Requirements for Boarding
To ensure the health and safety of all the pets in our care, we have the following requirements:
Vaccinations
All pets must be up-to-date on vaccinations. For dogs, this includes rabies, distemper, and Bordetella (kennel cough). For cats, rabies and feline distemper are required.

We require that pets are flea-free before their stay. If you’re unsure of your pet’s flea prevention status, we can provide a treatment upon arrival.
Pets must be in good health for boarding, and any medical needs or behavioral concerns should be communicated in advance. Pets with contagious illnesses may need to be rescheduled. Ensure vaccinations are current, flea prevention is in place, and bring any necessary medications with instructions. This helps us provide a safe and comfortable stay for your pet at Athens Animal Medical Clinic.

Preparing for your pet’s boarding stay ensures a smooth, comfortable experience. By following a few steps, you help your pet adjust to their temporary home, maintaining their routine and reducing stress.

To prevent digestive upset, pack your pet’s regular food to maintain dietary consistency. Bring it in labeled portions with clear instructions on feeding times, and consider including favorite treats to keep your pet comfortable and happy during their stay.
Bringing Medications
If your pet takes medication, pack enough for their entire stay and provide detailed instructions on dosage and administration. Make sure the medication is in its original container, and inform staff of any special storage needs or additional treatments like supplements.
Including Familiar Items
Bringing familiar items like toys, blankets, or your clothing with your scent can help reduce stress and provide comfort. These familiar objects can make your pet feel more at ease in a new environment, helping to ease separation anxiety.
