Boarding Forms: 1. Boarding Instructions | 2. Consent
Many pets have medical conditions that require ongoing treatment of care. Some animals may also develop transient problems, such as diarrhea, while boarding. The trained staff at a veterinary clinic can easily deal with these cases.
In addition, should a elective procedure, such as dental care, vaccinations, and nail trims may be requested during a pet’s stay, this could easily be accommodated at our clinic.
Our Facilities
In a separated area from the hospital we have 28 dog kennels and outdoor exercise runs. In a separate room, we have numerous cat cages and a cat condo, which allows the cats more space to move around. This separate room helps to lesson the stress on the cats.
Boarding Fees
- Cat - $9/day
- Dog - $15/day
- Special Needs Pets - Additional $15/day
(Extra Assistance, Diabetic, Medical Injections, ETC)
**Multiple pets that are boarded together in the same cage will receive a $2.00/day discount. (1st pet is full price~2nd or more is discounted)
Amenities
- Each pet is given a fuzzy blanket for a bed.
- Separate cat room with kitty condos.
- Kennels are large enough to accommodate 2-3 dogs (depending on size & breed)
- Daily routine includes 6-7 potty breaks.
- Food & Water dishes are provided.
- If you have any special requirements or request we will try our hardest to accommodate you and your pets needs.
Requirements for boarding:
All pets must be current on their vaccinations. This includes rabies, distemper, & "kennel cough" for dogs. If a pet is not current, the vaccine for kennel cough (Bordetella) must be administered 7 days prior to admission to boarding; other vaccinations can be administered at the time of admission. The client understands that if their pet does not have a vaccination for kennel cough (Bordetella) 7 days prior to boarding Wolf River Veterinary Clinic is not responsible if the pet contracts kennel cough.
The clinic reserves the right to treat (at owner's expense) any pet admitted who is carrying fleas or ticks. We only use safe, effective products such as Frontline or Vectra 3D.

SAFE Pet Adoption - Pet of the Month
"Feb Pet of the Month-Lexy"
Many times, when we recognize a pet of the month, we are, in fact, recognizing an owner who has shown an unusual level of commitment to their pet. I have always said that dogs and cats do not walk into the clinic alone. It takes a caring owner for them to receive the care they need.
This month I would like to recognize Lexi and her owners. Lexi is a thirteen year old Pomeranian who was diagnosed with diabetes awhile back. Lexi did not respond to insulin at all, and it was discovered that she had another hormonal disorder called Cushings disease. This makes it almost impossible to regulate a diabetic on insulin. Not giving up, the owners treated the Cushings, Lexi regulated well on insulin, and all was fine for awhile.
Lexi got very ill one weekend, however, and it was discovered that she was anemic, had a severe reproductive infection, a urinary tract infection, bladder stones and kidney stones. At her age, few owners would have been willing to invest a lot in her care, but her owners were not deterred. Lexi had emergency surgery to spay her and remove the bladder stones. She was treated with antibiotics, hospitalized on IV fluids, and ultimately received a blood transfusion. Being a tough little dog, she gradually rebounded, and was sent home where she continues to do well.
Lexi is a nice little dog whom we all enjoy. Her opportunity at life, however, is the result of a great deal of love and care on the part of her owners. My hat goes off to them all.
