Pet Boarding

When life takes you away from home, let your pet stay right where they’re known and loved—with the same team that already cares for their health. Our pet boarding services at Foland Veterinary Services in Weatherford, TX, are here to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.

Boarding with a Team That Knows Your Pet

There’s a meaningful difference between boarding your pet at a general kennel and boarding them with their own veterinary team. At Foland Veterinary Services, our boarding services are available exclusively to established clients—pets who are already part of our family and whose health history, personality, and individual needs are already known to our staff.

That familiarity isn’t just a nice touch. It means your pet is cared for by people who know whether they’re typically anxious or easygoing, whether they have any ongoing health concerns, and exactly what to watch for if something seems off. It means that if a health issue arises during your pet’s stay, our veterinary team is right there—no transfer, no delay, no unfamiliar faces making medical decisions for an animal they’ve never met. For pet owners who already trust us with their companion’s health care, boarding at Foland Veterinary Services is simply the natural extension of that relationship.

Why Board Your Pet with Your Veterinary Team?

Continuity of Care

Your pet’s medical history, medications, allergies, and individual needs are already part of our records. If anything changes during their stay—a concern about appetite, a behavioral shift, or a physical symptom—our veterinary team can assess and respond immediately, with full context.

A Familiar Environment

Boarding can be stressful for many pets, particularly those who are sensitive to change or new environments. For established clients, our clinic is already a known, familiar place with familiar smells and familiar people. That comfort can make a real difference in how your pet settles during your absence.

Veterinary Oversight On-Site

Unlike general boarding facilities, our team includes licensed veterinary professionals who can evaluate your pet’s health at any point during their stay. You can leave knowing that expert eyes are always nearby—not just kennel staff, but a team with the training to recognize and respond to health concerns.

Peace of Mind for Pet Owners

Leaving a beloved pet behind is never easy. Knowing they’re in the hands of the team you already trust—the same people who give them vaccines, perform their exams, and know them by name—makes the time apart a little less difficult.

Boarding Requirements for Established Clients

To ensure the health and safety of every pet in our care, we require that all boarding guests meet current health and vaccination standards prior to their stay. This protects not only your pet but every animal in our facility.

Vaccination Requirements

K
L

All boarding pets must be current on core vaccinations. Dogs are typically required to be up to date on rabies, distemper, parvovirus, and Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccines. Cats are typically required to be current on rabies and FVRCP. If your pet's vaccines are due soon, we recommend scheduling a wellness exam and vaccination appointment before their boarding stay.

Parasite Prevention

K
L

We require that boarding pets be on current flea, tick, and heartworm prevention to protect the health of all animals in our care. If your pet is overdue for parasite prevention, our team can help you get them caught up before their stay. Learn more about our parasite control services.

Health Status

K
L
Pets should be in good general health at the time of boarding. If your pet has a current illness, an active infection, or has been recently exposed to a contagious disease, we ask that you contact us before their scheduled stay so we can discuss the safest course of action.

Established Client Status

K
L

Boarding at Foland Veterinary Services is available to established clients only—pets who have an existing relationship with our practice and an active medical record on file. If you're not yet an established client but would like to become one, we'd love to meet you and your pet. Schedule a visit or access our new client form to get started.

What to Bring for Your Pet’s Boarding Stay

To help your pet feel as comfortable as possible during their time with us, you’re welcome to bring:

  • Their regular food (we recommend bringing enough for the full duration of the stay, plus a little extra)
  • Any medications they take regularly, clearly labeled with dosing instructions
  • A familiar blanket, toy, or bedding item that carries the scent of home
  • Written instructions for any special feeding, handling, or care needs

Please label all personal items with your pet’s name. Our team will follow your pet’s normal feeding routine and care instructions as closely as possible to keep their experience consistent and comfortable.

Medications and Special Care During Boarding

One of the most significant advantages of boarding with your veterinary team is our ability to manage medications and medical needs during your pet’s stay. Whether your dog takes a daily joint supplement, your cat requires a prescription diet, or your pet is managing a chronic condition that needs in-house diagnostic monitoring, our team is equipped to handle these needs safely and accurately.

If your pet has a health condition that requires special attention during boarding, please discuss it with us in advance so we can prepare appropriately. We’ll always communicate with you about your pet’s status during their stay and reach out promptly if any concerns arise.

Preparing Your Pet for Their Boarding Stay

A little preparation can go a long way toward making your pet’s boarding experience a positive one. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Schedule in Advance

Boarding availability is limited, particularly around holidays and busy travel seasons. We recommend reaching out as early as possible to reserve your pet’s dates—especially for longer stays.

Complete the Boarding Agreement Form

All boarding clients are required to complete our boarding agreement form before their pet’s stay. This can be done conveniently online ahead of time. Complete the Boarding Agreement Form.

Ensure Vaccines and Preventives Are Current

Check your pet’s vaccination and parasite prevention status well before your travel dates. If anything is coming due, schedule an appointment in advance so there’s no last-minute scramble. Our team can review your pet’s records and let you know exactly what’s needed.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up

Our team will provide specific drop-off and pick-up instructions when you schedule your pet’s boarding stay. We ask that drop-offs and pick-ups take place during regular business hours so our full team is available to receive your pet properly and complete a thorough check-in or check-out.
