However, boarding a pet comes with some inherent health risks. Just like a child going to school, your pet will be in close contact with other animals and could get sick. Kennel cough is the most common respiratory infection that dogs may contract while boarding. Cats can contract respiratory tract infections as well. Similar to the human cold, kennel cough can cause coughing and discharge from the eyes and nose. Most dogs and cats require no treatment for kennel cough, but some may need antibiotics or cough suppressants. Please call the clinic should your pet exhibit any of these clinical signs after boarding.
Stress-related stomach/bowel problems, such as vomiting and diarrhea, are very common in a boarding pet. Whether due to stress, diet change, or a combination of both, some pets may exhibit these signs during or after being boarded. While most dogs and cats do not require any specific treatment and symptoms should resolve quickly on their own, please contact the clinic if you are concerned about your pet.
