BOARDING your pet at Countryside Veterinary Hospital, you can rest assured that your pet will be in the trained, caring and capable hands of our animal care specialist team.

Countryside is Pet Care Services Association Accredited (formerly known as the American Boarding Kennel Association).  PCSA Accreditation means we are in compliance with the standards of this national organization. We have participated in PCSA's Voluntary Facilities Accreditation (VFA) Program and have successfully completed an on-site evaluation by PCSA. Our grooming and kennel manager has received the further personal PCSA achievement and distinction of C.K.O., Certified Kennel Operator, by testing for and passing the PCSA's rigorous national C.K.O., examination.

 

Here at Countryside, we understand that the decision to board your pet at a kennel is a decision not to be taken lightly. It is difficult to think of your pet out of his/her home environment while you are on vacation. 

We strive to provide the finest services available in veterinary medicine and pet-care today. During a past hospital expansion, we devised a state of the art boarding facility with separate wards for Dogs, Cats, and Exotics.

Boarding at Countryside is provided as a service to our veterinary clientele. If your pet has never been to our hospital, it is easy to become a veterinary patient/client. All that is required is a pre-boarding examination by one of our veterinarians, and a copy of your pet's recent vaccination history.

All dogs, cats & ferrets must be up-to-date on distemper & rabies vaccinations and be fully examined by one of our staff veterinarians within the past year of the pet's boarding stay. All dogs must also be up-to-date on the kennel cough vaccination and proof of yearly negative fecal (stool sample) and heartworm tests are also required. All other pets must be examined within one year of the boarding stay. We also strongly urge all clients who board their dogs in kennels, travel with their dogs, or whose dogs play with other dogs, to have the canine influenza vaccine administered to their dog for further protection against this newly emerging potentially life threatening virus. (For more information on canine influenza virus click here.)

One of the many benefits of boarding your pet at our veterinary facility is that if your pet should become ill for any reason during a boarding stay, a veterinarian or certified veterinary technician is available on premises for assistance. Your pet can then be treated accordingly by the doctors and staff that you trust most, your own veterinary hospital, without transferring your pet off of the Countryside property.

Countryside strives to give that extra something to make every pet's stay enjoyable, allowing owner & pet to both have a relaxing vacation.

For any boarding related questions and/or more information about our boarding facility please contact our kennel manager, Judi Wanamaker, C.K.O. at (978) 256-9555 or any one of our kennel staff at the same phone number or our vet@cvhonline.com email address.
