VCA Rancho Mirage Animal Hospital

VCA Rancho Mirage Animal Hospital handles dog boarding in Rancho Mirage, CA, along with cat boarding and supervised doggy day care, from its location on Highway 111. Boarding runs out of a working animal hospital, so veterinary care is on site. Pets stay in climate-controlled housing, and staff can administer medication during a stay.

What the hospital offers

• Dog and cat boarding, short-term or extended stay
• Doggy day care with supervision through the day
• Daily exercise programs for dogs
• Medication administration for pets that need it
• Climate-controlled housing with a variety of options

Who it suits

The setup fits owners whose dogs need more than a bed and a bowl. A dog on daily pills, an older dog with a condition worth watching, a cat that needs the same: this kind of boarding is built around those cases. Healthy dogs get the same climate-controlled housing and daily exercise, with the veterinary team in the building if something comes up mid-stay. Day care is supervised through the day rather than left to run itself, and exercise is part of the schedule.

Practical details

The hospital is at 71075 Highway 111, Rancho Mirage, CA 92270, open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM and closed Saturday and Sunday. Drop-offs and pickups fall inside those hours, so a weekend trip means a Friday drop-off and a Monday return. Booking is by phone at 760-346-6103. Vaccinations are required, so owners should have records ready before a first stay. Their site encourages owners to call or stop by and see the boarding area for themselves before booking.
