract them from the fact that you’re away with play and exercise. You won’t have to worry about coming home to an accident or worry about your dog being alone!

Maintain a Fun Routine for Your Dog

Dogs love routines. Regular walks, expected feeding times, and structured playtime will ensure your pet is fun, lovable, and well-behaved. By managing your dog’s routine in daycare, you can ensure that they feel safe and don’t have to wait for a sitter or dog walker at odd hours.

Safety, cleanliness, and veterinary supervision are our top priorities—we want your dog’s stay with us to be a great one!

Increase Daily Exercise by Playing With Kennel Staff

When choosing between dog boarding or a pet sitter, it’s a no-brainer. There are so many exercise opportunities at doggy daycare, your dog might have more fun here than at home! At daycare, we have indoor and outdoor playrooms, fun time with other dogs, regular dog walks, and enrichment!
