Pet Boarding & Daycare
Pet Boarding in Lakeland, FL
If you are going out of town, bring your pet to the Edgewood Animal Clinic! We are proud to offer pet boarding under the supervision of our veterinary team. We cater to all of your pet’s needs while they’re in our care, including lots of personalized attention.
When your pet is ready for some downtime, they’ll have plenty of space to rest in our large, temperature-controlled runs. By choosing us, you can rest assured that if your pet has a health concern while you are away, they will be in the best hands possible.
We offer an assortment of cage sizes, from small and secure to long and roomy for comfort and exercise. We normally utilize our large kennel runs for pets when available. Chain link doors allow pets to see each other if other family pets are present.
Secure closures with daily fresh water, morning and afternoon feeding, and clean, comfortable bedding allow your pet to be safely kenneled and cared for. We prefer to use our bedding, which ranges from fleece to soft sheets and blankets, to avoid damage from bleach or lost identity tags. You are welcome to bring toys from home to encourage play and familiarity.
All pets are under supervision by kennel technicians who spend time outdoors with each pet separately to allow exercise, elimination, and play. The yard is enclosed by secure six-foot privacy and chain link barriers with perception fences. Yard maintenance is performed daily for cleanliness and security.
Doggy Daycare
Doggy daycare is a great way for your dog to socialize and burn off excess energy. Additionally, if your dog suffers from separation anxiety, doggy daycare can help them build confidence over time.
Our first priority at doggy daycare is safety. All dogs are under constant staff supervision while playing. All dogs attending daycare are carefully screened to ensure they will make good playmates for your dog.
Vaccine Requirements
Your pet must be current on vaccines. If not vaccinated by us, proof of vaccination, including a rabies certificate, will be required.
Boarding FAQ
How often are my pets let outside and played with?
Pets go outside a minimum of two times per day, usually more.
Do we need to bring our own food?
You can, but it is not required. If you bring your own food, we ask that it be bagged up per meal or per day and not to bring a giant bag or plastic container. Hills Science Diet Sensitive Stomach is fed unless other arrangements have been made. All medications, feedings, and eliminations are recorded daily.
How do you make the boarding space optimal for dogs?
Sound shields lessen noise, and soft intercom music plays at night. Skylights provide pets with moonlit evenings when the clinic is closed, so they’re never in complete darkness.
Can I take a tour of the kennel before boarding my pet?
We welcome visitors for tours of our kennel facility. Due to limited space, we only kennel our clients’ pets. Each pet must be current on vaccinations and free of parasites.
I have never visited Edgewood, but I would like to board my pet. Do you allow pets that are not current patients?
We welcome new clients and patients. An exam will be performed on new pets to establish a client/patient relationship with Dr. Lee.
Do you offer baths at the end of boarding stays?
Complimentary bathing is offered for pets who stay with us a week or more or have soiled themselves. Our boarders go home smelling better than when they arrived!
Should we bring a bed?
We have plenty of bedding, blankets, and quilts to ensure your pet is comfortable during their stay.
What’s the best way to contact us?
