Pet Boarding in Dallas
A Home Away From Home
We understand that it can be stressful to leave your pet when you need to be out of town — especially if they are ill, or when they are recovering from surgery or a procedure. At North Tollway Pet Hospital, we want to help put your mind at ease.
We offer complete general pet boarding for cats, dogs & exotic pets, and medical boarding services for pets with conditions standard boarding centers may not be equipped to accommodate.
Pet Boarding: A Typical Day
Dog Boarding
Each morning, the dogs are fed a nutritious breakfast to start the doggy daycare day. While they are out for their first walk, their kennels are cleaned, disinfected and stocked with fresh linens.
Depending on their physical capacity and ability, dogs are walked twice a day and fed regularly. In the evening, dinner is served and we have one walk before bedtime.
Cat Boarding
Your cat will be fed according to your specifications and their requirements, to ensure their routine is kept as consistent as possible with their routine at home.
Litter boxes are checked, cleaned and disinfected periodically throughout the day. Additionally, we refresh linens and clean your kitty's room daily. Our cat boarding area is separated from the dog boarding area to ensure your kitty feels relaxed and safe while they stay with us.
Exotic Pet Boarding
We follow your exotic pet's regular diet and feed them according to your specifications and their needs. Their cage or aquarium will be checked periodically throughout the day and cleaned as required.
Medical Boarding
Your pet will be supervised by our expert veterinarians and nurses, who will administer medications and watch over them closely. Any required medications will be administered to your pet on the same schedule they are used to at home.

- 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 to discuss details about your pet, your boarding needs and our policies. A member of our team will be happy to coordinate your booking. We also invite you to visit our hospital and view our pet boarding area for yourself! Just give us a call, and we’ll set up a time for you to take a tour.
Please note that, due to the nature of our accommodations, we do not accept unaltered dogs. 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 provide Purina EN Gastroenteric® for sensitive stomachs.
