Boarding Your Pet at Southwest Pet Hospital
Leaving your pet home alone for long stretches can be stressful for both of you. At Southwest Pet Hospital, we offer a safe, caring boarding option right here at our veterinary hospital — meaning your pet is in trusted, knowledgeable hands while you are away. Whether you need a few hours of day boarding or an extended overnight stay, our team is here to make sure your pet is comfortable, cared for, and happy.
We understand that many pet owners have busy work schedules and hate leaving their dogs or cats alone at home for hours at a time. Our boarding service gives your pet a place to be loved and looked after during those long days. Pets in our care receive plenty of attention, opportunities for walking and movement, and when possible, supervised socialization with other friendly animals.
Day Boarding, Overnight Boarding, and Long-Term Stays
We offer flexible boarding options to fit your needs:
- Day Boarding: Drop your pet off in the morning and pick them up at the end of the day. This is a great option for pet owners who work long hours and want to ensure their pet is not left home alone.
- Overnight Boarding: When you need to be away for a night or two, your pet can stay comfortably in our care overnight with monitoring and attention from our team.
- Long-Term Boarding: Extended stays are also available for vacations or other longer absences. We will ensure your pet maintains their routine and receives consistent care throughout their time with us.
Post-Surgical Boarding
One of the most valuable aspects of boarding at a veterinary hospital is access to medical supervision. Pets recovering from surgery or other procedures often need more monitoring and attention than is practical at home — especially if their owner works full time. Our team is fully equipped to care for post-surgical patients, administer medications, monitor healing, and provide the specialized attention your pet needs during recovery.
If your pet has a health condition, is elderly, or is on medications, boarding with a veterinary team provides a level of security and oversight that a standard boarding kennel simply cannot offer. For senior pets, boarding at Southwest Pet Hospital also means our team can monitor for any changes in health or comfort that might be missed elsewhere. Learn more about our geriatric care services.
To reserve boarding space for your pet, call Southwest Pet Hospital at (479) 751-5601 or contact us online. We recommend booking in advance to ensure availability, especially during holidays and peak travel seasons.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pet Boarding
What types of boarding does Southwest Pet Hospital offer?
We offer day boarding (drop off in the morning, pick up in the evening), overnight boarding for short trips, and extended long-term boarding for vacations or other longer absences. We also provide post-surgical boarding for pets that need medical supervision after a procedure.
What are the benefits of boarding at a veterinary hospital?
Boarding with us means your pet is cared for by the same team that manages their health. If any medical concern arises during their stay, our veterinarian can address it immediately. This is especially valuable for pets with health conditions, senior pets, or recently post-surgical animals.
Can you board my pet after their surgery?
Yes — post-surgical boarding is one of the things we do especially well. Pets recovering from surgery often need more monitoring, medication administration, and attentive care than is easy to manage at home. Our team is fully prepared to provide that level of support during recovery.
Do pets get exercise and socialization during boarding?
Yes. Boarded pets receive walks and movement throughout the day, and when appropriate and safe, opportunities to socialize with other compatible animals. Our staff ensures that every pet in our care feels comfortable and stimulated, not just housed.
What vaccinations does my pet need to board at Southwest Pet Hospital?
We require all boarded pets to be current on core vaccinations. Dogs should be up to date on rabies, distemper combination, and Bordetella (kennel cough). Cats should be current on rabies and FVRCP. Call us at (479) 751-5601 to confirm requirements and schedule your pet’s vaccinations if needed.
