Special Care Boarding in Schertz, TX
Leaving your pet while you go on vacation or a business trip can be an emotional experience. You want to make sure your pets are treated just as well as they would be at home. At Schertz Animal Hospital, we no longer offer general pet boarding, but we do offer special care boarding for pets with medical conditions.
Our boarding facility is run by a medically trained staff, so we can provide special care for dogs and cats with medical needs. Our veterinarians also routinely check on our boarded guests and can give medical care whenever necessary. For pets who need more frequent monitoring, we have separate kennels where our technicians can keep a closer eye on them.

We aim to make our guests as comfortable as possible while they stay with us. We offer the following accommodations:
- 22 large indoor runs, including extra-large runs for large breeds or multiple dogs

In order to provide your pet with the very best care and meet all their needs, we keep communication cards on every kennel. These are for each care provider to list all the services they provided for your pet including when walks were taken, feeding times, medication administration, and more. Doing so allows us to offer the very best of exotic, cat, and dog boarding in Schertz, TX.
Special Care for Special Needs
Since our boarding facility is run by a medically trained staff, we can provide special care for pets with medical needs. Our veterinarians also routinely check on our boarded guests and can give medical care whenever necessary. For pets who need more frequent monitoring, we have separate kennels where our technicians can keep a closer eye on them.
Cat and Dog Bathing
We offer shampooing, nail trimming, and anal gland expressions for pets who need a bit of a makeover! While we do not do specialty cuts, we can shave your pet to remove matting or other painful coat conditions. If your pet is overly anxious about the procedure, we can also do sedated shaving. Ask us about adding in cat or dog bathing or nail trimming services to your pet’s stay!
