Should I supply my pet's own food and toys?

If your pet is attached to a particular toy, or you would like to include a special blanket or similar item that reminds the animal of you or its home, please feel free to include that item when you drop off your pet with us for boarding. 

You may also bring your pet's own food, although we do provide the option to use food supplied by our facility.  We only feed pet guests top quality, highly nutritious foods.

  • "Great care of my cat! All the staff were wonderful to deal with and you can tell they really care and love what they do! Thanks for taking care of us!"

  • "Dr. Henderson is a caring Vet. We love him.
    We do not, however, love the prices Vets charge. It is more for a pet visit than a human being. I don't know how people with more than one animal afford pet care."
