The PARC

The PARC is a veterinary clinic in Fort Worth, TX that also takes overnight guests, offering dog boarding and cat boarding at 4801 W. Freeway. Medical staff are on site around the clock, and vaccines or vet care can be handled during a stay if something comes up. That setup suits dogs on daily medication, older dogs, and owners who would rather have boarding attached to a clinic than to a standalone kennel.

What a stay includes

• Dog rooms with natural light and a flat panel TV set at dog's-eye view
• Private cat suites in three sizes
• In-room dining twice daily and four relief outings a day for dogs
• A bone-shaped swimming pool for dogs, with life vests available
• Grooming, soothing pet massages, and medication administration

What sets it apart

Two things come up most. First, dogs get 24-hour flexible check-in and check-out, so a red-eye arrival or a delayed return does not have to wait for a lobby to open. The building runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Second, care is medically supervised, with a veterinarian on the property and outdoor space for daily outings rather than a single fenced run tacked on at the end of the day.

Households sending more than one pet get 25% off for a second guest sharing accommodations, which makes a week away easier to budget for.

Booking and practical details
