Old Farm Veterinary Hospital

Old Farm Veterinary Hospital offers dog boarding in Frederick, MD, at 100 Tuscanney Dr. Pets board inside a working veterinary hospital, so the team that handles exams is the same team watching them overnight. The practice is AAHA accredited, and has been since 2009.

What a stay looks like

Dogs get spacious runs or private enclosures assigned by size. There is a large backyard for exercise and a wooded area nearby. Cats board in their own quiet room, separate from the dogs. Caretakers are experienced and give boarding pets personal attention.

• Runs and private suites sized to the pet
• Large backyard for exercise and outdoor time
• Grooming on site, including a free bath with a 10-day stay
• Medication administration and special diets handled by staff
• Hill's Science Diet provided, or bring your dog's own food

What makes it different

The clearest difference is the veterinary team on site. If something comes up mid-stay, such as a limp or a skipped meal, care is down the hall rather than across town. That matters most for senior dogs, dogs on daily medication, and dogs eating a prescription diet. Boarding here is set up for established clients of the hospital.

Practical details

Reservations are made by phone at (301) 846-9988. Hours run 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 7:00 AM to noon on Saturday. The hospital is closed on Sunday, so plan drop-off and pick-up around that. All boarding pets must be current on vaccinations. Grooming can be added to a stay, which is handy for a dog coming home after a long trip.
