Requirements for Boarding
We ask every cat boarding guest in Chesapeake, VA to meet a few simple requirements. These steps help keep all our boarding pets safe and healthy.
  • I verify my pet's identification tag is correctly filled out and placed on my pet.
  • All animals must be current on all vaccinations. I must provide vaccination history. Pets not current on all vaccinations may board only if vaccinations are given at drop-off. We highly recommend updating all vaccinations at least 2 weeks before any boarding stay. This helps support adequate disease protection.
  • All animals must be free of external parasites (ticks, fleas, etc.). Otherwise we treat them at the owner's expense.
  • Animals that require daily cleaning (such as baths) will be treated and charged an excessive cleaning fee at the owner's expense (~$20.60).
  • Animals that become physically or emotionally anxious may be prescribed anti-anxiety medications during their stay. This is at the doctor's discretion and the owner's expense.
  • All animals must have fecal tests performed at drop-off (or within 2 weeks of boarding) to rule out internal parasites.
  • We encourage you to bring your pet's favorite toys and bedding. We are not responsible for damaged or lost belongings. Please label all food and belongings with your pet's name and your last name.
  • Our team uses every reasonable precaution to protect your pet against injury, escape, or death during the stay.
  • Barker Animal Hospital and its staff are not liable for illness, escape, injury, or death, provided all reasonable care and precautions are followed.
