Special Considerations
At Finger Lakes Animal Hospital, we make sure that every boarding guest is our priority by providing personal attention during your pet's stay. We can provide playtime in which your pet can have additional 15 minute exercise sessions and socialization during their stay. Our kennel attendants can even put your pet through its usual obedience routine, take an extended walk, or just enjoy some cuddle time!
Does your dog or cat have a chronic medical condition, require medication, or have a special need?
Trust that at Finger Lakes Animal Hospital, we can provide the level of care needed for your pet’s special need. We welcome diabetics*, geriatrics, and any healthy pet requiring daily medications to treat a chronic disease.
*Note: Diabetics must be stable and have an exam performed by one of our Veterinarians prior to boarding admission. Veterinary Technician fees apply for administration of insulin.
Additional Services
During your pet's boarding stay, you can avail additional services at Finger Lakes Animal Hospital. For your convenience veterinary services such as wellness exams and vaccination appointments* can be made for the day of admission, so that you may be present or such appointments can be schedule at another time during your pet’s stay.
Other services include dental cleanings, spay, and neuter. Your pet benefits by being observed by our trained veterinary staff during recovery and the days that follow. Do you want your pet coming home looking their best and smelling fresh? Your pet can enjoy hands-on pampering time by having a nice bath before going home. Arrange to have these additional services performed during your pet's stay!
*Note: If you choose to have your pet's vaccine appointment on the day of admission, the pet has had to have the vaccine previously. Any vaccines that your pet will be receiving for the first time will need to be given at least 2 weeks prior to their boarding stay.
For your pet's protection and for other boarders, the following vaccination and parasite control policies are:
- Dogs must be current on Rabies, DHPP, Leptospirosis, and Bordetella (Kennel Cough) vaccines (first rounds administered at least 14 days prior). Dogs must also have proof of a negative fecal exam within the past 12 months of stay.
- Cats must be current on Rabies and FVRCP (first rounds administered at least 14 days prior).
- All boarders must be on a prescription flea control program, or can be treated upon admission.
If you are a client of another veterinary hospital we require that you either have records faxed or emailed prior to the boarding stay. For all new boarding clients we require proof of vaccines prior to booking their stay.
