Why Choose South Sacramento Pet Hospital for Pet Boarding
Your pet’s stay is overseen by veterinarians and trained animal-care specialists who follow protocols centered on health, safety, and enrichment. Our species-specific accommodations feature climate control, separate canine and feline areas, and hospital-grade sanitation to reduce stress and disease risk.
Every stay is customized to your pet’s routine, from feeding and medication timing to play and rest, so they feel right at home. If anything changes, our team communicates promptly with photo/text updates and immediate on-site veterinary support.

We realize that pet care, and chiropractic care especially, is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Our vets practice a personalized approach to ensure each pet receives the best possible care. Each animal’s unique anatomy, condition, and health history plays a key role in what types of treatment our team recommends and performs.
What To Bring With Your Pet
Food & treats: Your pet’s regular, labeled diet in portioned bags or a sealed container; any approved treats.
Medications & supplements: In original containers with dosing instructions; include syringes or insulin supplies if needed.
Records: Current vaccination history and parasite prevention details (your vet can email them to us).
Comfort items (optional): A favorite toy or small blanket that smells like home.
Emergency contacts: Your best number plus an alternate decision-maker.
We provide bowls, bedding, and litter supplies. No need to pack those unless your pet requires a specific item.
