May Veterinary Northridge

May Veterinary Northridge is a veterinary clinic in Northport, AL that also runs dog boarding and doggie daycare, known as Camp May, at its Watermelon Road address. Boarding dogs and day campers stay on the same site as the medical team, which is the short answer to why owners pick this one.

What's on site

The camp is built around 37 runs, with indoor play space that stays climate controlled for very hot or very cold days. The outdoor area is fully fenced and mixes natural and artificial grass. It also holds an in-ground, full-size fiberglass pool, so swimming is part of the day for dogs who want it.

• 37 runs for boarding and daycare
• Fenced outdoor play yard, natural and artificial grass
• In-ground, full-size fiberglass swimming pool
• Agility and play equipment
• On-site bathing area

What makes it different

The practice is a federally accredited veterinarian practice, and wellness, surgery, and diagnostic care happen in the same place the dogs board. That matters most for senior dogs, dogs on daily medication, or anyone who worries about what happens if something goes wrong at 2 p.m. on a Tuesday. Days are structured rather than open-ended, with play periods, rest periods, and set meal or snack times.
