Boarding at Whittington Veterinary Clinic
We’re proud to offer a safe, comfortable, and caring space for your pets while you’re away.
Our facility features:
- A brand-new, spacious run room
- A secure outdoor yard for supervised play
- A veterinarian on call for any medical needs
Boarding Arrival & Departure Information:
- Drop-off and pick-up must occur during business hours: Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM
- No pick-ups or drop-offs on weekends or holidays
- Boarding fees are charged per night
We also offer day boarding for a small fee—perfect if your pet just needs a place to hang out while you’re at work or running errands.
If your pet is scheduled for a procedure, day boarding is included at no charge, and we’re happy to offer free drop-off the day before surgery for your convenience.
What to Expect During Your Dog’s Stay
While boarding with us, your dog will enjoy individual outdoor time three times a day during our regular weekday hours and twice daily on weekends. Each outing is done one-on-one to ensure your pet’s safety, comfort, and stress-free playtime.
During your pet’s stay, we’re happy to provide add-on services such as baths, nail trims, and other technician care—just let us know at drop-off, and we’ll take care of the rest!
