A Home Away From Home
We understand that it can be stressful to leave your pet when you need to be away from home. At Sun Valley Animal Center, we're here to put your mind at ease with comprehensive boarding services at our Pet Lodge.
At the Pet Lodge, dogs are let out of their enclosures a minimum of four times a day, for at least 20 minutes each time, depending on the weather. We have five large yards with summer swimming pools in three of these yards.
Dogs are placed in playgroups depending on their size, age, temperament, and ability to socialize. If your dog is staying in a Condo or Suite at the Pet Lodge, there is a good chance that your dog will spend most of the day in our playrooms with a dog playgroup.
What to Bring
- We have beds and blankets for everyone. If your dog has a special attachment to something, please bring it and make sure it is labeled appropriately.
- Please keep in mind that we cannot always guarantee that the item will be returned in the same shape.
- We serve Iams, Eukanuba, and Science Diet. If your pet eats something else, we can either feed him Eukanuba Lo-Residue or their own food.
- Please do not bring dishes. You are welcome to bring your pet’s regular food. We hope to minimize changes in your pet’s routine as much as possible to avoid stress.
- Please let us know how much and how often to feed your pet.
- If your pet is on medication, please remember to bring it with you. Please include detailed instructions about how much and when to administer this medication. Please make sure all containers are properly labeled.
Note: We do not charge for most medications dispensed; however, there are a few exceptions.
Services Offered
- Baths: By your request, we will give your dog a luxurious bubble bath.
- Walks: We offer a one-hour on-leash walk on the bike path along the river. Your dog must be trained to walk on a leash for this service.
- Pet Pick-up & Drop-off: Monday to Sunday: 9 am to 5 pm.
We also offer pet taxi transportation to and from your home or hotel for pet boarding or daycare. Please call us to set up this service.
Doggie Daycare Services
We offer doggie daycare for all ages and sizes. We place everyone in groups depending on their size, age, temperament, and ability to socialize. Everybody gets to play outside at least 4 times throughout a full day of doggie daycare. We offer full and half-day dog boarding rates.
Note: We do not require a reservation for dog daycare. We do ask that you bring a current copy of your pet’s up-to-date vaccination records.
Vaccination Requirement
We cannot accept pets that are not vaccinated. If there has been an overlap in vaccinations due, we recommend making a vaccination appointment with one of our doctors at least two weeks before your visit.
This will minimize stress on your pet during check-in day. If this is not possible, we can vaccinate upon your arrival.
Dog Vaccination Requirements: DAP, Bordetella, Lepto & Rabies
