Fairbanks Animal Clinic

Northwest Pet Lodge at Fairbanks Animal Clinic provides dog boarding in Houston, TX, along with daycare and cat boarding, from 8627 Bart Ln. in the 77040 ZIP code. The lodge operates as part of a working animal clinic, so a veterinarian is on site and staff can administer medication for pets that need it.

What a stay looks like

Dogs and cats stay in separate areas, and the space is set up around a quiet environment rather than one loud shared room. Dogs are fed morning and evening and taken out twice a day for walks with caregivers.

Extended playtime is available, and staff make time for one-on-one attention with dogs who want the company. Bathing is offered on request, and veterinarian-recommended flea products are available.

Why owners pick a vet-run lodge

Because boarding here sits inside a veterinary practice, dogs on a daily pill or a dosing schedule have people nearby who already handle that work. That setup also tends to suit owners of senior dogs or dogs with health conditions, who would rather leave their dog somewhere staffed by clinic personnel than at a standalone kennel.

Booking and practical details

The pet lodge is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Saturday from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Reservations are made by phone at 713-937-1982, so plan to call ahead rather than book online. Vaccinations are required for every pet that stays. Owners can also reach the clinic by email at fairbanksvets@yahoo.com or through the Fairbanks Animal Clinic page on Facebook, and full boarding details are posted at fairbanksvet.com.
