Sydney Pet Boarding at Vetmed

Short term and Emergency boarding

Planning a weekend away? Last minute business trip? Interstate wedding? Those unexpected and unplanned trips can be stressful enough without having to worry about your beloved fur baby being safe while you’re away.

Vetmed is here for you to care for your little one for short stays (5 days max).

Our indoor boarding facilities are air-conditioned for cooling and heating, meaning your pet will be kept comfortable and safe, all year-round. A team of dedicated boarding staff are there to tend to your pet’s daily needs, your dog will be provided with:

• An individual dog kennel. At owner’s request partitions can be opened between kennels to allow dogs from the same family to share a larger area together
• Fresh bedding daily
• A few short toilet walks each day. Toilet walks are only intended for toileting purposes. If your dog requires longer walks or playtimes, we recommend contacting a dedicated boarding facility. Alternatively, you can arrange for your own dog walker to come to the clinic.
• AM and PM feeding (or to your requirements). We offer premium Royal Canin Sensitivity Control food for all dogs staying with us. If your dog is fussy or has special dietary requirements, we can feed food provided by you at no extra charge.

The boarding facility is cleaned and disinfected every day to ensure excellent hygiene is always maintained.

For young, fit and healthy dogs requiring boarding for more than a few nights, we recommend contacting Professional Pet-care since 1981 | Hanrob Pet Hotels where your dog will benefit from daily walks and play times.

During their stay pets may be treated to a day of pampering in our grooming salon. Here they can experience a luxurious wash, massage, styling and clipping, and more. Please enquire at time of booking.

Senior (over 10 yrs) and Hospital Boarding

At Vetmed we always have our patients at heart and understand all too well the stress of needing to find quality care for our pets in our absence, especially when they get old, unwell or have higher needs.

Mainstream boarding facilities can sometimes be daunting or unsuitable for older or sick animals. At Vetmed we have a more relaxed, calm atmosphere, created by having fewer kennels/animals, a design that minimises stress and allows the maintenance of high level hygiene standards. Our indoor boarding facilities are air-conditioned, so your pet will be kept comfortable and safe, all year-round. With a qualified Vet and nursing team in attendance we have the capacity to care for your pet’s higher needs, including:

• Pets with chronic illnesses
• Pets who require medication
• Elderly pets (Over 10 years)
• Pets recovering from minor surgery
• Pets with incontinence issues

Vetmed is not a 24-hour clinic, pets are unattended overnight.

All senior pets (over 10 years) and pets who require medication while boarding will incur additional fees. Please send an enquiry for availability and price estimate.
