Leaving your dog in a boarding facility can feel stressful, especially if your pet has unique medical needs. Whether it’s daily medications, mobility issues, or dietary restrictions, pet parents want the peace of mind that their furry friend is being cared for with the same attention they receive at home. At our dog boarding facility, we’ve designed protocols and care plans to ensure that every pet—regardless of their medical requirements—receives personalized, professional care.
Individualized Care Plans
No two dogs are the same, especially when it comes to health. That’s why we begin every boarding stay with a consultation. During check-in, owners provide detailed information about their pet’s medical history, current medications, dietary restrictions, allergies, and special needs. Our trained staff uses this information to create an individualized care plan tailored to your dog’s unique requirements. This ensures that their health and comfort remain top priority throughout their stay.
Medication Administration
One of the most common concerns for pet parents is whether their dog’s medications will be given correctly and on time. Our team is trained in administering pills, liquid medications, and topical treatments, and we strictly follow owner-provided instructions. We maintain detailed logs to track dosages, timing, and administration methods, so nothing is overlooked. For pets with more complex needs, such as insulin injections or other specialized treatments, our staff works with veterinary professionals to ensure accuracy and safety.
Special Diets and Nutrition
Proper nutrition is vital for a dog with medical needs. Some pets require prescription diets, allergy-friendly food, or carefully portioned meals. At our facility, we encourage owners to bring their pet’s food from home to prevent digestive issues and keep their diet consistent. We also provide clean, sanitized feeding stations to avoid cross-contamination between pets. Whether it’s scheduled feedings, supplements, or specific preparation methods, we follow instructions carefully to maintain your dog’s health and well-being.
Monitoring and Observation
Dogs with medical needs often require closer supervision. Our boarding staff performs regular wellness checks to monitor appetite, hydration, energy levels, bathroom habits, and overall behavior. Any changes are documented and communicated to the pet parent immediately. If a concern arises, we contact the owner right away and consult with our partnering veterinarians to ensure quick and proper action.
Comfort for Senior and Mobility-Challenged Dogs
Elderly dogs or those with mobility issues often need additional accommodations. We provide soft bedding, slip-resistant flooring, and easy-access rest areas to keep them comfortable. Staff members assist with gentle walks, lifting support if necessary, and extra cuddle time to ensure these pets feel safe and cared for.
Emergency Preparedness
While emergencies are rare, we believe in being prepared for anything. Our staff is trained in pet first aid and CPR, and we maintain close relationships with local veterinarians and emergency clinics. If a health emergency occurs, we have protocols in place to ensure your dog receives immediate attention while keeping you informed every step of the way.
Peace of Mind for Pet Parents
Knowing your dog has special medical needs can make it difficult to leave them, even for a short period. That’s why our focus is on transparency, communication, and compassion. We keep pet parents updated through texts, calls, or even photo updates, so you know your furry friend is not just safe but thriving in our care.

From administering medication to ensuring comfort and safety, we treat every dog as if they were our own.
