Star Pet Medical Care

Star Pet Medical Care is a veterinary clinic at 5100 Star Rd in Meridian, ID, that also offers dog boarding out of the same building. The practice describes a boarding stay as a pet's home away from home, in a clean and supervised setting.

Why owners choose a vet clinic for boarding

Veterinary care on site is the clearest difference between this and a standalone kennel. The same building handles surgery, dental care, diagnostics, dermatology and senior pet care, so a boarding stay and a medical appointment can happen on one trip. That matters most for older dogs, dogs on daily medication, and dogs recovering from a procedure. For a healthy young dog it may matter less, but the supervision is the same.

• Boarding in a clean, supervised environment

Practical details

Hours run 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, and the clinic is closed Saturday and Sunday. Drop-off and pickup both need to land on a weekday inside that window, which is worth planning around for a weekend trip. Boarding is booked by phone at 208-855-0400. The clinic can also be reached at team@linderpetmed.com, keeps a website at starpetmed.com, and posts on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Before booking, it's worth asking about vaccination requirements, nightly rates, and what owners should bring for a longer stay. Those answers come from the clinic directly, and a phone call is the way to get them.
