Have your pet stay in our award-winning pet boarding facility for dogs, cats, and other small pets. We can ensure a safe and comfortable environment at Kingsdale Animal Hospital
Most boarding facilities are staffed by people who genuinely care about animals, and that matters. But at a trusted animal hospital in Kitchener, your pet boards with the Kingsdale veterinary team. If something comes up medically, we're here to take care of it.
We've been caring for pets in Kitchener since 1973. Our team knows how to read a pet, and that experience shows up in how we handle every boarding stay.
If your pet needs vaccine updates before their stay, we can take care of that right here. No extra trips, no extra stress.
*In the uncommon circumstance that your pet requires medical attention, we will first attempt to contact you and/or your emergency contact to discuss what is happening and our recommendations.
We're updating our drop-off and pick-up hours to better serve our boarding clients!
From Monday to Friday, drop-off is between 1:00-5:00 pm and pick-up is between 9:00 am-12:00 pm. On Saturdays, drop-off runs from 1:00-3:00 pm, with pick-up available 9:00 am-12:00 pm. Sunday pick-ups will remain the same; pre-arranged and pre-paid at drop-off, and still between 2:00-3:00 pm. (Earlier drop-offs and later pick-ups are available at an additional cost).
This new schedule helps us streamline our check-in and check-out processes, giving your pets a chance to settle in comfortably and ensuring our team has plenty of time for personalized care.
We love pets too! That's why your pet will be looked after by people who are passionate about animals. They'll take good care of them and give you peace-of-mind knowing that they're safe with us.
All dogs are walked several times throughout the day and have ongoing interaction with our animal care attendants.
Cats enjoy their own separate room and have regular socialization sessions with our caring animal attendants.
ALL pets receive daily doses of T.L.C. from our caring kennel attendants!
Our average guest to attendant ratio far exceeds an average Kitchener pet boarding facility.
Our Kitchener boarding facility welcomes more than just dogs. Cats, rabbits, and pocket pets are all cared for under the eye of our trained veterinary team. Any issue during your pet's stay gets handled right here, because we're right here.
Full service and all-inclusive boarding for every type of pet
Bring these essentials with your pet so we can give them the care and comfort of home.
Their Regular Food
Switching food during a stay can cause stomach upset, so keeping their diet consistent helps them settle in.
Medications & Instructions
Bring any medications your pet is currently taking along with written dosing instructions. Our staff can easily administer them during their stay.
A Comfort Item from Home
A favourite blanket or toy that smells like home. Familiar scents help reduce anxiety, especially for first-time boarders.
Vaccination Records
Required for first-time boarding visits. We also require proof of flea protection. If your pet is not on a preventative, we can provide it here.
Collar, Leash & Harness
Please label everything with your pet's name. For their safety, every dog is double-leashed on all walks.
