Forsyth Veterinary Hospital Announces Pet Boarding Services

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., June 18, 2017 -- Forsyth Veterinary Hospital released information about its summer boarding services. These services are very popular during the summer with the season being the peak time for vacations. Boarding makes it easy for the owners of dogs and cats to ensure that they are well taken care of as the family travels.

Every time pet owners take a vacation, they must decide how to handle the care of their furry friends. Taking them along isn't just a simple matter of having them get in the car. It requires finding a string of hotels or motels willing to accept pets, slows travel time, and prevents the enjoyment of restaurants during the day while on road trips.

For all of these reasons and more, many pet owners prefer to board their animals. A pet that is boarded at a good facility can look forward to plenty of space as well as everything it needs to stay healthy. Therefore, it isn't just more convenient for the owners, but better for the dog or cat.

"Boarding pets here at Forsyth Veterinary Hospital saves them from the stress of being cooped up in the car or an air travel crate, constant motion, and the possibility of getting lost. It also saves pet owners from the many inconveniences involved with safely transporting their animals on long trips. Since we're a veterinary hospital, pets boarded here also gain the benefit of being within feet of excellent medical care should the need arise," said Dr. Ruth Gillis, DVM, veterinarian and owner of Forsyth Veterinary Hospital.

To avoid the spread of disease, Forsyth Veterinary Hospital requires dogs and cats to have a few key vaccinations. For dogs, these are vaccines against rabies, Bordetella, parvo, and distemper. Cats need to be protected against rabies and feline distemper. If pets haven't had these shots, they can get them at Forsyth Veterinary Hospital.

Rates are charged by each night the pet stays, and Forsyth Veterinary Hospital provides all needed food and other materials. Specialty foods can be dropped off by pet owners, but it is recommended to not bring too many things from home.
