Pet Boarding, Animal Vaccinations, and Pet Dental Care FAQs

Pet boarding refers to a service where pet owners can drop off their pets to be watched over and cared for while they are away on trips or need an extra hand watching their pet. These services will feed, house, and exercise your pet. They may also give them their medications and social interaction with other pets. 

Pet boarding offers many benefits such as regular physical exercise, keeping your dog fed, and socialization. You also enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your pet is well cared for and will be safe upon their retrieval. 

Pet vaccinations are a crucial part of protecting your pet’s health. Vaccines help your pet’s immune system create antibodies against harmful illnesses that can significantly impact their health. This helps ensure that their immune system can effectively handle the illnesses that they are vaccinated against.

The specific vaccinations that your pet needs will depend on the type of pet you have, their age, lifestyle, and geographic location. Consult with our veterinarians to determine the vaccinations that are best for your furry friend. 

The frequency of vaccinations depends on the type of vaccine and your pet's individual needs. Some vaccines require annual boosters, while others may be administered every three years. Your veterinarian will create a vaccination schedule tailored to your pet's specific requirements.

Just like humans, pets’ dental hygiene is important. Proper dental care will prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar which can lead to a variety of dental concerns. Pet dental care should include professional dental cleanings and at-home dental hygiene.

Signs of dental problems in pets may include:

Bad breath

Excessive drooling

Difficulty eating or chewing

Red or swollen gums

Loose or missing teeth

Discolored teeth or tartar buildup

Pawing at the mouth or face

Your pet should receive daily at-home teeth brushing. You should also schedule routine professional dental care visits to ensure that their dental health is in good standing and receive professional cleanings.
