Gardner Animal Hospital

Gardner Animal Hospital is a veterinary clinic at 945 E Santa Fe in Gardner, KS, that offers dog boarding and doggie daycare alongside its medical services. Because boarding happens inside an animal hospital, dogs stay close to veterinarians for their whole visit. The clinic also boards cats, but in a separate area, so dogs and cats don't share space.

What does boarding include?

Dogs stay in a spacious, temperature-controlled boarding area. Staff can give medications during a stay, and the on-site vets are there if a medical need comes up. Owners who want their dog cleaned up before pickup can ask about bathing and nail trims.

• Overnight dog boarding in a climate-controlled area
• Doggie daycare
• Medication given during stays
• Pet bathing and nail trimming
• Separate boarding areas for cats and dogs

Why board at a vet clinic?

The main draw here is medical backup. If a dog gets sick or hurt while boarding, veterinarians are already in the building. Up-to-date vaccinations are required for boarding. If a dog is missing any, the clinic can give them in-house before the stay, which can save owners an extra appointment somewhere else.

This setup suits dogs on medication or owners who worry about health issues while they travel. It is a clinic setting, and the site describes an approach centered on attentive, personal care.
