The Family Pet Veterinary Hospital in Ballard can meet all your boarding needs. We understand it's hard to leave your pet when you go on vacation or have a family emergency which is why we do our best to accommodate your needs, dates, and your pet's needs. Our compassionate staff strive to provide a safe, comforting, and relatively normal environment with lots of TLC to minimize the stress and homesickness they may be feeling.
Rates and Policies:
* Boarding charges begin the day of arrival regardless of the time of check in.
* Check-out time for all boarded pets is noon.
* Any pet picked up after noon will be charged a full day of boarding.

Canine * Dogs get three daily walks (approx. 4 blocks each). * Our kennels are entirely indoors to provide the safest boarding experience. The kennels are equipped with blankets, beds, towels, and yoga or memory foam mats for your dog’s comfort. * The Family Pet uses Adaptil in an effort to assure our dog friends are as comfortable as possible. Loud noises and being away from home with strangers can be scary.

Boarding Requirements:
- Canine:
- NEW! Starting January 15st all boarders will be required to have the completed 2 dose CANINE INFLUENZAvaccine in order to board at our facility. This is for the safety of your pet as well as all that come into our facility.
We currently have the vaccine available. Please call to discuss any questions or concerns you might have and to set up an appointment. CANINE INFLUENZA DETAILS HERE. - The Family Pet requires a one day trial period for all dogs being boarded with us for the FIRST TIME. This is to ensure our boarding kennels and your dog are a good fit. The cost of this trial will be applied as a credit towards your dog's first stay with us.
- Current Distemper Parvo (DHPP) & Rabies Vaccines
- Current Bordetella Vaccine within the last 6 months
Feline:
- Current FVRCP & Rabies Vaccines
Canine & Feline:
- Current & Negative Fecal Screenings within the last 6 months
- Pets must be free of fleas! If for some reason your fur-baby comes to board and has fleas we will, at owner’s expense, administer Capstar, an oral over the counter tablet which works instantly to get rid of the little buggers. The price range for this medication, based on pet's weight, is from $10.00 - $20.00.
General:
- All pets have continuous access to clean fresh water and bedding.
- All Bedding is changed daily
- All kennels and cages are cleaned and sanitized daily
- All pets are fed according to your instructions. It is highly recommend that you bring their regular food to eat during the stay. If you prefer, we will feed them our house food (Hill's Sensitive Stomach Formula). There will be an additional fee of $2.00 per day to add FortiFlora (Digestive Probiotics) to help with the transition.
- Our Kennel Technicians are dedicated to not only feeding, walking, and cleaning up after your pets, but also observing their behaviors to make sure they are as comfortable as possible.
- Being a Veterinary Hospital, we are open 7 days a week and have at least 1+ doctor available each day. If your pet develops decreased appetite, loose stool, vomiting or something "just seems off" it will be detected by our experienced caregivers. You have the option of allowing one of our doctors to examine and diagnose them that same day. If the doctor feels that treatment is necessary, you will be contacted by phone for authorization. If we are unable to contact you and the doctor feels these are serious concerns, your pet will be treated and normal fees will be charged. It is very important that you leave a contact number so we can reach you in an emergency or to pre-approve any potential treatments.
