Gentle Care Animal Hospital

Gentle Care Animal Hospital offers dog boarding in Lawrence, Kansas, at an AAHA-accredited veterinary hospital. It is a vet clinic first, so boarded pets stay in the same building where patients come for checkups, vaccines and surgery. For owners whose dogs have health needs, that setup can make time apart feel less stressful.

What services does Gentle Care offer?

Boarding runs alongside the clinic's everyday medical work. The hospital lists these services:

• Pet boarding for dogs from small to giant
• Wellness and preventative care, including vaccinations
• Dental care and surgery
• In-house diagnostics
• Parasite prevention

How is a vet-hospital kennel different?

The main draw is having a veterinarian on site. A dog boarding here stays under the same roof as the team that handles its medical care, instead of at a standalone kennel across town. Owners who already use the practice for their dog's checkups may find that especially convenient.

The hospital calls its approach "Gentle Care," which it describes as compassion paired with good medical and surgical care. The site reads like a neighborhood practice that wants owners involved in decisions about their pets. Small, medium, large and giant dogs are all accepted.

Practical details for Lawrence owners

Gentle Care is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. It is closed on Saturday and Sunday. Owners planning a weekend trip should keep those hours in mind and confirm drop-off and pickup times before booking.
