Animal Boarding Services

Quality Care for Your Dog or Cat

Winnebago Animal Clinic features large climate-controlled indoor runs and a gated outdoor exercise area. We have a Kennel Care Team that comes in to care for every pet morning and evening. All dogs are let outside, individually, in the exercise yard a minimum of four times per day, more if weather permits. We do not allow dogs to mingle together unless they are from the same family.

We feed Science Diet Sensitive stomach kibble dog and cat food, but owners are welcome to bring food from home so as not to disrupt their pet’s diet. We do have a refrigerator to store canned/wet food. All pets are fed per owners instructions. We have our own food/water bowls; please keep bowls at home to avoid becoming lost or damaged. We do allow slow feeders or puzzle bowls for dogs that eat their food too fast. We DO NOT allow raw diets of any kind as we do not have safe handling procedures in place for raw food diets.

Complimentary baths are given to dogs staying five nights or longer. We have large runs to accommodate multiple pets of the same household.

We welcome belongings from home as in toys, bedding, or treats. Please label all belongings. Please understand we will do our best to wash all bedding before it goes home, but there are some items that will not fit in our washer. We will clean those items to the best of our ability, but they may need a more thorough cleaning once they are home. We are not responsible for lost or damaged property.

We offer playtime that is additional one on one time with our Kennel Care Staff. This could include brushing, snuggling, or a game of fetch. There is an additional fee for this service.

Cats have their own private quiet area. They are each provided a clean litter box twice daily. They are given fresh water and bedding daily. We also give them exercise time in the cat room where we have a large cat tree for climbing and lots of toys for playing. 

If you have a pet with special medical needs, please let us know ahead of time so we can accommodate them. We are able to administer medications, including insulin. All medications must come in the originally prescribed bottle with the correct directions. There are extra fees associated with these services. We do have a veterinarian on staff in the event that your pet needs immediate medical care.
