 USEFUL FORMS     

Metairie Small Animal Hospital has continued to offer the best in small animal boarding services for over fifty years. All boarding animals are housed in climate controlled compartments and are monitored closely by our doctors and staff throughout the day and night. To assure your pets' health and safety while visiting with us, each boarding animal is seen by a doctor on a one on one basis each day.

While boarding with us, your pets are never left unattended. Metairie Small Animal Hospital employs a staff of nearly thirty Veterinary Assistants and Kennel Personnel to ensure that your pets receive the best care available. We are also pleased to provide an overnight Veterinary Technician to guarantee that your pet is never alone—even throughout the night.

We will happily administer any medications, supplements or vitamins as requested while your pet is boarding with us.

If your pet has any special needs, please notify a member of our Receptionist Team when delivering your pet. Any special needs can be addressed throughout your pets' stay.

We proudly feed all of our boarding patients Hill's Science Diet. Special diets and Prescription diets can be provided upon request. If your pet normally eats food other than Hill's Science or Prescription Diet, we encourage you to bring that food in with your pet to alleviate stomach upset usually associated with abrupt changes in diet.

Canine Boarding Facilities

All dogs are kept in large, comfortable runs that are appropriate for their size. Each compartment is equipped with an elevated bench on which your pet can rest as desired. Each dog's area is accented with windows (made of an unbreakable, transparent material) to alleviate stressful feelings associated with being "closed in." All dogs are walked a minimum of three times each day in our walking and exercise area.

Feline Boarding Facilities

All cats are housed in a separate area of the hospital to offer seclusion and minimize stress. We offer two types of boarding compartments for our feline patients. One is a roomy area in which your pet can relax while visiting with us. The other is a Kitty Condo that comes equipped with elevated shelves on which your cat can rest or play. When requesting a Kitty Condo, you also have the option of reserving more than one compartment to give your pet the freedom to explore two or more inter-connected enclosures. Our Feline Boarding Room is lined with windows, facing all of the boarding compartments, so your cat can have a look outside and enjoy the sunshine!
