Dogwood Animal Hospital & Pet Resort

Dogwood Animal Hospital & Pet Resort is a veterinary clinic and boarding facility at 1293 Old Fannin Rd in Brandon, MS, handling dog boarding and cat boarding for local owners. Boarding runs out of the same building as the hospital, so an on-site full-service veterinarian is part of the setup rather than a phone call away.

What a stay includes

Kennel areas are climate-controlled. Cats stay in private individual suites, and dogs get time in a large fenced yard for daily exercise. Meals are Purina Premium, with daily treats. Staff administer medications, which matters for senior pets or any dog on a prescription schedule.

• Climate-controlled boarding for dogs and cats
• Private individual cat suites
• Large fenced yard for daily exercise
• Grooming services and medication administration
• One-on-one playtime as an add-on

What sets it apart

The calming details are worth noting. Sleeping areas use Adaptil and Feliway diffusers, plus nightlights and ambient music for pets that get rattled in a new place. Dogwood also runs an in-house and online pharmacy, so a refill during a long stay does not mean a separate trip elsewhere. For a nervous or medically fragile dog, that combination of boarding and clinic under one roof is the main draw.

Booking and practical details

Reservations are made by phone at 601-992-9555. Hours are 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM Monday through Friday, and the facility is closed Saturday.
