Animal Hospital of the Rockies

Boarding and Day Care

Our boarding facility is the nicest in town, but you don't need to take our word for it. You are always welcome to stop by for a visit before entrusting your pet to our care.

Dogs enjoy our large, clean kennels with heated floors, a large outdoor play area, and lots of TLC. All dogs are allowed access to the play area a minimum of four times per day, where our staff may indulge your pet with a game of fetch, a good rub down, or a game of tug-of-war. We also provide supervised play time with other dogs at your request.

Cats rule the roost in our cat room, and enjoy spacious, clean condos with a small loft. The cat room has scratching posts and towers, plus a large window for staring into space while contemplating the great cat mysteries of life. Cats get to explore the room one at a time.

Proof of vaccination is required for the safety of our guests. If your pet does not have vaccine documentation, or if you have questions about our policy, please contact us for more information. Under no circumstances will we accept a coughing or noticeably ill pet for boarding.

For dogs: rabies and distemper vaccines must be current, and bordetella (kennel cough) must have been given within the last six months. Your pet must also have proof of a physical exam given within the past year.

For cats: rabies and feline distemper vaccines must be current. Your pet must also have proof of a physical exam given within the past year.

You are welcome to bring whatever your pet requires to be comfortable, including bedding, toys, his or her own food, or medications. Please note: state regulations require that all medications be in their original containers with the orignal label, otherwise we cannot administer it. State regulations also require that your pet's food be stored in an airtight, waterproof container labeled with your pet's name. It is very helpful if you label all of your pet's belongings.

To save time, you might also bring a copy of our boarding form, which you will need to fill out before your pet's stay. If this is your pet's first stay with us, we will also need you to fill out our new client form.
