Middletown Veterinary Hospital

Middletown Veterinary Hospital offers dog boarding in Middletown, DE through its Pet Resort & Spa at 366 Warwick Road, on the same property as its veterinary hospital. That pairing is the main thing separating it from a standalone kennel. A dog who stops eating mid-stay or comes up limping is a short walk from an exam room instead of a car ride away. The Pet Resort & Spa is the boarding arm; the hospital side covers routine care through emergency hours.

What the Pet Resort offers

• Boarding at the Pet Resort & Spa, with outdoor space
• Grooming and spa services
• Obedience and agility training classes
• Rehabilitation and aquatics, including underwater therapy
• Microchipping and an on-site pharmacy

Care backed by a hospital

Because the hospital shares the address, dogs staying here are near in-house diagnostics such as CT, ultrasound and radiography, plus a pharmacy that can fill a prescription without a second trip. Emergency hours are available. Dogs recovering from surgery or working through mobility problems can keep up rehabilitation and aquatic therapy during a boarding stay, which most kennels cannot arrange. Grooming is handled on site as well, so a bath before pickup does not mean another appointment somewhere else.
