Pet Boarding in San Antonio, TX
Trained & Trusted
At the Potranco Veterinary Clinic, we understand there are times when you need to be away from home for business or pleasure, and no matter how much you hate it, you have to be separated from your pets. They just can’t come along. You’ll miss them, and they’ll miss you, and they’ll probably be grumpy with you for days when you get home. But you can make it up to them by sending them on their own luxury getaway while you’re gone to upscale accommodations where they’ll be pampered, coddled, well cared for, and treated like royalty. As part of our commitment to comprehensive animal care, we provide premium pet boarding services for cats and dogs and other types of pets at our modern boarding facilities. Our pet resort is fully equipped with clean, cozy, and comfortable accommodations along with deluxe amenities that your pet can enjoy while you’re away. Our staff is thoroughly trained and experienced in caring for and entertaining all kinds of pets. We guarantee they’ll be so happy they might not want to leave!
Also, if your pet has any special care requirements, we’re happy to accommodate their needs. To inquire further about our pet boarding and pet grooming facility.
Cat Boarding
We’re all cat people here at the Potranco Veterinary Clinic, and we understand that cats have their own demands and special needs that must be met. Your cat will be purrfectly satisfied with their comfortable rooms, which are just right for napping, and the large recreation area where they can play hide and seek and climb on the activity structures or just sit and watch the birds through the large windows. When it’s time for dinner, they’ll be fed only the best premium cat food and treats, guaranteed to satisfy the most finicky feline. Our cat boarding facility is separate from the other boarding facilities and the reception room, so your cat won’t be frightened and stressed out by other animals, especially barking dogs. We promise that your cat will be treated in the gracious manner they’re accustomed to when they come to stay with us.
Dog Boarding
We have spacious and comfortable kennels for our canine clients in sizes suitable for any type of dog, large, medium, or small. They’ll really enjoy our large fenced-in outdoor doggie recreation area, where they’ll get plenty of exercise, play, and attention from one of the qualified trainers on our staff several times each day of their stay. After they’ve worked up an appetite, they’ll enjoy delicious and nutritious premium dog food along with tasty snacks and treats. It’s truly a dog’s idea of heaven.
Exotic Pet Boarding
All pets are welcome at the Potranco Veterinary Clinic, whether they’re birds, gerbils, snakes, guinea pigs, or any other animal friend. We’ve seen them all and have experience caring for and feeding them.
Pet Boarding vs. Pet Sitting – Which is better?
When you and your family take trips, sometimes it is impossible to bring your pet along. When this is going to be the case, it is important to set up arrangements for your dog or cat to be taken care of by a professional, so that they get enough food and exercise when you are away. When circumstances like this come up, owners will typically either choose to hire a pet sitter (whether it be a friend, relative, or professional) or turn to a place that offers pet boarding.
Pet Sitting
When you hire a pet sitter (assuming they are not family or a close friend), they will usually charge upwards of $10 per home visit. If you have a dog that needs to be let out multiple times per day, or a cat who loves to chow through food, this can quickly add up. Hiring a pet sitter that is unrelated to you can also be problematic if your pet is not comfortable around strangers. Cats can hide and not come out while dogs can become aggressive or non-compliant. On top of this, many people may not feel comfortable letting a stranger have free reign of their home for extended periods of times.
Pet Boarding
Boarding your pet is typically cheaper, more commonly chosen by pet owners, and offers many of the same benefits as hiring a sitter. At Ellison Drive Animal Hospital and Potranco Veterinary Clinic, your pet will get plenty of exercise, have toys to play with, and even have access to high quality food to help ease stress. Our team have not only spent years helping virtually every species of domesticated pet, but are also specially trained to be able to work with even the most timid pets. We strive to provide the highest quality pet boarding experience possible, which has earned us a reputation for being one of the most trusted boarding locations in the San Antonio area. We provide dog boarding, cat boarding, and even work with pocket pets and birds!
Making Them Feel at Home
All of our pet boarding facilities are very secure and climate controlled for comfort. It’s a good idea for you to bring along some of your pet’s favorite treats and toys and anything else that you feel may make them feel at home. You can also bring any special medications and dietary items they require, and, of course, we can provide them here if you’d like. You’ll be able to talk to the vet and one of our boarding specialists about any special needs your pet may have when you bring them in for their stay.
And remember, while your pet is enjoying their vacation with us, it’s a great time to take care of any veterinary needs. Get their annual physical and dental checkups done, teeth cleaning and polishing, catch them up on their vaccinations, have them spayed or neutered, or any other things they need to have done. Your San Antonio veterinarian can do everything right here at the clinic while you’re away.
