East Montgomery Animal Hospital

East Montgomery Animal Hospital offers dog boarding and daycare in Montgomery, AL, from its veterinary clinic at 8424 Vaugh Rd. Boarding dogs sleep in temperature-controlled indoor runs, and the hospital's veterinary team is on site during stays. The practice holds Fear Free Certification.

What's included in a stay

Kennels measure 4'x6' with raised orthopedic floors, and boarders are walked individually three times daily. Dogs also get time in the indoor and outdoor play yards, where staff supervise play at all times. Indoor runs stay climate-controlled year-round, which counts for a lot during an Alabama summer.

• Doggy daycare with constant staff supervision
• Individual walks three times a day
• Indoor and outdoor play yards plus a large outdoor exercise area
• On-site veterinary team available during stays

Why a vet-run kennel matters

Most boarding facilities have to call a clinic if a dog gets sick. Here the medical staff works in the same building, which is part of why the kennel also takes on veterinary boarding. Owners managing a special diet can sort that out ahead of time; the kennel keeps Royal Canin Gastrointestinal Low Fat food on hand. Daycare suits dogs who would otherwise spend a long workday alone.

Practical details

Booking happens by phone at (334) 277-1101. Published nightly rates run from $18 to $32, depending on the service. The clinic is open 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 8:00 AM to noon on Saturday. It is closed Sunday. Dogs must be current on their vaccinations before boarding, so owners should have records ready when they call.
