Preparing Your Pet for Boarding

Before your pet’s boarding stay, it’s important to ensure they are healthy and up to date on all required vaccinations. At Aboite Animal Clinic in Fort Wayne, IN, our veterinarian performs wellness exams that help identify any underlying issues that could affect your pet's experience. Even mild symptoms, like coughing or a loss of appetite, should be addressed ahead of time. A quick visit allows our animal hospital to confirm your pet is fit for boarding and offers peace of mind.

Update Preventive Medications and Records

Boarding facilities often require proof of parasite prevention and vaccination history. If you haven’t reviewed your pet’s records recently, now is a good time to check that everything is current. Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention is essential to protect your pet and others in a shared space. Our clinic can help you update any treatments or documentation required for pet boarding.

Pack Familiar Items for Comfort

A new environment can cause stress, so including a few familiar items can make your pet feel more at ease. A favorite blanket, toy, or even a piece of clothing with your scent can offer a sense of security. Be sure to also pack enough food for the entire stay, along with any medications your pet takes regularly. Clear instructions help our staff maintain your pet’s routine while you’re away.

Communicate Feeding and Care Instructions

Providing specific instructions about your pet’s feeding schedule, medical needs, and behavior makes a big difference. If your pet tends to be anxious or has dietary restrictions, sharing that information helps us deliver better care. Let us know how your pet interacts with other animals and if there are any triggers to avoid. Clear communication allows our animal hospital team to provide personalized attention.

Visit the Facility in Advance

If your pet hasn’t stayed with us before, we recommend visiting Aboite Animal Clinic ahead of time. This gives your pet a chance to become familiar with the surroundings and staff. For owners, it provides an opportunity to ask questions and review our boarding setup. Finding a veterinarian near you who also offers pet boarding ensures continuity of care during your time away.
