Cottonwood Animal Clinic

Cottonwood Animal Clinic is a veterinary clinic at 7171 252nd Rd in Arkansas City, KS, that offers dog boarding in Arkansas City for owners who want veterinarians on the premises while their dog stays. Boarding runs under veterinary supervision, in a secure kennel with outdoor protected runs.

What a boarding stay includes

Dogs stay in a secure kennel and get outside to protected runs. Staff walk canine boarders on a leash twice a day. The kennel accommodates a variety of pet sizes. Food is provided, though owners are welcome to send their dog's usual food and other belongings from home.

• Veterinary-supervised boarding with veterinarians on site
• Secure kennel plus outdoor protected runs
• Twice-daily leash walks
• Food provided for boarders
• Grooming and medication administration

What sets it apart

The kennel sits inside a working animal clinic, so the people watching a boarding dog are the same ones who handle its medical care. Staff can administer medications during a stay, which helps for dogs on a daily pill or injection. Vaccination is required to board. If a dog's Rabies vaccine needs updating, one of the clinic's veterinarians is usually able to give it while the dog is there. Grooming is available as well, so a dog can head home clean after a long trip.
