Boarding at Alameda Pet Hospital
Alameda Pet Hospital offers boarding for happy healthy dogs and cats. Our amazing kennel team loves and cares for your pets while you take time away to rest and relax. We also offer day-boarding. Our large, fenced backyard and one-on-one time with our caring team means your pet is getting tons of attention during their stay with us
Boarding pets must be established clients of Alameda Pet Hospital, and they must be current on their examination and vaccinations for boarding. Our staff will also perform a temperament test on new boarders or boarders who haven’t stayed with us for over one year. This is for their well-being, as we want to be sure they eat and drink properly during their stay and aren’t at risk of any self-harm due to stress. Extended stays and pets with ailments may be declined, as our boarding outfit focuses on healthy pets that are good boarding candidates.
Our team really gets to know your pet, and we do have our veterinary team available, should any surprise ailments or concerns surface during their stay.
Feel free to reach out to us for more information!
Our entire staff at Alameda Pet Hospital is proud to announce that we have passed our AAHA accreditation! Our hospital has been accredited for the past 19 years!
AAHA Accreditation for Veterinary Practices
The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) accreditation is a prestigious designation that certifies veterinary practices for meeting high standards of excellence. This accreditation is awarded to veterinary hospitals that successfully demonstrate adherence to over 900 standards, encompassing all aspects of veterinary practice.
The Benefits of Choosing an AAHA-Accredited Veterinary Hospital
1. Superior Care. Accredited hospitals are evaluated on stringent standards covering patient care, pain management, surgery, pharmacy, laboratory, exam facilities, medical records, and cleanliness.
2. Veterinary Team Excellence. The accreditation process encourages veterinary teams to adhere to best practices, engage in continuous learning, and remain updated on the latest advancements in veterinary medicine.
3. Trust and Assurance. Pet owners can feel confident knowing their pets are receiving care from a hospital that has been thoroughly vetted by an independent, third-party organization.
4. Comprehensive Services. Many AAHA-accredited hospitals offer a wide range of services under one roof, providing convenience and continuity of care for pet owners. For services not provided within the boundaries of our hospital, we are able to provide our clients top-notch recommendations for specialty services at other local practices.
How to Find an AAHA-Accredited Veterinary Hospital
If you need to find an AAHA-accredited hospital near you, visit the AAHA website’s “Hospital Locator” tool. Simply enter your location to access a list of nearby accredited facilities. When visiting a hospital that is AAHA-accredited, look for the AAHA logo. Veterinary hospitals that have successfully passed the accreditation process are very happy to display this placard within the building and on their website.
When you choose AAHA accreditation, you choose peace of mind for both you and your furry family members.
