Border Animal Hospital

Border Animal Hospital offers dog boarding and dog daycare in Weslaco, TX, through its Pet Resort at 617 S International Blvd. The resort operates inside a full veterinary hospital, so lodging, grooming, and medical care all sit under one roof. Boarding is available to the hospital's clients, and every pet that stays must be healthy. The practice sets that rule to protect the other animals and the staff.

What the Pet Resort includes

The resort has 68 dog suites and 14 cat suites, including themed luxury suites called Princess, Prince, and Rio Grande FC. Daycare runs indoor and outdoor playtime. A splash pad was added during recent renovations, which gives dogs a way to cool off in the hotter months.

• 68 dog suites and 14 cat suites
• Specialty themed luxury boarding suites
• Daycare with indoor and outdoor play
• New splash pad for warm weather
• Spa and grooming services from on-staff pet stylists

What makes it different

The veterinary side is the practical difference here. In-house laboratories and imaging, including ultrasound and X-ray, are on site, and the hospital offers urgent care on weekdays and weekends. Owners boarding an older dog, or one with a health condition, may find that proximity useful.

Practical details and booking

The hospital is open 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. Boarding, daycare, and grooming are arranged by appointment. Owners can call (956) 968-3858 or use the appointment request form on the Pet Resort page of the hospital's website. Border Animal Hospital also keeps active Facebook and Instagram pages. Teresa Roberts is the groomer on staff, and Karla Hernandez is the hospital manager.
