Pet Boarding

Spoil your pet with a vacation at our Premier pet resort. Our Boarding House is a smaller facility enabling us to concentrate on each individual boarder and their specific needs. The cat boarding suites are in a separate area from the dog kennels and The Boarding House guests are separated from the patients in Everett Veterinary Hospital. All of our guests receive lots of love and attention from our compassionate team and we specialize in boarding the more fragile cases that need to be on medications, injections or sub-cutaneous fluid therapy.

One of the advantages of boarding your pet at our Veterinary Hospital is that our staff is highly trained in administering oral and injectable medications properly and we use a strict routine and documentation protocol for both. They are also trained to detect any symptoms or signs of illness early and one of our veterinarians is available should the need arise.

We offer overnight and extended boarding for dogs, cats, birds and exotic pets as well as Day Care Monday through Saturday during our normal business hours.

Medical Boarding

If your pet needs more specialized care due to any health considerations, contact us about our medical boarding option.  These pets are monitored and cared for by veterinary technicians and assistants.

We understand time constraints while traveling but ask if you could please allow extra time at check in so we can gather important and accurate information for arranging your pet's accommodations. This information enables us to follow your own routine as much as possible and make this experience a positive one for your pet.

Vaccinations

For your pet's protection, all boarders are required to be current on vaccinations. See the individual species for specific requirements. If your pet is not current on these vaccines, we will provide them and board your pet in our isolation ward until the vaccines take effect. Please Note: Our isolation ward space is very limited, so ask for more detailed information about vaccinations, immune response time and boarding in our isolation ward.

If you have any questions about your pet's current vaccines, we will be happy to look into your records or contact your regular veterinarian.

Financial Policy

All pets are charged for the day of their drop off and pick up, unless you are able to pick up between 7:30 A.M. to 8:00 A.M. on Monday through Friday. This policy does NOT apply on Saturdays or Sundays and pets will be charged for their departure date.

Holidays

We will pamper your pets on holidays too; however there are NO pick-up or drop off times offered on New Years Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving, or Christmas.

Although our office is closed on these holidays, our boarding team of professionals take extra time to be sure your pets enjoy their holidays too.

Meals

We do our best to create a positive experience for your pet but being in a new environment can cause stress and may result in diarrhea. Changing a pet’s diet abruptly can worsen this situation. We serve high quality Hills Science Diet Adult Food to all of our guests and have in stock most of Hills Science Diet products. If your pet is on a different food, we ask you to bring it with you to help minimize any intestinal problems due to dietary changes. Please make sure you bring or buy enough food and we would greatly appreciate the bag and/or cans be labeled with your pet's name.

Bedding

You are welcome to bring personal items such as beds, toys and treats. The bedding must be washable and we do not accept cedar-filled bedding. Animals may chew on toys or beds, even it they do not normally at home. We will however, do our best to return all items in the same condition that they were left with us, but no guarantees can be made against damage

Specials

Toe nail trims are performed at 1/2 off the regular price on all of our boarders. All species of pets are included in this offer. Let us know if you are interested.

Dog Boarding

Dog Suites

Come tour The Boarding House and you will see that this is the place for your dog's vacation. Our dog suites are indoors and kept at a comfortable temperature. The runs and cages are designed to comfort all sizes of your furry friends including oversized runs for very large dogs.

Our boarders enjoy calming music, comfortable bedding (unless they are chewers), daily treats, fresh water throughout the day and of course, lots of love and attention from our dedicated and caring team. They are exercised a minimum of three times per day in our outdoor courtyard (complete with fire hydrants).

We also have an indoor playroom complete with a huge picture window looking outdoors, a couch, TV with DVD's and a basket full of toys. Extra playtimes can also be purchased and you can choose the activity. You may choose a walk, a game of fetch, a ball toss, a summer splash or simply cuddling on the couch.

The dog kennels are in a separate area from the cat boarding suites and The Boarding House guests are separated from the patients in Everett Veterinary Hospital.

Frequent housekeeping service assures you and your pet of a clean environment.

Vaccinations

All dogs boarding in our general population kennel must be current on their Bordetella (Kennel Cough), Distemper combination (Distemper, Hepatitis, Adenovirus, Leptospirosis, Parainfluenza and Parvovirus) vaccinations. We require a current Bordetella vaccine, unlike other boarding facilities and we sanitize ventilate our kennels thoroughly. Due to these protocols, cases of kennel cough are extremely rare at Everett's Boarding House. We also recommend the new vaccine for Canine Influenza. This vaccine helps to protect your dog from a very contagious disease that causes pneumonia.

If your pet is not current on these vaccines, we will administer them upon arrival and board your pet in our isolation ward until the vaccines take effect. Please Note: Our isolation ward space is very limited, so ask for more detailed information about vaccinations and immune response time.

If you have any questions about your pet's current vaccines, we will be happy to look into your records or contact your regular veterinarian.

Bird and Exotic Pet Boarding

Trust the veterinary hospital that treats your and PetCo's exotic pets, to also board your friend. Since we are experienced in birds and exotic animal care at Everett Veterinary Hospital, we are your best choice to board them as well. Our staff is trained to detect any early signs of illness and one of our veterinarians is available should the need arise.

Whether feathered, scaled, furred or otherwise, we will be happy to care for your pet while you are away and he/she will be kept in the appropriate environment for the species and needs. Our caring team and their frequent housekeeping service, assures you of a clean environment and proper feeding.

Requirements

1. EXAMINATION - ALL exotic pet boarders must have a complete physical exam within the last year before boarding. Since exotics hide their illness so well, this is for your pet's protection. Our veterinarians would be happy to provide a complete examination on your pets first day of boarding.
2. MEALS and TREATS - For the pet's best interest, owners are required to bring the meals and treats for their avian and exotic companions. We work very hard to provide a home-like setting for your pet, but many birds and exotic breeds are very sensitive to diet and environmental changes. Therefore, we ask that you bring their pellets, seeds, fruit, veggies, worms, tasty crawling edibles or whatever your pet would normally like to eat at home.
3. ACCOMODATONS
• BIRDS - Providing their own cage, toys and food can be helpful in reducing stress and helping them to enjoy their vacation. But, for a small additional fee, you may choose to rent one of our cages. If you choose to rent a cage, please bring in a few favorite toys to help provide more of a home like feeling. Birds are always housed in separate rooms away from other birds (unless they are from the same household).
• EXOTICS (Non Birds) - Tanks, Terrariums, food, heating elements and water dishes must be supplied by the owner for all exotic boarders to minimize the stress of a new environment. If this is not possible, please call first so we can discuss special arrangements.

Recommendations

Owners are encouraged to prepare a written schedule to be given to the animal care specialist with instructions regarding food, feeding times, special treats, temperature preferences, supplements, routine, any medication etc. This information enables us to follow your own routine as much as possible and helps makes this experience a positive one for your pet.
