Boarding Service

Dog Boarding

Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are our top priorities. We welcome current patients and, for dogs 35 lbs or larger, we have them visit for a half-day in advance of their first stay to ensure a smooth, positive experience. Required vaccinations (Bordetella, distemper, rabies, and a current exam) and flea/tick prevention help keep every guest healthy — and we’re happy to discuss waivers on a case-by-case basis.

During their stay, our guests enjoy regular outings every two hours, with extra breaks as needed, as well as cozy spaces to rest, play, and feel at home. We can provide all meals or continue your pup’s usual diet, and we’re fully equipped to safely administer any medications.

We encourage owners to tour our facility ahead of time and are always happy to provide updates while your pup is with us. Even on Sundays, when the hospital is closed, our concierge staff is present to ensure every guest receives attentive care and plenty of love. At every step, our goal is to make your dog’s stay as safe, comfortable, and joyful as possible — so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away

Boarding Packages / Add Ons

At Wickham Animal Hospital & Boarding, we believe every guest deserves to feel loved, happy, and at home — and our Boarding Packages are designed to make that happen! Each upgrade adds a little extra joy, comfort, or adventure to your pet’s stay, from splashing and playing to snuggling and celebrating. Whether your furry friend loves excitement or prefers cozy cuddles, we’ll make sure they’re cared for, entertained, and smiling every day. And for you, that means total peace of mind knowing your best friend is having as much fun as you are.

Adventure package:

For the pups (and brave kitties!) who live for excitement, our Adventure Package takes boarding to the next level. Each day includes an extra 20 minutes of personalized one-on-one time filled with outdoor play, enrichment games, and splashy water fun when the weather’s right. Whether it’s chasing bubbles, exploring new scents, or solving puzzle toys, your pet’s day will be full of joy and stimulation. To keep you connected, you’ll receive a daily photo update (except Sundays) capturing their adventures and happy smiles. It’s the perfect way to give your energetic pet the action-packed vacation they deserve!

Cuddle package:

Designed for our snuggle bugs, senior pets, cats, or those with gentle souls, the Cuddle Package adds a soothing touch to your pet’s stay. Each day, they’ll enjoy an extra 20 minutes of calm, loving one-on-one time with our team — think cozy cuddles, story time, brushing sessions, or simple enrichment activities that nurture the heart. Every day (except Sundays), you’ll receive a sweet photo of your furry friend soaking up the affection. This package is all about comfort, connection, and keeping your pet’s tail (or purr) content.

Spa package:

Turn your pet’s boarding stay into a luxury retreat! The Spa Package includes a soothing non-medicated bath, nail trim, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, and a refreshing blueberry facial. This special facial not only smells amazing but helps brighten the fur around the face, eyes, mouth, and paws. We even include a gentle paw soak in the same revitalizing formula. Your pet will leave feeling fresh, clean, and pampered — and looking photo-ready for pick-up!

Birthday package:

If your furry friend’s special day happens during their stay, we’ll make sure it’s a birthday to remember! The Birthday Package includes a fun-filled celebration complete with a party hat, special treat, and festive photo sent right to you so you don’t miss a moment. Your pet will feel like the guest of honor, surrounded by love and excitement from our team. Because every pet deserves to be celebrated on their big day — even while they’re away from home.

Holiday package:

Make the holidays extra merry and bright for your pet with our festive Holiday Package! During their stay, your pet will take part in themed activities or crafts that capture the spirit of the season — from Valentine’s hearts to Halloween fun. You’ll receive a themed photo of your pet enjoying the festivities, making for a keepsake you’ll treasure year after year. It’s the perfect way to keep your pet part of the holiday memories, even while they’re boarding.
