Pet Boarding in La Porte

To ensure that your dog will be comfortable boarding with us, Bay-Porte Animal Hospital requires your pet to be dropped off for a one-time pre-boarding daycare trial run. If we find that your pet does not do well in this environment, we will contact you to pick them up. While we do everything we can to ensure pets enjoy their stay, our staff and our boarders’ health and safety are our top priorities.

Pet Boarding at Bay-Porte Animal Hospital

Your pet’s comfort and well-being are our top priorities.

Our dedicated staff uses their knowledge of animal care to keep your pet healthy and happy during their stay.

We offer separate boarding facilities for cats and dogs so our feline friends can have a little peace and quiet during their stay.

About Our Pet Boarding Facilities

We take great pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable facility for your pet.

Our boarding area is temperature-controlled and spacious, and your pet receives frequent care and attention from our friendly, compassionate staff.

Should any medical problems arise during your pet’s stay, you can have peace of mind that our veterinarians will make sure they are treated appropriately.

Dog and cat boarding amenities we feature include:

• Spacious suites for dogs and cats
• Fresh water
• Low-residue diet (or you can provide your pet’s food from home)
• 5 walks daily for dogs
• Individual playtime
• Comfortable bedding washed daily or as needed
• Medications administered if needed by trained staff

You are more than welcome to bring your pet’s favorite bedding or toys with them. We will do our best to keep track of these items so they can be returned to you at the end of your pet’s stay.

Dog & Cat Boarding Requirements

All boarding guests will require a mock visit prior to their first reservation to ensure that the pet is comfortable with our staff and facilities. They will also require a limited exam before their boarding dates to ensure they are in good health for their stay with us.

All boarding guests must be up-to-date on vaccinations. If your pet requires any vaccinations before staying with us, we are happy to provide the vaccines for an additional fee.

We require dogs to be up-to-date on:

• Canine Distemper/Parvovirus
• Rabies
• Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
• Canine Influenza

We require cats to be up-to-date on:

• Feline Distemper
• Rabies

Upon acceptance for boarding, all pets must be parasite-free. If we discover parasites on your pet while in our care, they will be treated at an additional charge.

Reservations are preferred, especially during holidays, but we can generally accommodate last-minute or emergency boarding needs.

Our boarding facility is open for drop-off and pick-up whenever the office is open.

Why Board Your Pet at a Veterinary Practice?

• Medications are administered by trained veterinary staff.
• If there is an emergency or your pet needs immediate medical care, our veterinarians and medical team are onsite for a quick response.
• If your pet requires updated vaccinations before boarding, we can take care of those before your pet's scheduled boarding date. If possible, please allow two weeks between vaccination and boarding.
• We offer veterinary exams or other medical services needed during your pet’s stay.

We welcome your questions about our boarding facilities and policies and are eager to discuss how we can make your pet’s stay as positive as possible.
