Please feel free to call our clinic to speak with one of our kennel assistants if you have any questions. We will be more than happy to help you.
We have an enclosed boarding facility attached to the hospital, which was created for your pets’ comfort. Whether their stay is just for one night or for weeks at a time, the personal attention your pets will receive is unmatched in the St. Louis area!
Guests are monitored daily by phase-trained team members to ensure their comfort during their stay. Appetite, attitude, and elimination of urine and stool are noted and the doctors on staff address health issues. As always, routine medications are given at no additional charge to you, a benefit rarely offered by most boarding facilities. Pets with diabetes or other chronic diseases are closely monitored and clients are contacted at the earliest detection of any health concern.
Accommodations for dogs include: standard “rooms” or two levels of run “suites.” The larger runs include 50 square feet of living space and a bunk perched above floor level. The smaller runs include 20 square feet of living space and also have a raised area for sleeping or eating. The regular kennels hold dogs of all sizes up to 85 lbs. We have two dog rooms, a separate cat room, and a separate rabbit and exotic room.
Dogs are individually walked three times a day in our beautifully landscaped, enclosed exercise area for their safety. We keep your pet on the same feeding routine as they have at home. Their kennels are cleaned at least two times a day, or more if needed. All pets are monitored closely to ensure the safest stay available in the area!
Kennel Health and Safety - For the health and safety of our guests, we require that each boarding pet is current on his or her annual wellness examination and has been examined by a CCAH veterinarian at least once. All cats must be current on their FVRCP and Rabies vaccines and all dogs must be current on their DHPP, Rabies, and Bordetella vaccines. Additionally, all dogs must be receiving a monthly heartworm preventative to prevent common intestinal worms. Similarly, all dogs must be receiving some form of monthly flea prevention and must pass a flea-comb exam at the time of drop-off. These measures are in place to ensure that your pets are staying in a safe and healthy environment.
Environmental Enrichments - In addition to providing a safe and healthy environment for your pets, we want your canine and feline family members to have fun! We offer TLC programs for cats and dogs and Mid-Day Group Play for dogs. Additionally, we provide environmental enrichments for all of our pet guests. These include blankets, Kongs, Kong Wobblers, Kong Treat Cubes, and balls. Dogs listen to music programs designed specifically for the canine auditory range and cats watch videos specifically designed to peak feline interests. These videos “star” gerbils, birds, fish, and the sounds of the great outdoors. Cats stay in multi-level condos so they can change their vantage point throughout the day. Also, cat owners can elect to open portals in adjoining condos so their favorite feline can really live in the spacious lap of luxury. Finally, in addition to our state-of-the-art ventilation system which continuously replenishes the kennel with fresh outside air, we also spritz the kennel with a different pleasing scent daily, to contribute to a changing and interesting environment for our pet guests.
The TLC Program - The TLC program incorporates mid-day playtime for dogs in a safe environment, a daily treat and a photo as a keepsake from their special experience. Additional $5.00/day
Mid-Day Group Play - Mid-Day Group Play is an opportunity for your dog to exercise and play with other dogs while boarding at Creve Coeur Animal Hospital. Candidate dogs will be tested for compatibility with the other dogs of the group and will be allowed to participate based on the results of that test. A veterinary nurse will also screen dogs for fleas and oral papillomas (warts) before each playtime. In addition to these daily screenings, all participating dogs must be current on all required vaccinations, be on a heartworm and flea preventative and must have a fecal exam annually. Additional $5.00/day
