A Home Away From Home
We understand that it can be stressful to leave your pet when you go out of town – especially if they are ill, or when they are recovering from a procedure or surgery. At Rancho Regional Veterinary Hospital, we want to help put your mind at ease.
With technicians and veterinary care close by, our indoor pet boarding facility provides peace of mind. In addition, our indoor facility has cool summers and warm winters.
Boarding: A Typical Day
Dogs
Each morning, the dogs venture outside for fresh air before breakfast. While they are outside, their kennels are cleaned, disinfected, and stocked with fresh linens.
Depending on their physical capacity and ability, we walk the dogs who stay with us at least three times a day.
Your dog will also have supervision throughout their entire stay with us – both during walks and while they rest. In the evening, dinner is served, and then we have one last walk before bedtime.
Cats
Your cat will be fed according to your specifications and their requirements, to ensure their routine is the same as it is at home.
We provide daily interaction with kitties (if they want it!) including play, snuggles, and pets. Litter boxes are checked, cleaned, and disinfected periodically throughout the day.
Medical Boarding in Rancho Cucamonga
Our knowledgeable veterinarians and nurses will administer medications and keep a close eye on your pet. Any medications that are required will be given to your pet on the same schedule that they are used to at home.

We will be glad to administer your pet's medications while they are with us.
- Can I get updates about my pet during their stay?
Yes, feel free to call us during your pet's stay for updates. If there is a problem, we will contact you via the emergency contact information you provide.
- How should I prepare for my pet's stay?
Each animal is different. To prepare for your pet's stay with us, we'll take the following steps to ensure that we can meet their unique needs.
Step 1: Contact us to get started
Call us to book, and discuss details about your pet and your boarding needs. A member of our team will be happy to coordinate your booking.
Pets must be up to date with all vaccinations and free of fleas and ticks to stay at our facility.
Step 2: Book a trial stay
We want to be absolutely sure that we are a good fit for your pet before an extended stay. The trial stay consists of a full day of daycare where we can take the time to assess your pet's temperament and make sure they fit in with the pack.
Step 3: Set your pet up for success
On the day you drop your pet off with us, there are a few steps you can take to help reduce any stress your pet may feel.
Spend some extra time with your pet beforehand, and make sure they get some vigorous exercise so that they are feeling calm. When you arrive at our facility, stay calm, cheerful, and confident during the separation.
- What do you feed animals that don't have their own food?
For pets that are not on a special diet, we can provide high-quality pet food that is appropriate for the size and breed of your pet. An additional fee may apply.
Bathing Services
Our bathing services are available daily, and include shampooing, nail trim, ear cleaning, and anal gland extraction, as well as blow-drying, and brushing.
There are several sanitary and dermatological benefits to regular bathing sessions for cats and dogs, including removal of dirt and odor, reduced shedding, as well as softening and conditioning of the coat. Regular bathing can also help treat and reduce symptoms of any allergies & skin conditions.
