Boarding

Kindness Pet Clinic offers boarding as a service for our clients. We have separate kennels for dogs and cats as well as Special Care Kennels for those pets needing extra attention. We are primarily a Veterinary Clinic and Hospital so our boarding facilities are limited.

We recommend calling well in advance to book your boarding reservations.

We have 3 foot by 6 foot runs as well as smaller kennels for the dogs, and a fenced in play yard.

Due to limited space we do have a 24 hour cancellation policy. If your pet’s boarding appointment is not cancelled 24 hours or more in advance you will be charged one nights stay per animal.
