Pet Boarding

At Arden Animal Hospital, we maintain a clean and comfortable environment for all of our boarded pets.  Our highly trained and attentive staff interacts with your pet multiple times a day, during feeding time, cleaning time and of course playtime.  Boarding your pet with Arden Animal Hospital provides you with the peace of mind knowing your pet is safe and secure and has access to veterinary care if needed. 

Our dog kennels are a good size (3 ft. by 5 ft) and allow enough room for even large dogs to be comfortable. Each kennel has a glass block window allowing natural light to come in. We also have several sky lights throughout the kennel area that allow for natural light to come in as well. Our kennel gates allow dogs to easily see out and to keep an eye on the activities going on around them. We have a fun backyard with shade trees, grass and room to stretch legs and play a bit.

While our facility is lovely, we feel it is best for our mature canine friends who are happy with lots of quiet nap time and are not in need of lots of play and run time to burn off energy. There are so many wonderful boarding facilities in the Sacramento area who offer large living spaces, group doggie playtime and extra optional playtime activities and we certainly recommend these facilities for our puppies and younger, high energy dogs who need to be boarded. Pet sitter's who come to your home are also wonderful boarding options for any pet. 

Our "cat condos" are located in our quiet cat friendly room that offers your cat a clean, comfortable place to stretch out and relax. We have two sizes of condos, our large condos have 4 levels of livable space as well as a private litter box area. Our medium condos have two levels of livable space and a private litter box area as well. All condos have glass fronts allowing your feline friends to get in plenty of sight seeing and have interaction with people throughout the day. The large condos have glass backs in addition to glass fronts that open up to a glass block area of our hospital that allows lots natural light to come in, which is especially good for sunbathing.
