Companion Care Veterinary Clinic

Companion Care Veterinary Clinic is a veterinary practice at 6600 Lake Street in Lake Charles, LA. It offers dog boarding and also boards cats and small pets. The kennel is inside a working animal clinic, so boarded dogs have veterinary care on site for their whole stay.

What does boarding include?

Dogs stay in indoor kennels with climate control. They go out for off-leash exercise several times a day, and each dog has its own partially shaded outdoor run. The clinic says its staff give each guest personal attention.

• Kennels for small, medium, large and giant dogs
• Rubberized flooring for dogs with arthritis
• Medications given during the stay
• Special diets accommodated
• Bathing and spa packages

Who is it a good fit for?

A kennel run by a vet clinic suits owners of senior dogs or dogs on regular medication. The rubberized flooring gives arthritic dogs a softer surface, and staff can give medications during the stay. Large and giant breeds are welcome along with small ones.

It also works for homes with more than one kind of pet. Cats board in a separate feline area where the clinic uses Feliway pheromone spray. Guinea pigs, rabbits and hamsters can board too, which saves a second drop-off before a trip.

Practical details

The clinic is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM and is closed on weekends. Boarding is booked by phone at (337) 477-1325. Dogs must have current vaccinations, so ask which ones are needed when you call to reserve a spot.
