Boarding
Your pet's home away from home.
Boarding is available to our current patients only
Located in Pickens, Pickens Animal Hospital offers pet boarding for cats and dogs so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.
At Pickens Animal Hospital, we know the importance of finding the perfect boarding facility. We are dedicated to making your pet's vacation as comfortable and satisfying as possible, and we promise to take care of your furry friend as if they were our own.
Our Newly Renovated Boarding Facility Features:
- Indoor climate-controlled environment
- Exercise areas
- Protection by a 24/7 security system
- Monitoring by staff trained to recognize health problems
- Safe kennels are designed to contain canine and feline escape artists
- Premium maintenance foods

To ensure the health and safety of all pets in our facility and our pet care staff, medical requirements for boarding have been established. When you call to make a boarding reservation, a staff member will check your pet's file and verify that the medical requirements have been met.
Based on input from our clients, we are proud to offer this optional service:
- Extra play time
Note: Our standard service includes 3 daily exercise sessions Monday through Friday, and 2 daily exercises on Saturday and Sunday.
Reservation and Check-In Procedures:
- Boarding reservations are strongly recommended, especially during holidays.
- All boarding pets must be admitted and discharged during posted office hours.
- Make a list of medications your pet takes and bring prescriptions in their original containers.
- If your pet is on a special diet, pack and label clearly enough food for their stay. Disposable plastic containers or "Ziploc" bags labeled with permanent markers are best.
- Be ready to provide phone numbers and emergency contact information. You will be asked to complete our Boarding Treatment Information and Permission Form to advise us how you want any health issues that may arise while you're away to be handled.
Please email your pet's medical records to us at pickensah@yourvetdoc.com prior to their stay.
