Why Choose Veterinary-Supervised Boarding?

Your pet’s health and safety are our top priorities.

At NVC Richmond, our boarding is more than just a place to stay—it’s veterinary-supervised care. Unlike standard kennels, our trained staff closely monitors your pet and knows how to recognize early signs of illness or discomfort. If any concerns arise, your pet has immediate access to our veterinary team for prompt attention.

Need a few things done while your pet boards with us? We can take care of wellness exams, vaccines, nail trims, or a bath during their stay—just let us know when you check in!

Some pets do best in a veterinary-supervised environment—especially those with medical needs or who require closer monitoring. Pets who benefit most from staying with us include:

 

  • Recovering orthopedic surgery patients
  • Chronic illness pets
  • Diabetic pets
  • Mobility-impaired pets, such as pets, including seniors, suffering from arthritis, muscle atrophy, or paralysis
  • Pets requiring daily rehabilitation, hygiene care, subcutaneous fluids, or injectable medication

What to bring for your pet’s stay

Our well-appointed boarding services simplify packing for your pet. To ensure your furry friend’s favorite things don’t become damaged or lost, we recommend leaving special toys and beds at home—but don’t worry, they’ll have plenty of options here! Instead, please bring the following items:

Food

If your pet is on a veterinary diet or has a sensitive stomach, bring enough food for your pet’s stay, along with detailed feeding instructions.

Medications and Supplements

Bring these items in their original packaging so that our team can read the labeled dosing instructions. Please request any refills you need prior to drop-off, to ensure we have the item in stock.

Care Instructions

Let us know if your pet has specific care requirements. Although we’ll ask at check-in, written instructions are always appreciated, to ensure your pet’s regular care routine remains consistent throughout their stay.

What If My Pet Needs Medication or Special Care?

Our team is trained to administer medications and care for pets with specific needs. Just provide instructions when booking, and we’ll make sure your pet gets the right care at the right time throughout their stay.
