Boarding at Riverbark Veterinary Hospital Spring Lake's Pet Retreat

Your pet’s comfort and well-being are our top priorities.

Our dedicated staff uses their knowledge of animal care to keep your pet healthy and happy during their stay.

We offer separate boarding facilities for cats and dogs so our feline friends can have a little peace and quiet during their stay.

About Our Pet Boarding Facilities

We take great pride in maintaining a clean and comfortable facility for your pet.

Our spacious, temperature-controlled boarding area ensures your pet stays comfortable, while our friendly and caring staff provides plenty of attention and care throughout their stay.

Should any medical problems arise during your pet’s stay, you can have peace of mind that our veterinarians will make sure they are treated appropriately.

Dog & Cat Boarding Requirements

All boarding guests must be up-to-date on vaccinations. If your pet requires any vaccinations before staying with us, we are happy to provide the vaccines for an additional fee.

We require cats to be up-to-date on:

We also require our pets to have a fecal test prior to boarding with us.
