Boarding

Picture

Vista Veterinary Hospital is your pet's "home away from home" when your special friend cannot accompany you on a vacation, business trip or family outing.

Boarding Improvements:

Vista Vet Hospital will be remodeling the boarding kennels beginning February 1st and hoping to be finished by the middle of April. During this time we will not be taking boarding reservations. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. This renovation is focusing on the comfort and health of our boarders and trying to make their stay with us as stress free as possible. We will be installing many sky lights to allow natural light in and new kennels to make it feel more open. We will offer more large kennel runs so we can better accommodate our customers and will also be adding a "quiet room" for the more anxious boarders who do better in a less noisy area. A third exercise yard will also be added which will allow us to increase outside exercise time.

We hope in the future to add a web cam in the kennels so that you may check on your pets throughout the day by going online. We are all very excited about the changes that are about to come and we hope you will like them too.

We will be having an open house when remodeling is completed and hope to see all of you there. If you are unable to make it to the open house, feel free to call or stop by anytime for a tour. Open house date will be announced later. Also, we will be posting some pictures of our new improvements.

Thank you for your patience with us during this time.
Vista Vet Hospital

Our animal caretakers have the experience and personal commitment to ensure that your pet receives the same affection and friendship he or she is used to getting from you and you will have peace of mind, knowing that skilled veterinarians are available.

  • Separate areas are provided for our canine and feline guests. We take every opportunity to reduce your pet's stress while you are away. Since both species consider eating to be a highlight of the day, Vista Veterinary Hospital serves them only premium food, Hills Science diet, although you may certainly bring in his or her favorite food from home.
  • Dogs are exercised twice daily in outdoor yards. We have 12 indoor and outdoor runs and kennels. Our Cat Condos can accommodate 2 cats from the same household, if desired
  • Optional items include Kong toys with treats and walks through a neighborhood park for our canine guests.
  • If your animal is on medication, vitamins, supplements or injections, we are able to administer those for a fee based on how many times a day those are given. Please bring all medications in their original package in case you are detained and we need to provide for those days.

There is no need to worry if you cannot make it back in time to pick up your pet: our flexible extended time boarding only requires a phone call from you to arrange a longer stay. Boarding charges are based on the day the animal comes in and including the day the animal goes home. We are now open Saturday and Sunday between 2:00pm-4:45pm for you to be able to pick-up your pet.

Important Note: In the best interests of all of our boarders, every animal must be current with his or her immunizations against species-specific diseases. Ideally, each will have received the appropriate vaccinations 10-14 days prior to arriving at Vista Veterinary Hospital since many vaccines need this length of time to build up antibodies in your pet's system.

Our boarding requirements are as follows:

Required Vaccines:
Dogs must be current on Rabies, Distemper/Parvo and Bordetella
Cats must be current on FVRCP and Rabies vaccinations.

If your pet does not receive his/her vaccines at this facility, you can bring documentation from a veterinarian that verifies current vaccinations. We ask for vaccines to be administered by a Veterinarian to insure that the serum has been stored per the manufacturers� recommendations and that the vaccine was administered properly. This is for the protection of your animal and others in our boarding facility. If vaccinations are past due, your pet must be examined and vaccinated before boarding for his/her protection.

New clients are required to pay for their animals stay at the time of admission.
