At Chesapeake Veterinary Hospital, we are committed to ensuring that your beloved fur baby feels comfortable and loved while you’re away. With personalized attention and playtime, we strive to make your pet’s stay with us a positive experience!
Our canine friends are housed in our kennel environment, featuring a fenced in rock section for walks and potty breaks. Our canines are housed depending upon weight and availability of runs and cages. Our feline friends are typically housed on our hospital side.
Boarding Policies:
We are a medically supervised boarding facility; however, we do not have a staff member on duty overnight. We schedule a technician to come in after business hours on the weekend to tend to boarders and follow our detailed boarding schedule. Should your pet become ill during their stay, every reasonable effort will be made to contact you or your emergency contact.
To ensure the safety of your pet as well as others, your pet must have an annual examination once a year by one of our veterinarians. You are encouraged to schedule an appointment for an annual examination 1-2 weeks before boarding.
We require all dogs to be current with Rabies, DA2PP, Bordetella and Canine Influenza Vaccinations. If a dog is due for Bordetella or Influenza, it must be administered at least 2 weeks prior to boarding. We require a negative intestinal parasite (fecal) test within the past 12 months.
We require all cats to be current with rabies and FVRCP vaccinations. We require a negative intestinal parasite (fecal) test within the past 12 months.
While we encourage you to bring your pet’s own foods, treats, and medications as desired, all medications must be in their original labeled container. Toys and other personal belongings are encouraged to stay home, as we cannot guarantee the return of those items.
