We offer boarding services for our avian
patients. As our space is limited we recommend calling in advance to schedule your boarding reservation.
Our avian boarders are kept in separate rooms and enjoy watching as the staff goes about their day.
It’s not unusual for our bird boarders to learn the beeps and sounds of our medical equipment and mimic
these after staying with us.
Boarding birds can be stressful, even for birds who are routinely
boarded and use to being fed and cared for by our staff. This stress can make undiagnosed conditions
clinically apparent, aggravate current disease and in rare cases lead to death. While we do take every
reasonable precaution necessary and frequently monitor our avian boarders, we do require that owners sign
a waiver acknowledging the medical risk associated with boarding.
First time avian patients are required to have a physical exam by our
avian veterinarian. It is recommended that this exam be done prior to boarding but can be done during
your bird’s stay.
We strongly recommend that every avian patient be examined yearly.
Birds often hide the symptoms chronic disease and we want to ensure that all our avian boarders are
healthy during their stay.
Owners must leave enough food for the bird’s entire stay with us.
If more food is required, you will be responsible for the extra fees.
What to bring:
- Have any medical records faxed from
your current or previous veterinarian. Bring any current medications.
- Bring your bird in an
appropriate cage for his or her stay as we do not provide cages for birds. A “Travel cage” is
acceptable if it is large enough for the bird to stretch his or her wings and has an appropriate
perch for your bird.
- Bring enough food for the entire stay.
- Food and water dishes/crocks.
- Covering for your bird’s cage can be provided or you can bring one.
Small Exotic Mammal Boarding
We offer boarding services for small exotic mammals such as rabbits,
guinea pigs, hamsters, rats, mice, chinchilla, etc. As with birds, boarding small exotics can be
very stressful for the pet. We recommend yearly exams for all exotics prior to boarding.
What to bring:
- A cage appropriate for your pet for his or her entire stay.
- Food for your pet’s entire stay.
If more food is required, food will be purchased and your will be responsible for the additional charges.

daily cage cleaning.
