Grooming
Falconbridge
Animal Hospital is pleased to have an experienced
groomer
on staff. He has over 6 y
ears of experience
grooming all sizes and breeds of
dogs and cats. Grooming includes bath, hair cut, nail trim and
ear
cleaning. All types of cuts are available. We ask
that
pets
being groomed be dropped off between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. The groomer
will meet
with you to discuss what you would like done. Pets are normally ready
to go home before 4:00 or 5:00 p.m. Please call for an
appointment.
Boarding & Day Care
Falconbridge Animal Hospital's boarding facility is under the supervision of our veterinarians, and trained and caring veterinary assistants. We offer an indoor, climate controlled boarding facility with large runs and spacious kennels. Our medical hospitalization area is separate from our boarding kennel to protect our boarders from exposure to illness. We welcome clients and their pets to tour our boarding facilities at any time. Holiday times book up fast, so please make your boarding reservations in advance of your trip.
We feed our boarders the same premium quality food that we feed our own pets. We are also happy to feed your pet a special diet if requested. Simply bring your own food along when you drop off your pet for boarding.
You may also arrange for our staff to administer any needed medications while boarding. All pets are monitored and checked regularly throughout the day, 7 days a week.
For the safety of your pet, as well as other boarders, we require that your pet's vaccines be up to date before boarding. We can also update your pet's vaccines before boarding if needed. See the sections below for specific vaccine requirements for dogs and cats.
Boarding for Dogs
Dogs are boarded in a spacious facility with large runs and
roomy kennels. All dogs are let out individually in a
fenced area
where they can run and play three times a day.
The vaccines required for dogs boarding in our facility are:
- Rabies every 1-3 years
- Distemper and Parvo (DHPP) every 3 years
- Lepto every year
- Bordetella (kennel cough) every 6 months
- Current (within the last 12 months) fecal flotation is required
- Heartworm test is recommended
- Current clients must have an up-to-date Wellness exam. New clients will be asked to have an in-take exam at additional charge.
Boarding for Cats
We have separate boarding facilities for our feline boarders. Individual cages are spacious enough to allow for a blanket, litter box, and food & water bowl. Depending on space availability we are also able to board cats from the same family together if desired. Availability is limited so reservations need to be made as soon as possible to ensure a spot for your cat.
The required vaccinations for cats are:
- FVRCP (feline distemper) every 3 years
- Rabies every year
- Current clients must have an up-to-date Wellness exam. New clients will be asked to have an in-take exam at additional charge.
Daycare for Dogs and Cats
We also offer daycare services for dogs and cats. Pets may be dropped off in the morning and must be picked up by 6:00 p.m. that same day. Dogs that are staying with us for daycare are treated the same as our boarders. They are walked 3 times a day and are monitored throughout the day. Owners are allowed to bring toys and snacks, which will be provided to their pets as requested.
Special Accommodations and Other Services
Many of our clients have work schedules that restrict them from bringing their pet in during the day for an appointment. In order to service those pets and pet owners we offer a "drop off" service on weekdays at no additional charge. We open at 7:30 a.m. so that our clients can bring their pet in before work and then pick them up again after their appointment and before 6:00 p.m. Should a consultation with the veterinarian be needed or requested, this can be arranged.
Some of our patients have never been boarded before or are nervous boarders and may become anxious during boarding. In these cases, we may be able to offer boarding in a quiet area. However, space is extremely limited and such availability is on a first come, first serve basis.
