With Small, Medium, Large and Luxury Boarding Suites available our boarding facility offers separate heated and air-conditioned kennels. Our luxury boarding suites are large enough that several dogs from the same family can stay together in the same custom room and enjoy a window view of our grounds. All our boarders are exercised and allowed to run in the outdoor exercise yard several times a day.

Our feline boarders are kept separate from the dog kennel area --allowing for a stress-free environment and frequent exercising.

We accept boarding reservations for exotic pets including bunnies, ferrets, hamsters, gerbils, reptiles and birds.

Medical Boarding is for pets with medical conditions that require a level of care beyond the routine services provided by our regular Boarding Staff.  These pets stay in our Patient Care Ward, and are cared for by our Patient Care nurses.  Medical Boarders must have had a physical exam at BRVC in the last year. 

If you are interested in booking a Medical Boarding stay for your pet, please call the hospital (925) 866-8387 to schedule a Medical Boarding Admit appointment.  Please bring a completed Medical Boarding Admit Form when you drop off your pet.
